Various oxidants such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ferrate(VI), ozone, and hydroxyl radicals can be applied for eliminating organic micropollutant by oxidative transformation during water treatment in systems such as drinking water, wastewater, and water reuse. Over the last decades, many second-order rate constants (k) have been determined for the reaction of these oxidants with model compou...

Vanilic Acid Article 2200431 by Markus Stöckl, Siegfried R. Waldvogel, and co-workers demonstrates a new method how to obtain selectively vanillic acid, flavouring agent antioxidant, from side-stream lignins degradation using electrochemically generated ferrate as oxidizer. In times of climate changes the utilization relevant bio-based lignin renewable feedstock for fine chemicals is considered...
