Ozonation catalyzed by the raw bauxite for the degradation of 2,4,6-trichloro…

Abstract. A kind of inexpensive and environmental friendly mineral, the raw bauxite has been used successfully as a catalyst combined with ozonation in the degradation of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA). The catalyst was characterized by using various analytical techniques. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) characterization showed that the raw bauxite containing boehmite (y-AlOOH), kaolinite (Al…
