a b s t r a c tFe-Al layered double hydroxides (Fe-Al LDH, the molar ratio of Fe(II) to Fe(III) was about 1:10) was successfully supported and highly dispersed on mesoporous Al 2 O 3 based on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Fe-Al LDH/Al 2 O 3 was more efficient in inhibiting BrO 3 À formation and removing organic pollutant taking ozonation alone as control. Further investigation indicated that BrO 3 À reduction by surface Fe(II) was responsible to the complete inhibition of BrO 3 À formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
