Abstract:Iodinated contrast media compounds (ICMs) are intensively applied in medical diagnostic radiology and have received wide environmental concerns due to formation potential of iodinated disinfection byproducts. Conventional water/wastewater treatment processes cannot effectively remove ICMs; reducing their total organic iodine concentration is even more difficult. The source control or elimination of ICMs thus becomes necessary. We report here that the refractory ICMs (5 μM) can be efficiently deiodinated by asc… Show more
