【 摘 要 】

This letter presents an improved discussion of the data provided in a recent article on EDTA removal from aqueous solutions using elemental iron (Fe-0) by O. Gyliene and his co-workers. It is shown that the authors have furnished a brilliant validation of the concept that dissolved contaminants are primary removed in Fe-0/H2O systems by adsorption onto iron corrosion products and co-precipitation with iron corrosion products. It is reiterated that contaminant removal and contaminant reduction should not be interchanged randomly. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
