Transition metal doped apatites as inert non-toxic pigments by Pang, Khin Yin

“…FTIR and UV-Vis scans of the samples revealed that the doped copper substituted hydroxyl groups and existed as Cu3+ and Cu+ ions as well. SEM and SEM-EDX analysis also revealed that the ball-milling process could cause sample degradation if the sample underwent the process for prolonged periods of time. …”

Transformation by-product identification from oxidation processes of waters containing model organic micropollutants (Nonylphenol) by Toh, Jewell Zi Le

“…Nonylphenol accumulates in environmental matrices with high organic content, such as sewage sludge, river works, and sediments, and persists in soil and groundwater due to its physical-chemical features, such as poor solubility and high hydrophobicity, hence it should be removed through water disinfection before consumption. Halide ions like Bromide and Iodide are also increasing commonly in our water as seawater intrusion has become more severe. …”
