The fate of two fractions of 8 May 2006 SOM, particulate organic matter (POM) and nonparticulate organic matter (NPOM), during Accepted 11 May 2006 CHP reactions was evaluated using concentrations of hydrogen peroxide from 0.5 to 3 M catalyzed by soluble iron (III), an iron (III)-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) chelate, Keywords:
