Hydroxyl radical formation in aqueous reactions (pH 3-8) of iron(II) with hydrogen peroxide: the photo-Fenton reaction

The results of studies of "photo-Fenton reactions" under various test conditions are in good agreement with the hypothesis that Fe(II) and its oxalate, citrate and phosphate complexes react with hydrogen peroxide to produce a hydroxyl radical in water at pH values ranging from 3-8.
