This letter discusses possible improvements in experimental conditions to enable a purposeful discussion on the effect of substituent groups on the reductive degradation of azo dyes by elemental iron (Fe(0)) in a recent article by Hou and his co-workers. Also recalled is the pH dependence of the iron corrosion mechanism which is usually overlooked in the iron technology literature.

He, Hou, Lih, Shao, Wang, and Zhu showed that a planar graph of girth 11 can be decomposed into a forest and a matching. Borodin, Kostochka, Sheikh, and Yu improved the bound on girth to 9. We give sufficient conditions for a planar graph with 3-cycles to be decomposable into a forest and a matching. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
