Abstract

Retraction of ‘Synergetic effects of ultrasound combined with Fenton pretreatment that accelerates wasted activated sludge anaerobic fermentation to produce volatile fatty acids’ by Hongxu Bao et al., RSC Advances, 2016, DOI: 10.1039/c6ra19028f


We, the named authors, wholly retract this RSC Advances article due to extensive overlap with data published in ref. 1, which means that this RSC Advances paper is redundant. Ref. 1 was not cited in this RSC Advances article.

The following figures and tables reproduce data from ref. 1: Fig. 3, 5–9 and Table 1.

The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience to authors and readers.
