Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Alkanolamine is widely applied in industry usually for gas treatment process to remove acid gases prior to utilization. Though the absorbent is recycled through the system, some carry over into water stream is unavoidable. Due to high solubility and toxicity of the absorbent, simple removal process or conventional wastewater treatments are inefficient to treat the contaminated water. The photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds were reported to be efficient for treatment or persistent pollutant. In this paper, the synthesized TiO 2 was modified with Cu, Fe or Cu-Fe via wet impregnation method. Characterization of the prepared photocatalysts were conducted using BET analyzer, X-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscope, diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectrophotometer, and point of zero charge determination. The band gap of the photocatalysts was reduced to as low as 2.55 eV (1.8Cu-0.2Fe/TiO 2 ) compared to bare TiO 2 with a band gap of 3.11 eV. The performance of the photocatalysts for photodegradation of diisopropanolamine (DIPA) was studied using a batch glass reactor under simulated sunlight. The bimetallic photocatalyst 1.8Cu-0.2Fe/TiO 2 displayed the highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) and DIPA removals of 67% and 92%, respectively. Based on the photocatalytic degradation data, all the photocatalysts were found to follow pseudo−first order kinetic with 1.8Cu-0.2Fe/TiO 2 giving the highest apparent rate constant, k app = 16.5×10 -3 min -1.
