Abstract

Abstract Sulfate radicals are well-known for their strong oxidation potential (2.60 V), their high reaction rate (106–109 M/s) and longer life span (t1/2 = 30–40 μs). Owing to the revealed impact it is accomplished by oxidizing, many pesticides, dye, and heavy organic substances such as waste activated sludge (WAS) in a very short time duration. In this review, current research exploration, novel encounters, long pathway of sulfate radicals travelling in environmental management and commercial implementation prominence to persulfate oxidation process are abridged and revealed. A broad evaluation analysis intended in this review established its mesmerizing ascendancies over the conventional persulfate oxidation process with respect to rapid, more efficient, broad pH range and outstanding reaction. Regardless of the abundant improvement attained earlier, there are still several challenges for persulfate activation through transition metals such as heavy metal deposit, metal leaching, removal of sulfate, reusability, etc. To tackle the overhead complications, a novel scenario catalyst with a non-radical pathway, i.e. carbon-grounded catalyst (activated carbon, graphene oxide, biochar, etc.) is under extensive trials. The challenge and practical problems faced in the course of sulfate radical usage are deliberated and the upcoming need for a study to promote full-scale implementations of those approaches are proposed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
