Different activation methods in sulfate radical-based oxidation for organic pollutants degradation: Catalytic mechanism and toxicity assessment of degradation intermediates

Wang, Wenqi, Chen, Ming, Wang, Dongbo, Yan, Ming, Liu, Zhifeng·2021·Science of The Total Environment

Abstract

With the continuous development of industrialization, a growing number of refractory organic pollutants are released into the environment. These contaminants could cause serious risks to the human health and wildlife, therefore their degradation and mineralization is very critical and urgent. Recently sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation technology has been widely applied to organic pollutants treatment due to its high efficiency and eco-friendly nature. This review comprehensively summarizes different methods for persulfate (PS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation including ultraviolet light, ultrasonic, electrochemical, heat, radiation and alkali. The reactive oxygen species identification and mechanisms of PS/PMS activation by different approaches are discussed. In addition, this paper summarized the toxicity of degradation intermediates through bioassays and Ecological Structure Activity Relationships (ECOSAR) program prediction and the formation of toxic bromated disinfection byproducts (Br-DBPs) and carcinogenic bromate (BrO3-) in the presence of Br-. The detoxification and mineralization of target pollutants induced by different reactive oxygen species are also analyzed. Finally, perspectives of potential future research and applications on sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation technology in the treatment of organic pollutants 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.
