Abstract

Sulfate radical AOPs (SR-AOP) were successfully utilized in degradation of antibiotics in water and wastewater treatment. The review discusses details on SR-AOPs mechanisms and applications for antibiotics degradation. The progress in this field was discussed, highlighting the most promising developments and remaining challenges. The applicability of SR-AOPs was summarized revealing the most susceptible and persistent to oxidation groups of pharmaceuticals. Highest effectiveness was reported for degradation of pharmaceuticals on ppb level. Systems revealed a scavenging effect in case of oxidant dose 0.7mM of the PS and 2mM of PMS. Future development demands simple persulfates activation systems for real matrix treatment.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The rate of reaction and mineralization in the PS process is enhanced by certain activators.

    “The rate of reaction and mineralization in the PS process is enhanced by certain activators [90-92].”

    From Advanced Oxidation Processes for Degradation of Water Pollutants—Ambivalent Impact of Carbonate Species: A Review (2023) · cites this paper as [90]

    Section 2.1.1.3 (page unavailable) says Fe₃O₄ particles activate PS and accelerate antibiotic decomposition, supporting the reaction-rate part. The Conclusion (page unavailable) says most reviewed studies did not measure pollutant mineralization, so the claimed enhancement of mineralization is not established by this paper. (LLM, conf=0.87)

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.
