The presence of diverse pollutants in water has been threating human health and aquatic
ecosystems on a global scale. For more than a century, chemical oxidation using strongly …

Abstract Sulfate radical (SO 4•−)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have become
promising alternatives in environmental remediation due to the higher redox potential (2.6 …

Chemical oxidants have been applied in water treatment for more than a century, first as
disinfectants and later to abate inorganic and organic contaminants. The challenge of …

Even though ozone has been applied for a long time for disinfection and oxidation in water
treatment, there is lack of critical information related to transformation of organic compounds …

Life and element cycling on Earth is directly related to electron transfer (or redox) reactions.
An understanding of biogeochemical redox processes is crucial for predicting and protecting …

Persulfate (S2O82–) is being used increasingly for in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) of
organic contaminants in groundwater, despite an incomplete understanding of the …

MnO4–was activated by HSO3–, resulting in a process that oxidizes organic contaminants at
extraordinarily high rates. The permanganate/bisulfite (PM/BS) process oxidized phenol …

Bentazon (BTZ) in water, a broadly used herbicide in agriculture, is toxic to human beings
and has a negative impact on ecosystem. In this study, zero-valent iron (ZVI) activation of …

In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) are applicable to
treatment of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated ethenes. ISCO with persulfate …

Although intermediate manganese species can be generated during the reactions of
permanganate (Mn (VII)) with organic pollutants in water, the role of the in situ generated …
