Conventional water treatment methods are difficult to remove stubborn pollutants emerging
from surface water. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can achieve a higher level of …

Cost-effective oxidation is one of the hot topics in the remediation of environmental
pollutants in recent years. Copper species have been recognized as efficient activators or …

Activation of persulfates to degrade refractory organic pollutants is currently a hot topic of
advanced oxidation. Develo** simple and effective activation approaches is crucial for the …

Abstract Copper ion (Cu (II)) in water or wastewater has been reported to trigger
peroxymonosulfate (PMS) oxidation of organic contaminants (OCs). However, this process …

As a typical advanced oxidation technology, the Fenton reaction has been employed for the
disinfection, owing to the strong oxidizability of hydroxyl radicals (· OH). However, the …

A new potential oxidation process is provided by CuFe2O4/hydroxylamine (HA) system for
degradation of antibiotics in water. The CuFe2O4/HA system can generate reactive oxygen …

The ability of persulfate (PS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activated by micron or
nanoscale zero-valent copper (ZVC or nZVC) to degrade 2, 4-dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP) …

Phosphonate is an important category of highly soluble organophosphorus in contaminated
waters, and its oxidative transformation into phosphate is usually a prerequisite step to …

Quinone–hydroquinone analogues have been proven to be efficient promoters of Fenton
reactions by accelerating the Fe (III)/Fe (II) redox cycle along with self-destruction. However …

Despite long‐term efforts for exploring antibacterial agents or drugs, potentiating
antibacterial activity and meanwhile minimizing toxicity to the environment remains a …
