Increasing quantities of pharmaceutical pollutants have been found in aquatic ecosystems. The treatment has a major task that people committed to recent years. removal can be achieved by adsorption and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Compared with other carbon materials, biochar strong capacity persulfate activation ability, more importantly, is cheap easy obtain; thus, it higher economic ...

The combination process of UV/ S2O82-/Al2O3 leads to the production of radicals and radical hydroxyls, which could decompose and remove various pollutants, such as phenol. The present study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic efficiency of aluminum oxide nanoparticles and persulfate compilative processes in the removal of phenol. This e...

Emerging contaminants (ECs) usually refer to pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins, personal care products, cosmetics, and medications. Due the strong demand quick growth of these businesses, ECs have continuously been found in alarming amounts groundwater, surface water, wastewater. These provide a significant non-esthetic threat ecosystem as whole can cause contaminatio...

Emerging characteristics upon nitrogen-doping were differentiated in the activation of superoxides over single-walled carbon nanotubes. Both experimental and theoretical studies revealed that enhanced peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is ascribed to a nonradical process while persulfate (PS) activation is accelerated via directly oxidizing water, yet hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) activation is iner...

This work focuses on removing hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) found in groundwater polluted with dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) by photo-oxidation hydrogen peroxide or persulfate using LED visible light and ferrioxalate as the catalyst. Single oxidation tests were also performed to evaluate contribution of LED-vis HCHs removal. Results show that it is possible attain degradation up 85% ...
