Background: Advanced oxidation processes are used to remove toxic aromatic compounds with low biodegradability, such as 2-chlorophenol. This study investigates the use of Sulfate (SO4-) and persulfate (S2O82-) radicals, as one of the advanced oxidation methods, to remove 2- chlorophenol from aquatic solutions. Materials and Methods: This experimental and pilot-scale study was carried out usi...

The kinetic study on the oxidation of aniline with oand p-methylaniline by ammonium persulfate (APS) has been carried out. The course of copolymerization was investigated by UV-vis spectroscopic method. Structural characterization was studied by FT-IR spectral analysis. The electronic spectra of the copolymers poly(aniline-co-p-toluidine) and poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine) show hypsochromic shift...

In this study, we demonstrated an oxidative method with free radical to generate 3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (trans-resveratrol) metabolites and detect sequentially by an autosampler coupling with liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometer (LC-ESI-MS/MS). In this oxidative method, the free radical initiator, ammonium persulfate (APS), was placed in a sample bott...

A soluble poly (n-vinyl carbazole)-polypyrrole (PNVC-Ppy) copolymer was prepared through oxidative chemical polymerization wherein dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) was used as a dopant to facilitate polymer-organic solvent interaction and ammonium persulfate (APS) was used as an oxidant. Compared with undoped PNVC-Ppy, the DBSA-doped PNVC-Ppy copolymer showed higher solubility in some selec...

ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS OF PERSULFATE: REMEDIATION CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER AND SOILS. Environmental remediation represents a major technological challenge due to the complexity of environmental matrices and high treatment cost. In recent years, in situ chemical oxidation technologies (ISCO) have shown good cost/benefit ratio, which as favored their use degradation several relevant pollutant...

The impact of chemical on the native microbial population during in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is not well understood. As a result, some concerns exist within the remediation community as to the potential of negative impacts ISCO may have on bioremediation processes, especially its impact on down-gradient plume control via bioremediation and its impact on subsequent natural attenuation proc...

A new net-cationic polyacrylamide dry strength agent was synthesized through free radical polymerization using acrylamide (AM), itaconic acid (IA), N,N-dimethylacrylamide (F), and sodium methallyl sulfonate (T). Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid was used as a chelating agent; dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl chloride (DMC) solution was used as a cationic monomer, and ammonium persulfate (...
