Summary: In this study, excellent H2S removal performance was achieved by wet scrubbing persulfate solution combined with UV irradiation. The H2S removal efficiency was enhanced with the increase of UV power and initial (NH4)2S2O8 concentration, but restrained with the increase of initial H2S concentration and gas flow. Free radicals of sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals played a leading role in H2S oxidation in the advanced oxidation process.

Summary: A photocatalytic sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation process using persulfate (PS) catalyzing UV light and heterogeneous catalyst was studied for degrading 4-chlorophenol. By anchoring ferroferric oxide nanoparticles on activated carbon (FOC) as a supporter of TiO2 nanoparticles, a recoverable photocatalyst (FOCT) was fabricated. The system demonstrated excellent elimination efficiency in coupling with UV irradiation and PS, with high PCP decontamination rate and good reusability. The main reactive species in the system were identified as SO4 center dot - and HO center dot radicals.

Summary: This study investigates the removal of lindane using persulfate activated with ferrioxalate under simulated solar light and circumneutral pH conditions. The influence of operating parameters is evaluated, and a kinetic model based on radical mechanism is proposed and validated. Results indicate that complete removal of lindane can be achieved in 300 minutes using 2.29 mM persulfate and 0.12 mM ferrioxalate. Furthermore, chloride mineralization higher than 90% is attained under these conditions. The proposed kinetic model fits well with experimental results and can aid in predicting lindane degradation in complex effluents and different operating conditions.

Summary: Sulfate radicals (SO4 center dot- )-based advanced oxidation processes have gained significant attention for their high catalytic activity in treating water pollutants. The combination of iron-based materials with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) or persulfate (PS) is an effective way to generate reactive sulfate radicals. The analysis of different heterogeneous iron-based catalysts for PMS or PS activation provides insights into their microstructure, electrical properties, and the effects of various engineering approaches on activation.

Summary: Organic contaminant abatement by upgraded electrochemical process is highly efficient. An electrochemical advanced oxidation process is developed by combining in situ electro-generation of persulfate on beta-PbO2 anode and hydrogen peroxide on carbon cathode. The presence of reactive species, such as 1O2, ·OH, and SO4·-, produced on-site contributes to the strong oxidant power and mineralization. The application of oxygen-depolarized electrode not only produces hydrogen peroxide but also reduces cell voltage and energy consumption.

Summary: In this study, the degradation and mineralization of para-nitrophenol in aqueous medium were investigated using a mixture of two strong oxidants, persulfate and periodate. Optimization and modeling of the process were performed, and the results showed that the process could remove para-nitrophenol up to 91.6% in optimal conditions. The mineralization efficiency under these conditions was approximately 57%, and the kinetic study revealed a pseudo-first-order reaction with a rate constant of 0.052 (L/min). The electrical energy consumption for the process was calculated as 110.77 (kWh/m^3) in the optimum condition. Overall, the results demonstrated that the use of homogeneous hybrid AOP methods enhances mineralization efficiency.

Summary: Biomass waste from pomegranate husk was converted into a carbon sheet electrode, which was effective in removing 4-chlorophenol from water. The highest removal efficiency was observed at pH 6.0, applied voltage of 1.5 V, ionic strength of 0.85 mM, and contact time of 270 min. Increasing the applied voltage significantly improved the removal efficiency, while increasing the initial 4CP concentration decreased the efficiency. The carbon electrode showed a high sorption capacity and potential for removing other phenolic compounds.

Summary: Catalytic membrane based oxidation-filtration processes (AOP-CM) provide an efficient water purification strategy by combining physical separation and chemical oxidation. However, the low efficiency of heterogeneous AOPs in catalytic membranes has hampered the application of AOP-CM. To improve the efficiency, an isoporous AlOx/La2CoMnO6-delta ceramic membrane (IAPCM) with nano-confinement characteristics was prepared. The well-designed pore structure of IAPCM resulted in excellent water permeance and size-exclusion performance. Addition of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) enabled ultrafast degradation of organic micropollutants in the IAPCM system. This work emphasizes the significance of pore structure design for high-performance AOP-CM processes.

Summary: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have been introduced into the market for various applications. The synthesis of new generations of ENMs is now considering environmental, economic, and social criteria alongside technical aspects for sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the appropriate criteria for ENM synthesis as the technologies move from laboratory to pilot and full-scale production. This study adopts a fuzzy-Delphi methodology to identify the main criteria and sub-criteria for sustainable fabrication of ENMs, and assesses the level of consensus among experts on their relative importance. Health and safety risks of equipment and materials, solvent used, and availability of green experts were identified as the most critical criteria.

The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.
