Persulfate-based Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have gained a lot of attentions in
organic decontamination in the past decades. Copper (Cu)/persulfate is an interesting …

Natural organic matter (NOM), a key component in aquatic environments, is a complex
matrix of organic substances characterized by its fluctuating amounts in water and variable …

The degradation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) by the UV/H 2 O 2
and UV/chlorine processes was compared at practical concentrations in simulated drinking …

Photochemical reactions contribute to the transformation of contaminants and
biogeochemically important substrates in environmental aquatic systems. Recent research …

Membrane fouling is a recognized obstacle for the application of ultrafiltration (UF) for
drinking water treatment. In this study, ultraviolet/persulfate (UV/PS) oxidation was employed …

Chloride ion (Cl–) is one of the most common anions in the aqueous environment. A
mathematical model was developed to determine and quantify the impact of Cl–on the …

We evaluated the degradation of methylparaben (MeP) and ethylparaben (EtP), two
representative parabens, using the heat-activated persulfate system in a laboratory. Both …

Halide ions are common in wastewater but their roles in advanced oxidation processes
(AOPs) and the degradation of pollutants are reportedly highly variable. This review seeks to …

The use of membrane-based technology has evolved into an important strategy for
supplying freshwater from seawater and wastewater to overcome the problems of water …

Bromide (Br−) is a typical scavenger to sulfate radical (SO 4•−) and hydroxyl radical (HO•),
which simultaneously forms secondary reactive bromine species (RBS) such as Br• and Br …
