Sulfate radicals are well-known for their strong oxidation potential (2.60 V), their high
reaction rate (106–109 M/s) and longer life span (t 1/2= 30–40 μs). Owing to the revealed …

Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been applied in soil
remediation to degrade traditional pollutants in situ, such as polychlorinated biphenyls …

Thermal activation of persulfates (TAP) is a facile and easy-to-operate advanced oxidation
technology for on-site decontamination of organic pollutants. Sulfate (SO 4•−) and hydroxyl …

Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil/gas shales has changed the energy landscape of
the US Recovery of hydrocarbons from tight, hydraulically fractured shales is a highly …

The handling and treatment of produced water (PW) generated during oil and gas extraction
has continued to be a serious dilemma due to its large quantities and complex composition …

A novel approach to the abatement of pollutants consisting of their conversion to separable
solid polymers is explored by a heat/persulfate (PDS) process for the treatment of high …

Carbonaceous materials have emerged as a method of persulfate activation for remediation.
In this study, persulfate activation using powdered activated carbon (PAC) was …

Hydraulic fracturing for gas production is now ubiquitous in shale plays, but relatively little is
known about shale-hydraulic fracturing fluid (HFF) reactions within the reservoir. To …

Shale gas has been developed as an alternative to conventional energy worldwide,
resulting in a large amount of shale gas fracturing flowback and produced water (FPW) …

In this study, we investigated the degradation kinetics of a commonly used iodinated contrast
medium, iohexol, by using heat-activated persulfate. The results indicate that the iohexol …
