AB  - Sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been widely 
      applied in environmental remediation during the past decade, especially in the 
      degradation of refractory organic contaminants. The electrochemical method, which 
      is considered as one of the most efficient ways to generate sulfate radical, has 
      been extensively investigated for the activation of persulfate recently. This 
      work presented a thorough assessment towards the performance of electrochemically 
      activated persulfate for the removal of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 
      aqueous systems. The mechanism and superiority of electrochemically activated 
      persulfates were revealed accordingly. Some major factors (e.g., electrode 
      material, pH, current density, and persulfate concentration) influencing the 
      electrochemical activation of persulfates to remove POPs were also discussed. 
      Considering the increasing quantity of publications on this subject, it is 
      significant to broader guidelines such as the efficiency for practical 
      application, quantization of organic by-products, and cost-effectiveness of the 
      electrochemical method to optimize active persulfate in the water treatment 
      processes.
