PG - 160818 LID - S0048-9697(22)07921-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160818 [doi] AB - Over the past few years, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) exhibiting high ecotoxicity have been widely detected in the environment. Persulfate-oxidation hybrid system is one of the most widely used novel advanced oxidation techniques and is based on the persulfate generation of SO(4)(-∙) and ∙OH from persulfate to degrade POPs. The overarching aim of this work is to provide a critical review of the variety of methods of peroxide activation (e.g., light activated persulfate, heat-activated persulfate, ultrasound-activated persulfate, electrochemically-activated persulfate, base-activated persulfate, transition metal activated persulfate, as well as Carbon based material activated persulfate). Specifically, through this article we make an attempt to provide the important characteristics and uses of main activated PS methods, as well as the prevailing mechanisms of activated PS to degrade organic pollutants in water. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of each activation method are analyzed. This work clearly illustrates the benefits of different persulfate activation technologies, and explores persulfate activation in terms of Sustainable Development Goals, technical feasibility, toxicity assessment, and economics to facilitate the large-scale application of persulfate technologies. It also discusses how to choose the most suitable activation method to degrade different types of POPs, filling the research gap in this area and providing better guidance for future research and engineering applications of persulfates.
