“…And it can be produced from persulfate (PS) through photochemical, thermal, radiolytic, or redox decomposition [Reactions (1)-(4)] [16]. Persulfate oxidation has been applied to degrade various contaminants, such as Azo dye acid orange 7 [17], PCBs [18], gasoline or petroleum components [19][20], chlorophenols [16,21], and bisphenol A [22]. Transition metals such as Co, Ag, Cu, Fe have certain activation ability on PS for pollutants degradation at normal temperature and pressure.…”
