“…This could be attributed to the activation of persulfate by organic matters in wastewater. 38 The cost evaluation of Fenton and persulfate processes was simply made. The price of hydrogen peroxide, persulfate and ferrous sulfate (heptahydrate) was 1.06 V per g, 0.28 V per g and 0.15 V per g, respectively (based on the price obtained from Sigma Aldrich company).…”

“…Persulfate (i.e., peroxydisulfate, PS) has been widely used as an oxidant during the treatment of contaminated water. , Application of PS in the field remediation possesses some benefits, including the high stability during storage and transportation and low cost ($ 0.74/kg) . Catalyzed cleavage of peroxide bond in PS produces plentiful free radicals (e.g., • OH and SO 4 •– ) or highly active complexes, exhibiting the higher reactivity toward organic contaminants (e.g., halogenated/phenolic compounds) than the PS itself. − When injecting into the contaminated zone, the minerals (i.e., transition metals or their oxides) , or organic matters (i.e., quinones) , in aquifers could activate PS.

Persulfate (PS) activation on biochar (BC) is a promising technology for degrading the aqueous organic contaminants. However, the complexity of activation mechanisms and components in biomass that used to produce BC makes it difficult to predict the performance of PS activation. In this study, we employed eight sludges as the representative biomass that contained absolutely different organic or inorganic components. Results showed that the elemental composition, surface properties, and structures of the sludge-derived BCs (SBCs) clearly depended on the inherent components in the sludges. The intensities of persistent free radicals (PFRs) in the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) correlated positively with Ncontaining content of sludges as electron shuttle, but negatively with the metal content as electron acceptor. Linking with PFRs as crucial sites of triggering a radical reaction, a poly-parameter relationship of predicting PS activation for organic degradation using the sludge components was established (k obs,PN = 0.004 × C protein + 0.16 × C M −0.895 −0.118). However, for the PS activation on those SBCs without PFRs, this redox process only relied on the sorption or conductivity-related characteristics, not correlating with the content of intrinsic components in biomass but with pyrolysis temperatures. This study provided insightful information of predicting the remediation efficiency of PS activation on BCs and further understanding the fate of contaminants and stoichiometric efficiency of oxidants in a field application.
“…hydroxyl), sulphate can target many organic substances due to single electron transfer as the preferred pathway (Ahmad et al 2013;Huang et al 2005;Waclawek 2021). In other words, during the application of ISCO, OM naturally present in soils will also degrade alongside the organic pollutants (Haselow et al 2003;Teel et al 2016). Non-spiked sand by comparison to non-spiked soil produced very little CO 2 with SPS (Fig.…”

“…Established activation methods include UV light, heat, activated carbon, alkaline conditions, and transition metals (mainly Fe 2+ ) (Devi et al 2016;Zhou et al 2018). Metals and organic matter (OM) components (the latter including phenols and quinones) naturally present in soils can catalyse the oxidative reaction of persulphate (Ahmad et al 2013;Fang et al 2013;Teel et al 2016). One perceived drawback of persulphate in development projects in the UK is where there are concerns over the introduction of sulphate on the integrity of concrete.…”
In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is a popular remediation technique for hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and groundwater. A range of oxidising agents and activators are available for ISCO; however, selection is usually based on contaminant destruction which is time-consuming and impacted by sample heterogeneity based on 1-10 g sample contaminant analysis. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of an automated respirometer, measuring CO 2 production, as a rapid and reliable approach for activator type and concentration selection. The approach is demonstrated based on tests in matrices of different types (loam soil and sand). In both matrices, CO 2 production was significantly increased following sodium persulphate (SPS) oxidation with iron activation in a concentration-dependant manner. Alkaline activation led to no increased CO 2 production compared to SPS addition without activation. The approach will provide greater confidence in treatability testing and reagent efficiency in ISCO projects.
