Relevance of a photo-Fenton like technology based on peroxymonosulphate for 17β-estradiol removal from wastewater

Electrochemical degradation of estrone using a boron-doped diamond anode in a filter-press reactor

“…has been actively investigated -see e.g. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Despite yielding some promising results, there are drawbacks.…”

Removal of volatile sulfur compounds by solar advanced oxidation technologies and bioprocesses

“…AOTs are advantageous because they can be used to oxidize a wide variety of contaminants in water and air (Nawaz and Ahsan, 2014;Polo-Lopez et al, 2014). The hydroxyl radicals generated in AOTs can oxidize organic contaminants in a short time and at ambient temperatures (Tekin et al, 2006;MacAdam et al, 2012;Brienza et al, 2014;Nawaz and Ahsan, 2014;Polo-Lopez et al, 2014). These hydroxyl radicals can be produced in different ways in AOTs, allowing better compliance with different treatment requirements (Brienza et al, 2014;Castro et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014;Tijani et al, 2014).…”

Effect of sulfate radical oxidation on disintegration of waste activated sludge

“…The oxidants used include ozone (Chu et al, 2009;Yang et al, 2012), chlorine dioxide , potassium ferrate (Ye et al, 2012a(Ye et al, , 2012bWu et al, 2015), potassium permanganate (Wu et al, 2014), hydrogen peroxide (Fard et al, 2013), etc. While sulfate radicals (SO 4 À$ ) were widely used in oxidizing organic pollutants in wastewater (Anipsitakis and Dionysiou, 2003;Shi et al, 2012;Brienza et al, 2014), SO 4 À$ oxidation is still a new approach to disintegrate WAS. SO 4 À$ are generated by oxone (2KHSO 5 $KHSO 4 $K 2 SO 4 ) with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as its active species.…”
