Abstract
Chemical oxidation is extensively utilized to mitigate the impact of organic pollutants in wastewater. The non-radical oxidation driven by iron-based materials is noted for its environmental friendliness and resistance to wastewater matrix, and it is a promising approach for practical wastewater treatment. However, the complexity of heterogeneous systems and the diversity of evolutionary pathways make the mechanisms of non-radical oxidation driven by iron-based materials elusive. This work provides a systematic review of various non-radical oxidation systems driven by iron-based materials, including singlet oxygen (1O2), reactive iron species (RFeS), and interfacial electron transfer. The unique mechanisms by which iron-based materials activate different oxidants (ozone, hydrogen peroxide, persulfate, periodate, and peracetic acid) to produce non-radical oxidation are described. The roles of active sites and the unique structures of iron-based materials in facilitating non-radical oxidation are discussed. Commonly employed identification methods in wastewater treatment are compared, such as quenching, chemical probes, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electrochemical testing. According to the process of iron-based materials driving non-radical oxidation to remove organic pollutants, the driving factors at different stages are summarized. Finally, challenges and countermeasures are proposed in terms of mechanism exploration, detection methods and practical applications of non-radical oxidation driven by iron-based materials. This work provides valuable insights for understanding and developing non-radical oxidation systems.

Abstract
A radical trapping method based on an SH2' homolytic substitution reaction was applied to study the mechanism of a photochemical spirocyclisation of indole-ynones in the presence of thiols. Starting material, products and a range of trapped radical intermediates were simultaneously detected in reaction mixtures by mass spectrometry (MS). The trapped intermediates included both initiating and main chain propagating radicals. These data made it possible to propose a self-initiation mechanism consistent with the originally postulated photoexcitation of an intramolecular electron donor-acceptor complex of the substrate. The effect of thiol structure on the MS peak intensity of the reaction components was rationalised in terms of the relative stability of the radical intermediates. The results were compared to a simpler related reaction, a photochemical thiol-ene addition where reagents, products and trapped intermediate radicals were also detected by MS. Relative MS peak intensities were again explained by a combination of electronic and steric effects on the stability of intermediate radicals. Overall, SH2' radical trapping was demonstrated to be a powerful experimental technique for providing mechanistic evidence on photochemical and other organic radical reactions.

Abstract
The escalation of global water pollution due to emerging pollutants has gained significant attention. To address this issue, catalytic peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation technology has emerged as a promising treatment approach for effectively decontaminating a wide range of pollutants. Recently, modified biochar has become an increasingly attractive as PMS activator. Metal-heteroatom-co-doped biochar (MH-BC) has emerged as a promising catalyst that can provide enhanced performance over heteroatom-doped and metal-doped biochar due to the synergism between metal and heteroatom in promoting PMS activation. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the fabrication pathways (i.e., internal vs external doping and pre-vs post-modification) and key parameters (i.e., source of precursors, synthesis methods, and synthesis conditions) affecting the performance of MH-BC as PMS activator. Subsequently, an overview of all the possible PMS activation pathways by MH-BC is provided. Subsequently, Also, the detection, identification, and quantification of several reactive species (such as, •OH, SO4•-, O2•-, 1O2, and high valent oxo species) generated in the catalytic PMS system by MH-BC are also evaluated. Lastly, the underlying challenges associated with poor stability, the lack of understanding regarding the interaction between metal and heteroatom during PMS activation and quantification of radicals in multi-ROS system are also deliberated.

Abstract
Actinides are inherently radioactive; thus, ionizing radiation is emitted by these elements can have profound effects on its surrounding chemical environment through the formation of free radical species. While previous work has noted that the presence of free radicals in the system impacts the redox state of the actinides, there is little atomistic understanding of how these metal cations interact with free radicals. Herein, we explore the effects of radiation (UV and γ) on three U(VI) trinitrate complexes, M[UO2(NO3)3] (where M=K+, Rb+, Cs+), and their respective nitrate salts in the solid state via electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Raman spectroscopy paired with Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. We find that the alkali salts form nitrate radicals under UV and γ irradiation, but also note the presence of additional degradation products. M[UO2(NO3)3] solids also form nitrate radicals and additional DFT calculations indicate the species corresponds to a change from the bidentate bound nitrate anion into a monodentate NO3 • radical. Computational studies also highlight the need to include the second sphere coordination environment around the [UO2(NO3)3]0,1 species to gain agreement between the experimental and predicted EPR signatures.

Abstract
The development of new compounds to treat Chagas disease is imperative due to the adverse effects of current drugs and their low efficacy in the chronic phase. This study aims to investigate nitroisoxazole derivatives that produce oxidative stress while modifying the compounds' lipophilicity, affecting their ability to fight trypanosomes. The results indicate that these compounds are more effective against the epimastigote form of T. cruzi, with a 52 ± 4% trypanocidal effect for compound 9. However, they are less effective against the trypomastigote form, with a 15 ± 3% trypanocidal effect. Additionally, compound 11 interacts with a higher number of amino acid residues within the active site of the enzyme cruzipain. Furthermore, it was also found that the presence of a nitro group allows for the generation of free radicals; likewise, the large size of the compound enables increased interaction with aminoacidic residues in the active site of cruzipain, contributing to trypanocidal activity. This activity depends on the size and lipophilicity of the compounds. The study recommends exploring new compounds based on the nitroisoxazole skeleton, with larger substituents and lipophilicity to enhance their trypanocidal activity.

Abstract
Humic acid (HA) is ubiquitous in natural aquatic environments and effectively accelerates decontamination by permanganate (Mn(VII)). However, the detailed mechanism remains uncertain. Herein, the intrinsic mechanisms of HA's impact on phenolics oxidation by Mn(VII) and its intermediate manganese oxo-anions were systematically studied. Results suggested that HA facilitated the transfer of a single electron from Mn(VII), resulting in the sequential formation of Mn(VI) and Mn(V). The formed Mn(V) was further reduced to Mn(III) through a double electron transfer process by HA. Mn(III) was responsible for the HA-boosted oxidation as the active species attacking pollutants, while Mn(VI) and Mn(V) tended to act as intermediate species due to their own instability. In addition, HA could serve as a stabilizer to form a complex with produced Mn(III) and retard the disproportionation of Mn(III). Notably, manganese oxo-anions did not mineralize HA but essentially changed its composition. According to the results of Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and the second derivative analysis of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, we found that manganese oxo-anions triggered the decomposition of C-H bonds on HA and subsequently produced oxygen-containing functional groups (i.e., C-O). This study might shed new light on the HA/manganese oxo-anion process.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) is of great importance in diagnosing the physiological functions of neurotransmission, cardiovascular, and immune systems. This study reports the carbon nanotube-interconnected ruthenium phthalocyanine nanoparticle nanocomposite and its applicability in construction of an electrochemical platform, which could real-time detect NO released from the vascular endothelial barrier (VEB) model in cell culture medium. The nanocomposite exhibits regular morphology, uniform particle size, and excellent electro-catalytic activity to electrochemical oxidation of NO. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical device has high sensitivity (0.871 μA μM-1) and can selectively detect NO down to the concentration of 6 × 10-10 M. The human brain microvascular endothelial cells were cultured onto the Transwell support to construct the VEB model. Upon stimulated by L-arginine, NO produced by the VEB diffuses into the bottom chamber of the Transwell, and is real-time monitored by the electrochemical device. Moreover, evaluation of the NO inhibition by drug is realized using the electrochemical device-Transwell platform. This simple and sensitive platform would be of great interesting for evaluating the endothelial function or its pathological states, and screening the related drugs or chemicals.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) emerges as a promising disinfectant and oxidant applied worldwide, and its application has been broadened for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in wastewater treatment. Current studies on transition metal-activated AOPs utilized relatively high concentrations of catalysts, leading to potential secondary pollution concerns. This study boosts the understanding of reaction mechanism in PAA activation system under a low-level concentration. Herein, trace levels of Co(II) (1 μM) and practical dosages of PAA (50-250 μM) were employed, achieving noticeable ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation efficiencies (75.8-99.0%) within 20 min. Two orders of magnitude of the CIP's antibacterial activity significantly decreased after Co(II)/PAA AOP treatment, which suggested the effective ecological risk control capability of the reaction system. The degradation performed well in various water matrices and the primary reactive species is proposed to be CoHPO4-OO(O)CCH3 complexes with scavenging tests and electron paramagnetic resonance tests. The degradation pathway of fluoroquinolones including piperazine ring-opening (dealkylation and oxidation), defluorination, and decarboxylation, were systematically elucidated. This study boosts a comprehensive and novel understanding of PAA-based AOP for CIP degradation.

Abstract
Herein, Bi3+/Mn4+ doped Ca2LaTaO6 phosphors with a double-perovskite structure were successfully synthesized with solid-state reaction at high temperature. The photoluminescence (PL) performances were investigated in detail. The blue radiation (∼465 nm) from the Bi3+ ion and the red radiation (∼686 nm) originating from the Mn4+ ion were obtained under 313 nm excitation. Especially, the pathway of energy transfer (Bi3+ → Mn4+) contributes to enhance the red emission intensity (Mn4+: ∼686 nm) in Ca2LaTaO6:Bi3+/Mn4+ system. The PL mechanism of Ca2LaTaO6:Bi3+/Mn4+ was analyzed through luminescence lifetimes and PL spectra. Moreover, the emitting bands of Ca2LaTaO6:Bi3+/Mn4+ were primarily matched with the absorbing bands of carotenoids and phytochrome PFR on behalf of plant growth, so the phosphors were suitable for the design of a plant growth light under near-ultraviolet to blue excitation. At last, the optical temperature dependent performances of the Ca2LaTaO6:Bi3+/Mn4+ were analyzed with luminescence intensity ratio technology. The sample has presented excellent temperature measuring relative sensitivity (SR = 2.106% K-1). The results illustrated that the Ca2LaTaO6:Bi3+/Mn4+ phosphor also can be used to develop an optical temperature sensor.

Abstract
The review considers the problem of hydrogen peroxide decomposition and hydroxyl radical formation in the presence of iron in vivo and in vitro. Analysis of the literature data allows us to conclude that, under physiological conditions, transport of iron, carried out with the help of carrier proteins, minimizes the possibility of appearance of free iron ions in cytoplasm of the cell. Under pathological conditions, when the process of transferring an iron ion from a donor protein to an acceptor protein can be disrupted due to modifications of the carrier proteins, iron ions can enter cytosol. However, at pH values close to neutral, which is typical for cytosol, iron ions are converted into water-insoluble hydroxides. This makes it impossible to decompose hydrogen peroxide according to the mechanism of the classical Fenton reaction. A similar situation is observed in vitro, since buffers with pH close to neutral are used to simulate free radical oxidation. At the same time, iron hydroxides are able to catalyze decomposition of hydrogen peroxide with formation of a hydroxyl radical. Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide with iron hydroxides is called Fenton-like reaction. Studying the features of Fenton-like reaction in biological systems is the subject of future research.

Abstract
This study provided an in-depth understanding of enhanced algae inactivation by combining ultraviolet and peracetic acid (UV/PAA) and selecting Microcystis aeruginosa as the target algae species. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests and scavenging experiments provided direct evidence on the formed reactive species (RSs) and indicated the dominant role of RSs including singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl (HO•) and organic (RO•) radicals in algae inactivation. Based on the algae inactivation kinetic model and the determined steady-state concentration of RSs, the contribution of RSs was quantitatively assessed with the second-order rate constants for the inactivation of algae by HO•, RO•, and 1O2 of 2.67 × 109, 3.44 × 1010, and 1.72 × 109 M-1 s-1, respectively. Afterward, the coexisting bi/carbonate, acting as a shuttle, that promotes the transformation from HO• to RO• was evidenced to account for the better performance of the UV/PAA system in algae inactivation under the natural water background. Subsequently, along with the evaluation of the UV/PAA preoxidation to modify coagulation-sedimentation, the possible application of the UV/PAA process for algae removal was advanced.

Abstract
Catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation are appealing in the purification of organic wastewater. Singlet oxygen (1O2) is widely recognized as a crucial reactive species for degrading organic contaminants in catalysts/PMS systems due to its adamant resistance to inorganic anions, high selectivity, and broad pH applicability. With the rapid growth of studies on 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems, it becomes necessary to provide a comprehensive review of its current state. This review highlights recent advancements concerning 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems, with a primary focus on generation pathways and identification methods. The generation pathways of 1O2 are summarized based on whether (distinguished by the geometric structures of metal species) or not (distinguished by the active sites) the metal element is included in the catalysts. Furthermore, this review thoroughly discusses the influence of metal valence states and metal species with different geometric structures on 1O2 generation. Various potential strategies are explored to regulate the generation of 1O2 from the perspective of catalyst design. Identification methods of 1O2 primarily include electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), quenching experiments, reaction in D2O solution, and chemical probe tests in catalysts/PMS systems. The principles and applications of these methods are presented comprehensively along with their applicability, possible disagreements, and corresponding solutions. Besides, an identifying procedure on the combination of main identification methods is provided to evaluate the role of 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems. Lastly, several perspectives for further studies are proposed to facilitate developments of 1O2 in catalysts/PMS systems.

Abstract
Halogenated organic compounds are widespread, and decades of heavy use have resulted in global bioaccumulation and contamination of the environment, including water sources. Here, we introduce the most common halogenated organic water pollutants, their classification by type of halogen (fluorine, chlorine, or bromine), important policies and regulations, main applications, and environmental and human health risks. Remediation techniques are outlined with particular emphasis on carbon-halogen bond strengths. Aqueous advanced redox processes are discussed, highlighting mechanistic details, including electrochemical oxidations and reductions of the water-oxygen system, and thermodynamic potentials, protonation states, and lifetimes of radicals and reactive oxygen species in aqueous electrolytes at different pH conditions. The state of the art of aqueous advanced redox processes for brominated, chlorinated, and fluorinated organic compounds is presented, along with reported mechanisms for aqueous destruction of select PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Future research directions for aqueous electrocatalytic destruction of organohalogens are identified, emphasizing the crucial need for developing a quantitative mechanistic understanding of degradation pathways, the improvement of analytical detection methods for organohalogens and transient species during advanced redox processes, and the development of new catalysts and processes that are globally scalable.

Abstract
Due to the limitations of the conventional refinery methods, development of a new method such as oxidative denitrogenation (ODN) is highly desirable. This study described a novel ODN to remove organo-nitrogenous compounds (ONCs) in liquid fuel by ascorbic acid (AscH2) and H2O2 redox system under ambient conditions. Seven ONCs including pyridine, quinoline, acridine, 7,8-benzoquinoline, indole, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were chosen to assess the fuel-denitrified ability of the AscH2/H2O2 system. The results showed that the basic group of ONCs (pyridine, quinoline, and acridine) can be effectively removed (removal ratio > 95 %) while the removal efficiency of water-soluble compounds (7,8-benzoquinoline, NMP, and DMF) was moderate (61-68 %) under a mild temperature (30 °C) and atmospheric pressure. Free radical quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments confirmed that hydroxyl and AscH2 radicals played a major role in the degradation of ONCs. The degraded products of quinoline were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy and ion chromatography. Based on the identified intermediate products, a putative reaction pathway majorly involving three steps of N-onium formation, transfer hydrogenation, and free radical oxidative ring-opening was suggested for the quinoline degradation. The presented approach can be performed at a normal temperature and pressure and will live up to expectations in the pre-denitrogenation and selective removal of basic ONCs in fuel oils.

Abstract
Here, we present a rapidly prototyped, cost-efficient, and 3D printed quasi-optical sample holder for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in modern, resonator-free, and high-field electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR) spectrometers. Such spectrometers typically operate in induction mode: The detected EPR ("cross-polar") signal is polarized orthogonal to the incident ("co-polar") radiation. The sample holder makes use of an adjustable sample positioner that allows for optimizing the sample position to maximize the 240-gigahertz magnetic field B1 and a rooftop mirror that allows for small rotations of the microwave polarization to maximize the cross-polar signal and minimize the co-polar background. When optimally tuned, the sample holder was able to improve co-polar isolation by ≳20 decibels, which is proven beneficial for maximizing the SNR in rapid-scan, pulsed, and continuous-wave EPR experiments. In rapid-scan mode, the improved SNR enabled the recording of entire EPR spectra of a narrow-line radical in millisecond time scales, which, in turn, enabled real-time monitoring of a sample's evolving line shape.

Abstract
Understanding the radical behaviours during polymer degradation is beneficial to unveil and regulate the degradation pathways of polymers to achieve a sustainable polymer development. However, it is a long-standing challenge to study radical behaviours owing to the ultra-short lifetime of the transient radicals generated during the polymer degradation. In this contribution, we have proposed the radical-triggered luminescence to monitor the radical behaviours during polymer degradation without/with the addition of inorganic additives. It was disclosed that the pure polymers showed a single sigmoidal dynamic curve from peroxy radicals (ROO⋅) emissions, leading to the exponential proliferation for the degradation evolution. Alternatively, the degradation pathways with the addition of additives, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with positively charged Al centers, could be modulated into a double sigmoidal dynamics, involving the main product of alkoxy radicals (RO⋅) with the activation energy of 40.2 kJ/mol and a small amount of ROO⋅ with 76.3 kJ/mol, respectively. Accordingly, the polymers with the additive-regulated pathways could exhibit prominently anti-degradation behaviours. This work is beneficial for the deep understanding of the radical mechanisms during polymer degradation, and for the rational design of anti-degradation polymers.

Abstract
Redox signaling from mitochondria (mt) to the cytosol and plasma membrane (PM) has been scarcely reported, such as in the case of hypoxic cell adaptation or (2-oxo-) 2-keto-isocaproate (KIC) β-like-oxidation stimulating insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. Mutual redox state influence between mitochondrial major compartments, the matrix and the intracristal space, and the cytosol is therefore derived theoretically in this article to predict possible conditions, when mt-to-cytosol and mt-to-PM signals may occur, as well as conditions in which the cytosolic redox signaling is not overwhelmed by the mitochondrial antioxidant capacity. Possible peroxiredoxin 3 participation in mt-to-cytosol redox signaling is discussed, as well as another specific case, whereby mitochondrial superoxide release is diminished, whereas the matrix MnSOD is activated. As a result, the enhanced conversion to H2O2 allows H2O2 diffusion into the cytosol, where it could be a predominant component of the H2O2 release. In both of these ways, mt-to-cytosol and mt-to-PM signals may be realized. Finally, the use of redox-sensitive probes is discussed, which disturb redox equilibria, and hence add a surplus redox-buffering to the compartment, where they are localized. Specifically, when attempts to quantify net H2O2 fluxes are to be made, this should be taken into account.

Abstract
Here we describe the synthesis and characterization of a new uranyl peroxide cluster (UPC), U60 Ox30 *, which captures and stabilizes oxygen-based free radicals for more than one week. These radical species were first detected with a nitroblue tetrazolium colorimetric assay and U60 Ox30 * was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction as well as infrared (IR), Raman, UV-Vis-NIR, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Identification of the free radicals present in U60 Ox30 * was done via room temperature solid and solution state X-band EPR studies using spin trapping methods. The spin trapping agent 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) was definitive for identifying the free radicals in U60 Ox30 *, which are hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) that are stable for up to ten days that also persist upon addition of the metalloenzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase. Addition of the spin trapping agent α-(4-pyridyl N-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (POBN) further confirmed the radicals were oxygen based, and deuteration experiments showed that the origin of the free radicals was from the decomposition of H2 O2 in water. These results demonstrate that highly oxidizing species such as the ⋅OH radical can be stabilized in UPCs, which alters our understanding of the role of free radicals present in spent nuclear fuel.

Abstract
There are a wide range of applications with ionizing radiation and a common theme throughout these is that accurate dosimetry is usually required, although many newer demands are provided by improved features in higher range, multi-spectral and particle type detected. Today, the array of dosimeters includes both offline and online tools, such as gel dosimeters, thermoluminescence (TL), scintillators, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), radiochromic polymeric films, gels, ionization chambers, colorimetry, and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurement systems. Several future nanocomposite features and interpretation of their substantial behaviors are discussed that can lead to improvements in specific features, such as (1) lower sensitivity range, (2) less saturation at high range, (3) overall increased dynamic range, (4) superior linearity, (5) linear energy transfer and energy independence, (6) lower cost, (7) higher ease of use, and (8) improved tissue equivalence. Nanophase versions of TL and ESR dosimeters and scintillators each have potential for higher range of linearity, sometimes due to superior charge transfer to the trapping center. Both OSL and ESR detection of nanomaterials can have increased dose sensitivity because of their higher readout sensitivity with nanoscale sensing. New nanocrystalline scintillators, such as perovskite, have fundamentally important advantages in sensitivity and purposeful design for key new applications. Nanoparticle plasmon coupled sensors doped within a lower Zeff material have been an effective way to achieve enhanced sensitivity of many dosimetry systems while still achieving tissue equivalency. These nanomaterial processing techniques and unique combinations of them are key steps that lead to the advanced features. Each must be realized through industrial production and quality control with packaging into dosimetry systems that maximize stability and reproducibility. Ultimately, recommendations for future work in this field of radiation dosimetry were summarized throughout the review.

Abstract
Soaking aged fat pork is a special aging process in the production of Chi-aroma Baijiu considered to involve the formation of free radicals. This study aimed to investigate the free radicals' formation pathway in Chi-aroma Baijiu during aged fat pork soaking by using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and spin trapping with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrrolin-n-oxide (DMPO). The alkyl radical adducts (DMPO-R) and hydroxyl radical adducts (DMPO-OH) were detected in Baijiu after soaking the fat pork for aging. During the preparation process of aged fat pork, alkoxy radicals adduct (DMPO-RO) were mainly detected since lipid oxidation. Oleic acid and linoleic acid, the two main unsaturated fatty acids in fat pork, produced alkoxy radicals in the oxidation process. The total amounts of spins in linoleic acid and oleic acid after 4-month oxidation treatment increased by 248.07 ± 26.65% and 34.17 ± 0.72% than 0-month. It indicated that the free radicals in aged Chi-aroma Baijiu were mainly derived from the two main unsaturated fatty acids in aged fat pork and linoleic acid had a stronger ability to produce free radicals than oleic acid. Alkoxy radicals (RO·) from fat pork reacted with ethanol in Baijiu to form alkyl radicals (R·). The peroxide bond of hydroperoxides from the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acid was cleaved to form hydroxyl radicals (·OH) that were transferred to Baijiu. The results provide theoretical guidance for the subsequent work of free radicals scavenging.

Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder that arises after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Despite affecting around 7% of the population, there are currently no definitive biological signatures or biomarkers used in the diagnosis of PTSD. Thus, the search for clinically relevant and reproducible biomarkers has been a major focus of the field. With significant advances of large-scale multi-omic studies that include genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data, promising findings have been made, but the field still has fallen short. Amongst the possible biomarkers examined, one area is often overlooked, understudied, or inappropriately investigated: the field of redox biology. Redox molecules are free radical and/or reactive species that are generated as a consequence of the necessity of electron movement for life. These reactive molecules, too, are essential for life, but in excess are denoted as "oxidative stress" and often associated with many diseases. The few studies that have examined redox biology parameters have often utilized outdated and nonspecific methods, as well as have reported confounding results, which has made it difficult to conclude the role for redox in PTSD. Herein, we provide a foundation of how redox biology may underlie diseases like PTSD, critically examine redox studies of PTSD, and provide future directions the field can implement to enhance standardization, reproducibility, and accuracy of redox assessments for the use of diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of this debilitating mental health disorder.

Abstract
Bacteria eradication and subsequent periodontal tissue reconstruction is the primary task for periodontitis treatment. Commonly used antibiotic therapy suffers from antibiotic resistance. Meanwhile, promoting fibroblast activity is crucial for re-establishing a damaged periodontal structure. In addition to the fibroblast activation property of Mg2+, photobiomodulation (PBM) has recently attracted increasing attention in wound healing. Using the same 635 nm laser resource, PBM could simultaneously work with antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) to achieve antibacterial function and fibroblast activation effect. Herein, multifunctional microspheres were designed by employing poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres to load tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, named as PMT, with sustained Mg2+ release for 20 days. PMT achieved excellent antibacterial photodynamic effect for periodontal pathogens F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis by generating reactive oxygen species, which increases cell membrane permeability and destroys bacteria integrity to cause bacteria death. Meanwhile, PMT itself exhibited improved fibroblast viability and adhesion, with the PMT + light group revealing further activation of fibroblast cells, suggesting the coordinated action of Mg2+ and PBM effects. The underlying molecular mechanism might be the elevated gene expressions of Fibronectin 1, Col1a1, and Vinculin. In addition, the in vivo rat periodontitis model proved the superior therapeutic effects of PMT with laser illumination using micro-computed tomography analysis and histological staining, which presented decreased inflammatory cells, increased collagen production, and higher alveolar bone level in the PMT group. Our study sheds light on a promising strategy to fight periodontitis using versatile microspheres, which combine aPDT and PBM-assisted fibroblast activation functions.

Abstract
βL-crystallin aggregation due to oxidative damage in the presence of H2O2 and ferric chloride was studied in-vitro under conditions close to physiological. It was shown that the protein aggregation characterized by the nucleation time and the aggregation rate significantly depended on the composition of the isoosmotic buffers used, and decreased in the series HEPES buffer > Tris buffer > PBS. Ferric chloride at neutral pH was converted into water-insoluble iron hydroxide III (≡FeIIIOH). According to the data of scanning electron microscopy the ≡FeIIIOH particles formed in HEPES buffer, Tris buffer, and PBS practically did not differ in structure. However, the sizes of ≡FeIIIOH floating particles measured by dynamic light scattering differed significantly and were 44 ± 28 nm, 93 ± 66 nm, 433 ± 316 nm (Zaver ± SD) for HEPES buffer, Tris buffer, and PBS, respectively. It was found by the spin trap method that the ability of ≡FeIIIOH to decompose H2O2 with the formation of a •OH decreases in the series HEPES buffer, Tris buffer, and PBS. The authors suggest that the ability to generate •OH during the decomposition of H2O2 is determined by the total surface area of ≡FeIIIOH particles, which significantly depends on the composition of the buffer in which these particles are formed.

Abstract
Biological oxidation processes are in the core of life energetics, play an important role in cellular biophysics, physiological cell signaling or cellular pathophysiology. Understanding of biooxidation processes is also crucial for biotechnological applications. Therefore, a plethora of methods has been developed for monitoring oxidation so far, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. We review here the available methods for monitoring oxidation and their basic characteristics and capabilities. Then we focus on a unique method - the only one that does not require input of additional external energy or chemicals - which employs detection of biological autoluminescence (BAL). We highlight the pros and cons of this method and provide an overview of how BAL can be used to report on various aspects of cellular oxidation processes starting from oxygen consumption to the generation of oxidation products such as carbonyls. This review highlights the application potential of this completely non-invasive and label-free biophotonic diagnostic method.

Spin Trapping Analysis of Radical Intermediates on the Thermo-Oxidative Degradation of Polypropylene. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 15:polym15010200. [PMID: 36616549 PMCID: PMC9824095 DOI: 10.3390/polym15010200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermo-oxidative degradation behavior of polypropylene (PP) by comparing three types of pristine PP granules (consisting of homopolymer, random copolymer, and block copolymer) with their corresponding oxidized analogues. These analogues were intensely oxidized under oxygen at 90 °C for 1000 h by using the electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trapping method that can detect short-lived radical intermediates during the degradation. The degrees of oxidation could be evaluated by chemiluminescence (CL) intensity, which was related to the concentration of hydroperoxide groups generated in the PP chain. In the pristine PP samples, a small amount of hydroperoxides were found to be formed unintentionally, and their homolysis produces alkoxy radicals, RO•, which then undergo β-scission to yield chain-end aldehydes or chain-end ketones. These oxidation products continue to take part in homolysis to produce their respective carbonyl and carbon radicals. On the other hand, in the oxidized PP granules, because of their much higher hydroperoxide concentration, the two-stage cage reaction and the bimolecular decomposition of hydroperoxides are energetically favorable. Carbonyl compounds are formed in both reactions, which are then homolyzed to form the carbonyl radical species, •C(O)-. PP homopolymer produced the largest amount of carbonyl radical spin adduct; thus, it was found that the homopolymer is most sensitive to oxygen attack, and the presence of ethylene units in copolymers enhances the oxidation resistance of PP copolymers.

Abstract
Visible light (400-800 nm) can lead to photooxidation of protein formulations, which might impair protein integrity. However, the relevant mechanism of photooxidation upon visible light exposure is still unclear for therapeutic proteins, since proteinogenic structures do not absorb light in the visible range. Here, we show that exposure of monoclonal antibody formulations to visible light, lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which subsequently induce specific protein degradations. The formation of ROS and singlet oxygen upon visible light exposure is investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. We describe the initial formation of ROS, most likely after direct reaction of molecular oxygen with a triplet state photosensitizer, generated from intersystem crossing of the excited singlet state. Since these radicals affect the oxygen content in the headspace of the vial, we monitored photooxidation of these mAb formulations. With increasing protein concentrations, we found (i) a decreasing headspace oxygen content in the sample, (ii) a higher relative number of radicals in solution and (iii) a higher protein degradation. Thus, the protein concentration dependence indicates the presence of higher concentration of a currently unknown photosensitizer.

Abstract
Magnetic nanosystems (MNSs) consisting of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) coated by human serum albumin (HSA), commonly used as a component of hybrid nanosystems for theranostics, were engineered and characterized. The HSA coating was obtained by means of adsorption and free radical modification of the protein molecules on the surface of IONPs exhibiting peroxidase-like activity. The generation of hydroxyl radicals in the reaction of IONPs with hydrogen peroxide was proven by the spin trap technique. The methods of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electron magnetic resonance (EMR) were applied to confirm the stability of the coatings formed on the surface of the IONPs. The synthesized MNSs (d ~35 nm by DLS) were intraarterially administered in tumors implanted to rats in the dose range from 20 to 60 μg per animal and studied in vivo as a contrasting agent for computed tomography. The long-term (within 14 days of the experiment) presence of the MNSs in the tumor vascular bed was detected without immediate or delayed adverse reactions and significant systemic toxic effects during the observation period. The peroxidase-like activity of MNSs was proven by the colorimetric test with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as a substrate. The potential of the synthesized MNSs to be used for theranostics, particularly, in oncology, was discussed.

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy characterizes the magnetic properties of paramagnetic materials at the atomic and molecular levels. Resonators are an enabling technology of EPR spectroscopy. Microresonators, which are miniaturized versions of resonators, have advanced inductive-detection EPR spectroscopy of mass-limited samples. Here, we provide our perspective of the benefits and challenges associated with microresonator use for EPR spectroscopy. To begin, we classify the application space for microresonators and present the conceptual foundation for analysis of resonator sensitivity. We summarize previous work and provide insight into the design and fabrication of microresonators as well as detail the requirements and challenges that arise in incorporating microresonators into EPR spectrometer systems. Finally, we provide our perspective on current challenges and prospective fruitful directions.

Abstract
Bioactive materials of natural origin have great demand in industry and medicine due to their versatility and useful properties. The main purpose of this work is to prepare biocomposites for the dual purpose of modified silk fibroin (Bombyx mori L.), which protects against the destructive effects of bioactive, antioxidant and ultraviolet rays. For this purpose, an aqueous extract of autumn leaves of the anthocyanin-rich smoke tree plant (Cotinus coggygria L.) was applied. 2% thiourea solution was used to increase the durability of the modified SF to external influences and for use in textiles. The intensity of free radicals in silk fibroin-anthocyanin (SFA) and silk fibroin-anthocyanin-thiourea (SFAT) biocomposites modified by the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) method was studied. Maximum adsorption time was determined 20 minutes and the intensity of free radicals in SFA bio-composite was 80-85% and in SFAT biocomposite 50-55% in relation to silk fibroin untreated. For biomedical use of SFA, the radical scavenger activity kinetics were studied on a UV-2700 spectrophotometer and radical capture activity was calculated: RSA% (bioextract) = 73.52 ± 0.5, RSA% (SF) = 6.42 ± 0.4, RSA% (SFA) = 45.23 ± 0.8

Abstract
![]()
We report a new general method for trapping short-lived
radicals,
based on a homolytic substitution reaction SH2′.
This departure from conventional radical trapping by addition or radical–radical
cross-coupling results in high sensitivity, detailed structural information,
and general applicability of the new approach. The radical traps in
this method are terminal alkenes possessing a nitroxide leaving group
(e.g., allyl-TEMPO derivatives). The trapping process
thus yields stable products which can be stored and subsequently analyzed
by mass spectrometry (MS) supported by well-established techniques
such as isotope exchange, tandem MS, and high-performance liquid chromatography-MS.
The new method was applied to a range of model radical reactions in
both liquid and gas phases including a photoredox-catalyzed thiol–ene
reaction and alkene ozonolysis. An unprecedented range of radical
intermediates was observed in complex reaction mixtures, offering
new mechanistic insights. Gas-phase radicals can be detected at concentrations
relevant to atmospheric chemistry.

WATER RESEARCH 2022; 221:118747. [PMID: 35728498 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.118747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 119] [Impact Index Per Article: 59.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Accurate identification of radicals in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is important to study the mechanisms on radical production and subsequent oxidation-reduction reaction. The commonly applied radical quenching experiments cannot provide direct evidences on generation and evolution of radicals in AOPs, while electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a cutting-edge technology to identify radicals based on spectral characteristics. However, the complexity of EPR spectrum brings uncertainty and inconsistency to radical identification and mechanism clarification. This work presented a comprehensive study on identification of radicals by in-situ EPR analysis in four typical UV-based homogenous AOPs, including UV/H2O2, UV/peroxodisulfate (and peroxymonosulfate), UV/peracetic acid and UV/IO4- systems. Radical formation mechanism was also clarified based on EPR results. A reliable EPR method using organic solvents was proposed to identify alkoxy and alkyl radicals (CH3C(=O)OO·, CH3C(=O)O· and ·CH3) in UV/PAA system. Two activation pathways for radical production were proposed in UV/IO4- system, in which the produced IO3·, IO4·, ·OH and hydrated electron were precisely detected. It is interesting that addition of specific organic solvents can effectively identify oxygen-center and carbon-center radicals. A key parameter in EPR spectrum for 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) spin adduct, AH, is ranked as: ·CH3 (23 G) >·OH (15 G) >IO3· (12.9 G) >O2·- (11 G) ≥·OOH (9-11 G) ≥IO4· (9-10 G) ≥SO4·- (9-10 G) >CH3C(=O)OO· (8.5 G) > CH3C(=O)O· (7.5 G). This study will give a systematic method on identification of radicals in AOPs, and shed light on the insightful understanding of radical production mechanism.

Abstract
The chemistry of B12 coenzymes is highly sensitive to the nature of their upper axial ligand and can be further tuned by their environment. Methylcobalamin, for example, generates RPs photochemically but undergoes non-radical biochemistry when bound to its dependent enzymes. Owing to the transient nature of the reaction intermediates, it remains a challenge to investigate how their environment controls reactivity. Here, we describe how to use time-resolved electron paramagnetic spectroscopy to directly monitor the generation and evolution of transient radicals that result from the photolysis of a B12 coenzyme. This method produces evolving, spin-polarized spectra that are rich in mechanistic detail.

Abstract
EPR spectroscopy is a technique that provides direct information about free radicals in biological systems. So far, X-band EPR was seldomly used for in vivo studies as the small resonator size and high power used to detect EPR signals were unsuitable for living organisms. Here, we report new solutions which lift some limitations and make X-band EPR suitable for an in vivo detection of free radicals in zebrafish - a small laboratory animal that is often used as a model for various studies related to free radicals. We designed specially-shaped glass and quartz capillaries to ensure the zebrafish's safety during the experiments. The optimal EPR spectrometer parameters, safe for zebrafish embryos and sufficient to obtain EPR spectrum, were 4 scans by 20s, 100G sweep, and 0.8 mW power. Combining the specially-shaped capillary with a multi-harmonic analyzer for the EPR spectrometer allowed increasing the time up to 16 scans by 11s and lowering the power to 0.25 mW. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate the detection of melanin radicals and the 5-DSA spin probe in zebrafish larvae. As fish survive the EPR scans, the possibility of performing multiple measurements of free radicals in living zebrafish offers new tools for studies aiming to understand redox biology and membrane-dependent functions in both health and disease.

Abstract
Obtaining a subcellular resolution for biological samples doped with stable radicals at room temperature (RT) is a long-sought goal in electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI). The spatial resolution in current EPRI methods is constrained either because of low electron spin polarization at RT or the experimental limitations associated with the field gradients and the radical linewidth. Inspired by the recent demonstration of a large electron spin hyperpolarization in chromophore-nitroxyl spin probe molecules, the present work proposes a novel optically hyperpolarized EPR imaging (OH-EPRI) method, which combines the optical method of two-photon confocal microscopy for hyperpolarization generation and the rapid scan (RS) EPR method for signal detection. An important aspect of OH-EPRI is that it is not limited by the abovementioned restrictions of conventional EPRI since the large hyperpolarization in the spin probes overcomes the poor thermal spin polarization at RT, and the use of two-photon optical excitation of the chromophore naturally generates the required spatial resolution, without the need for any magnetic field gradient. Simulations based on time-dependent Bloch equations, which took into account both the RS field modulation and the hyperpolarization generation by optical means, were performed to examine the feasibility of OH-EPRI. The simulation results revealed that a spatial resolution of up to 2 fL can be achieved in OH-EPRI at RT under in vitro conditions. Notably, the majority of the requirements for an OH-EPRI experiment can be fulfilled by the currently available technologies, thereby paving the way for its easy implementation. Thus, the proposed method could potentially bridge the sensitivity gap between the optical and magnetic imaging techniques.

Inhibitory Effect of Tamarix ramosissima Extract on the Formation of Heterocyclic Amines in Roast Lamb Patties by Retarding the Consumption of Precursors and Preventing Free Radicals. Foods 2022; 11:foods11071000.

Abstract
Tamarix ramosissima has been widely used as barbecue skewers for the good taste and unique flavor it gives to the meat, but the effects of T. ramosissima on heterocyclic amine (HA) formation in roast lamb are unknown. The influence of T. ramosissima extract (TRE) on HA formation, precursors’ consumption, and free radicals’ generation in roast lamb patties were elucidated by UPLC-MS, HPLC, and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis, respectively. Six HAs were identified and compared with the control group; the total and polar HAs decreased by 30.51% and 56.92% with TRE addition at 0.30 g/kg. The highest inhibitory effect was found against 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-f]pyridine (PhIP) formation (70.83%) at 0.45 g/kg. The addition of TRE retarded the consumption of HA precursors, resulting in fewer HAs formed. The typical signal intensity of free radicals in roast lamb patties significantly decreased with TRE addition versus the control group (p < 0.05), and the higher the levels of the TRE, the greater the decrease in signal intensity. We propose that the inhibitory effects of TRE on HA formation, especially on polar HAs, were probably achieved by retarding the consumption of precursors and preventing free radicals from being generated in roast lamb patties. These findings provide valuable information concerning TRE’s effectiveness in preventing HA formation through both the precursor consumption and free radical scavenging mechanisms.

Abstract
Free radicals are formed as a part of normal metabolic activities but are neutralized by the endogenous antioxidants present in cells/tissue, thus maintaining the redox balance. This redox balance is disrupted in certain neuropathophysiological conditions, causing oxidative stress, which is implicated in several progressive neurodegenerative diseases. Following neuronal injury, secondary injury progression is also caused by excessive production of free radicals. Highly reactive free radicals, mainly the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), damage the cell membrane, proteins, and DNA, which triggers a self-propagating inflammatory cascade of degenerative events. Dysfunctional mitochondria under oxidative stress conditions are considered a key mediator in progressive neurodegeneration. Exogenous delivery of antioxidants holds promise to alleviate oxidative stress to regain the redox balance. In this regard, natural and synthetic antioxidants have been evaluated. Despite promising results in preclinical studies, clinical translation of antioxidants as a therapy to treat neurodegenerative diseases remains elusive. The issues could be their low bioavailability, instability, limited transport to the target tissue, and/or poor antioxidant capacity, requiring repeated and high dosing, which cannot be administered to humans because of dose-limiting toxicity. Our laboratory is investigating nanoparticle-mediated delivery of antioxidant enzymes to address some of the above issues. Apart from being endogenous, the main advantage of antioxidant enzymes is their catalytic mechanism of action; hence, they are significantly more effective at lower doses in detoxifying the deleterious effects of free radicals than nonenzymatic antioxidants. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential of antioxidant therapy, challenges in their clinical translation, and the role nanoparticles/drug delivery systems could play in addressing these challenges.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in early diagnosis and treatment, cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapy for the treatment of many diseases, including cancer. This therapy uses a combination of a photosensitizer (PS), light irradiation of appropriate length and molecular oxygen. The photodynamic effect kills cancer cells through apoptosis, necrosis, or autophagy of tumor cells. PDT is a promising approach for eliminating various cancers but is not yet as widely applied in therapy as conventional chemotherapy. Currently, natural compounds with photosensitizing properties are being discovered and identified. A reduced toxicity to healthy tissues and a lower incidence of side effects inspires scientists to seek natural PS for PDT. In this review, several groups of compounds with photoactive properties are presented. The use of natural products has been shown to be a fruitful approach in the discovery of novel pharmaceuticals. This review focused on the anticancer activity of furanocoumarins, polyacetylenes, thiophenes, tolyporphins, curcumins, alkaloid and anthraquinones in relation to the light-absorbing properties. Attention will be paid to their phototoxic and anti-cancer effects on various types of cancer.

Abstract
Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or photoredox catalysis, but how do electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis compare? Both approaches provide access to high energy intermediates (e.g., radicals) that enable bond formations not constrained by the rules of ionic or 2 electron (e) mechanisms. Instead, they enable 1e mechanisms capable of bypassing electronic or steric limitations and protecting group requirements, thus enabling synthetic chemists to disconnect molecules in new and different ways. However, while providing access to similar intermediates, electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis differ in several physical chemistry principles. Understanding those differences can be key to designing new transformations and forging new bond disconnections. This review aims to highlight these differences and similarities between electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis by comparing their underlying physical chemistry principles and describing their impact on electrochemical and photochemical methods.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive oxidants that are typically generated by the irradiation of semiconducting materials with visible or UV light and are widely used for the photocatalytic degradation of toxic substances, photodynamic therapy, and selective organic transformations. In this context, TiO2 is considered to be among the most promising photocatalysts due to its high redox activity, structural stability, and natural abundance. In view of the extensive development of highly active photocatalysts, we herein briefly introduce TiO2 and the mechanisms of TiO2-mediated ROS generation, subsequently focusing on key advances in the design and synthesis of Ti-containing porous materials, such as porous TiO2, Ti-based metal-organic frameworks, and Ti-based metal-organic aerogels. In particular, this review highlights the significance of porosity and the structure-function relationship for the development of Ti-based photocatalysts. The structures, porosities, and ROS generation mechanisms of these materials as well as the related efficiencies of ROS-mediated photocatalytic organic transformations are discussed in detail to provide a useful reference for future researchers and to inspire the exploration of high-performance photocatalysts.

Abstract
Electrosynthesis is a popular, green alternative to traditional organic methods. Understanding the mechanisms is not trivial yet is necessary to optimize reaction processes. To this end, a multitude of analytical tools is available to identify and quantitate reaction products and intermediates. The first portion of this review serves as a guide that underscores electrosynthesis fundamentals, including instrumentation, electrode selection, impacts of electrolyte and solvent, cell configuration, and methods of electrosynthesis. Next, the broad base of analytical techniques that aid in mechanism elucidation are covered in detail. These methods are divided into electrochemical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, microscopic, and computational. Technique selection is dependent on predicted reaction pathways and electrogenerated intermediates. Often, a combination of techniques must be utilized to ensure accuracy of the proposed model. To conclude, future prospects that aim to enhance the field are discussed.

Abstract
La1−xSrxCoO3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) nanoparticles were prepared by spray‐flame synthesis and applied in the liquid‐phase oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular O2 as oxidant under mild conditions. The catalysts were systematically characterized by state‐of‐the‐art techniques. With increasing Sr content, the concentration of surface oxygen vacancy defects increases, which is beneficial for cyclohexene oxidation, but the surface concentration of less active Co2+ was also increased. However, Co2+ cations have a superior activity towards peroxide decomposition, which also plays an important role in cyclohexene oxidation. A Sr doping of 20 at. % was found to be the optimum in terms of activity and product selectivity. The catalyst also showed excellent reusability over three catalytic runs; this can be attributed to its highly stable particle size and morphology. Kinetic investigations revealed first‐order reaction kinetics for temperatures between 60 and 100 °C and an apparent activation energy of 68 kJ mol−1 for cyclohexene oxidation. Moreover, the reaction was not affected by the applied O2 pressure in the range from 10 to 20 bar. In situ attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor the conversion of cyclohexene and the formation of reaction products including the key intermediate cyclohex‐2‐ene‐1‐hydroperoxide; spin trap electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy provided strong evidence for a radical reaction pathway by identifying the cyclohexenyl alkoxyl radical.

Abstract
Degradation of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), an emerging micropollutant, by photo/Fe3+/sulfite process was investigated under different operational conditions and water matrices. 91% of TBBPA was efficiently degraded within 30 min in the Fe3+/sulfite system under sunlight irradiation when the initial pH was 6.0, which is much higher than that of TBBPA without irradiation (52%). The acceleration of radical generation and direct photolysis by photo irradiation were responsible for the enhanced TBBPA degradation. Although this process showed better performance on TBBPA degradation in weak acid conditions, the high removal efficiency was also achieved at near-neutral pH. HO, SO4- and direct photolysis contributed to TBBPA degradation. Direct photolysis and SO4- presented the dominant contribution. The degradation rate increased with elevating the Fe3+ dose (10-40 μM), but slightly decreased when the Fe3+ dose was further raised to 100 μM. Similarly, the degradation efficiency initially increased with increasing the sulfite dose (100-400 μM), but decreased when the sulfite concentration reached 1000 μM. Dissolved oxygen played a crucial role in TBBPA degradation, the presence of water matrices such as humic acid (0.8-4.0 mg/L), bicarbonate (0.5-10 mM) and chloride (0.5-10 mM) retarded TBBPA degradation. This study proposed a new efficient strategy to enhance TBBPA degradation in the Fe3+/sulfite process.
