Abstract
As promising alternatives for natural enzymes, much attention has been paid to nanozymes. And our recent study showed that the medium acid sites on the support are the active sites for the adsorption and oxidation of the substrate. Thus, in this work, due to the abundance of medium acid sites, Al2O3 was chosen as the support to prepare Pt/Al2O3 nanozymes. Through the Pt/Al2O3 samples, we further proved that the distribution of the Pt clusters and the amount of the medium acid sites can significantly influence the peroxidase-like activity. Then the Pt/Al2O3 sample was used for the detection of glucose. And as low as 0.96 μM glucose could be detected with a linear range from 5-60 μM via our method. This work showed the great potential applications of the easily prepared Pt/Al2O3 samples in varieties of simple, robust, and easy-to-make analytical approaches in the future.

Abstract
Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for pollutant removal have attracted extensive interest, but some controversies about the identification of reactive species were usually observed. This critical review aims to comprehensively introduce basic concepts and rectify cognitive biases and appeals to pay more attention to experimental details in PS-AOPs, so as to accurately explore reaction mechanisms. The review scientifically summarizes the character, generation, and identification of different reactive species. It then highlights the complexities about the analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance, the uncertainties about the use of probes and scavengers, and the necessities about the determination of scavenger concentration. The importance of the choice of buffer solution, operating mode, terminator, and filter membrane is also emphasized. Finally, we discuss current challenges and future perspectives to alleviate the misinterpretations toward reactive species and reaction mechanisms in PS-AOPs.

Abstract
In this study, a really simple and efficient catalytic protocol for the construction of quinazolines from alcohol and diamine has been developed based on CuCoAl layered double hydroxide (CuCoAl-LDH). The developed CuCoAl-LDH catalyst could accelerate the cascade reactions without any additives and tolerate various alcohols with satisfactory yields. Cooperation between the Cu+ and Cu2+ species in CuCoAl-LDH was observed in the cascade reaction, and they are believed to be responsible for the oxidation of alcohol and dehydrogenation of the intermediate, respectively. The promoting effect of the substrate diamine was observed in the oxidation of alcohol, which simplifies the reaction system by eliminating the requirement for a base additive. The catalytic system exhibited highly practical potential for the synthesis of quinazolines, as demonstrated through recyclability investigations and scale-up experiments. A possible catalytic mechanism has been proposed based on a series of control experiments and EPR analysis.

Abstract
The application of microwave/peroxymonosulfate (MW/PMS) in soil remediation has been limited by some shortages including low utilization efficiency of oxidants, low MW absorption capacity of soil particles and incomplete degradation of intermediate. In this study, heating pad waste (HPW) was added in the MW/PMS system to increase the ability of absorbing MW and degradation efficiency of toxic intermediate. A two-stage method for degradation of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and its intermediate 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) by MW/PMS assisted with HPW was proposed. In the first stage, more than 90% of CPF was degraded within 15 min before the addition of HPW, and most of the CPF was converted into TCP through direct or indirect pathways under the action of 1O2. In the second stage, more than 70% of the generated TCP was rapidly degraded through SO4•- oxidation and electron transfer. The TCP was further degraded with the assistance of HPW through methylation, hydroxylation and dechlorination etc., and the toxicity of degradation products was decreased significantly. pH and soil organic matter had little influences on CPF and TCP degradation. Therefore, a new strategy for remediation of CPF contaminated-soil was provided based on MW/PMS technology and the concept of "treating waste with waste".

Abstract
The activation ways of persulfate (PS) were dominate for pollutant degradation and energy consumption. For the first time, this research compared electro-activated PS and heat-activated PS from the perspective of isotope fractionation, in order to "fingerprinted" and precisely interpretate reaction contributions and degradation pathways. As results, PS can be electrochemically activated with atrazine (ATZ) removal rates of 84.8% and 88.8% at pH 4 and 7. The two-dimensional isotope plots (ɅC/H) values were 6.20 at pH 4 and 7.46 at pH 7, rather different from that of SO4·- -dominated process with ɅC/H value of -4.80 at pH 4 and -23.0 at pH 7, suggesting the weak contribution of SO4·-. ATZ degradation by electro-activated PS was controlled by direct electron transfer (DET) and ·OH radical, and ·OHPS (derived from PS activation) played the crucial role with contributing rate of 63.2%-69.1%, while DET and ·OHBDD (derived from electrolysis of H2O) contributed to 4.5-7.9% and 23.0%-30.8%, respectively. This was different from heat activation of PS, of which the latter was dominated by SO4·- with contributions of 83.9%-100%. The discrepant dominating reactive oxygen species should be responsible for their different degradation capabilities and pathways. This research provided isotopic interpretations for differences of PS activation mode, and further efforts can be made to realize the selective degradation by enhancing the specific reaction process.

Abstract
The combined reductive and oxidative reaction is the essence of a solar-driven photoredox system. Unfortunately, most of these efforts focus on the specific half-reactions, and the key roles of complete photoredox reactions have been overlooked. Taking the nitrate reduction reaction (NO3-RR) as a typical multiple-electrons involved process, the selective reduction of the NO3- into ammonia (NH3) synthesis with high efficiency is still a grand challenge. Herein, a rational oxidative half-reaction is tailored to achieve the selective conversion of NO3- to NH3 on Cu-O-Ti active sites. Through the coupled NO3-RR with glycol oxidation reaction system, a superior NH3 photosynthesis rate of 16.04 ± 0.40 mmol gcat-1 h-1 with NO3- conversion ratio of 100% and almost 100% of NH3 selectivity is reached on Cu-O-Ti bimetallic oxide cluster-anchored TiO2 nanosheets (CuOx@TNS) catalyst. A combination of comprehensive in situ characterizations and theoretical calculations reveals the molecular mechanism of the synergistic interaction between NO3-RR and glycol oxidation pair on CuOx@TNS. The introduction of glycol accelerates the h+ consumption for the formation of alkoxy (•R) radicals to avoid the production of •OH radicals. The construction of Cu-O-Ti sites facilitates the preferential oxidation of glycol with h+ and enhances the production of e- to participate in NO3-RR. The efficiency and selectivity of NO3--to-NH3 synthesis are thus highly promoted on Cu-O-Ti active sites with the accelerated glycol oxidative half-reaction. This work upgrades the conventional half photocatalysis into a complete photoredox system, demonstrating the tremendous potential for the precise regulation of reaction pathway and product selectivity.

Abstract
An all-in-one therapy for cooperatively fighting cancer, infection and boosting wound repair is exceedingly demanded for patients with advanced superficial cancers or after surgical intervention to avoid multiple drug abuse and resultant adverse effects. Here, the ultrasound-activated nanosonosensitizer PHMP that integrated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) into the Pd-catalyzed hydrogenated mesoporous titanium dioxide (PHM) was dexterously designed for combined therapy of cancer and infected wound based on oxygen/sulfate dual-radical nanotherapy. Firstly, the PHM with single crystal structure and abundant oxygen deficiencies exhibited excellent ultrasound-excited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT) under the support of Pd nanozyme-mediated O2 supply. Simultaneously, the physically targeted ultrasound irradiation effectively transformed PMS loaded in the hollow cavities into distinct sulfate radical (•SO4-) with longer half-life and stronger oxidation, which remarkably enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of PHM-mediated SDT for cancer and bacteria. In addition, by embedding PHMP into the hydrogel, the enrichment of PHMP in the focal site was guaranteed, and meanwhile a moist and ventilated environment was created to speed up wound repair. The study broadens the potential of •SO4- in the therapeutic fields and contributes a simple and appealing tactic for the comprehensive treatment of cancer, infection and wound repair.

Abstract
Trace Cu(II), which inherently exists in soil and some water/wastewater, can trigger persulfate oxidation of some pollutants, but the oxidation capability and mechanism are not well understood, especially toward refractory pollutants. We report in this research that benzothiazole (BTH), a universal refractory pollutant typically originating from tire leachates and various industrial wastewater, can be facilely and selectively removed by peroxydisulfate (PDS) with an equimolar BTH/PDS stoichiometry in the presence of environmental-relevant contents of Cu(II) (below several micromoles). Comprehensive scavenging tests, electron spin resonance analysis, spectroscopy characterization, and electrochemical analysis, revealed that PDS first reduces the BTH-coordinated Cu(II) to Cu(I) and then oxidizes Cu(I) to high-valent Cu(III), which accounts for the BTH degradation. Moreover, once the reaction is initiated, the superoxide radical is probably produced in the presence of dissolved oxygen, which subsequently dominates the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I). This facile oxidation process is also effective in removing a series of BTH derivatives (BTHs) that are of environmental concern, thus can be used for their source control. The results highlight the sequential Cu(II)-Cu(I)-Cu(III) transition during PDS activation and the crucial role of contaminant coordination with Cu(II) in oxidative transformation.

Abstract
Oxidation of renewable polyol/sugar into formic acid using molecular O2 over heterogeneous catalysts is still challenging due to the insufficient activation of both O2 and organic substrates on coordination-saturated metal oxides. In this study, we develop a defective MnO2 catalyst through a coordination number reduction strategy to enhance the aerobic oxidation of various polyols/sugars to formic acid. Compared to common MnO2, the tri-coordinated Mn in the defective MnO2 catalyst displays the electronic reconstruction of surface oxygen charge state and rich surface oxygen vacancies. These oxygen vacancies create more Mnδ+ Lewis acid site together with nearby oxygen as Lewis base sites. This combined structure behaves much like Frustrated Lewis pairs, serving to facilitate the activation of O2, as well as C-C and C-H bonds. As a result, the defective MnO2 catalyst shows high catalytic activity (turnover frequency: 113.5 h-1) and formic acid yield (>80%) comparable to noble metal catalysts for glycerol oxidation. The catalytic system is further extended to the oxidation of other polyols/sugars to formic acid with excellent catalytic performance.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) as a trace contaminant has been reported, due to widespread use in the plastics industry. This study applied the 35 kHz ultrasound (US) to activate four different common oxidants (H2O2, HSO5-, S2O82-, and IO4-) for BPA degradation. With increasing initial concentration of oxidants, the degradation rate of BPA increased. The synergy index confirmed that a synergistic relationship between US and oxidants. This study also examined the impact of pH and temperature. The results showed that the kinetic constants of US, US-H2O2, US-HSO5- and US-IO4-decreased when the pH increased from 6 to 11. The optimal pH for US-S2O82- was 8. Notably, increasing temperature decreased the performance of US, US-H2O2, and US-IO4- systems, while it could increase the degradation of BPA in US-S2O82- and US-HSO5-. The activation energy for BPA decomposition using the US-IO4- system was the lowest, at 0.453nullkJnullmol-1, and the synergy index was the highest at 2.22. Additionally, the ΔG# value was found to be 2.11 + 0.29T when the temperature ranged from 25 °C to 45 °C. The main oxidation contribution is achieved by hydroxyl radicals in scavenger test. The mechanism of activation of US-oxidant is heat and electron transfer. In the case of the US-IO4- system, the economic analysis yielded 271 kwh m-3, which was approximately 2.4 times lower than that of the US process.

Selective degradation of organic micropollutants by activation of peroxymonosulfate by Se@NC: Role of Se doping and nonradical pathway mechanism. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 452:131202. [PMID: 36934627 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
In this study, Se@NC-x decorated with Se was successfully prepared via two-step calcination with zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) as a precursor. Mechanistic studies show that PMS would be adsorbed onto the surface of Se@NC-900 to form an active complex (Se@NC-900/PMS*), and the active Se@NC-900/PMS* could oxidize phenol by the rapid decomposition of PMS. Specifically, electrons are extracted by Se@NC-900/PMS* and then transferred to the surface of Se@NC-900, which can trigger the degradation of phenol. Notably, it is found that the local charge redistribution caused by the doping of Se can activate the catalytic potential of the intrinsically inert carbon skeleton through density flooding theory (DFT) calculations. The XLogP, ΔE, VIP, and ELUMO (Se@NC/PMS)-HOMO (pollutants) and degradation rate constants of different micropollutants were correlated well linearly. This indicates that the Se@NC-900/PMS system has a great selectivity for the degradation of pollutants. Overall, these findings not only illustrate the role of Se in tuning the electronic structure of Se@NC-x to enhance the activation of PMS, but also bridge the gap in our knowledge about the physicochemical properties and degradation performance of Se@NC catalysts.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 235:119829. [PMID: 36958219 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Advanced oxidation/reduction of PFAS is challenged and concerned by the formation of toxic, short-chain intermediates during water treatments. In this study, we investigated the complete defluorination of PFOA by ultrasound/persulfate (US/PS) with harmless end-products of CO2, H2O, and F‒ ions. We observed 100% defluorination after 4 h of US treatment alone with a power input of 900 W. PS addition, however, suppressed defluorination. We demonstrated by kinetics-fitted Langmuir-type adsorption modeling, the added PS increased competition with PFOA for adsorption sites on the bubble-water interface where radical oxidation and pyrolysis may occur. Providing sulfate (SO4•-) and hydroxyl (•OH) radicals by means other than US did not defluorinate PFOA, indicating that pyrolysis likely contributes to the high defluorination performance. Bond dissociation energies for CC and CF were independent of pressure but decreased at elevated temperatures within cavitation bubbles (i.e., 5000 K) favoring the pyrolysis reactions. Furthermore, bond length calculations indicated that PFOA cleavage only begins to occur at temperatures in excess of those generated at the bubble interface (i.e., >1500 K) at the femtosecond level. This suggests that PFOA vaporizes or injects by nanodrops upon attachment to the cavitation bubble, enters the bubble, and is then cleaved within the bubble by pyrolysis. Our research in low-frequency ultrasonic horn system challenges the previous founding that defluorination of PFOA initiates and occurs at the bubble-water interface. We describe here that supplementing US-based processes with complementary treatments may have undesired effects on the efficacy of US. The mechanistic insights will further promote the implementation of US technology for PFAS treatment in achieving the zero fluoro-pollution goal.

Abstract
Peroxydisulfate (PDS) based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used for the degradation of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCP) in wastewater treatment. In this study, a Fe-doped g-C3N5 (Fe@g-C3N5) was synthesized as a photocatalyst for catalyzing the PDS-based AOPs to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) at pH 3 and Naproxen (NPX) at pH 7. The photocatalytic performance of Fe@g-C3N5 was 19% and 67% higher than g-C3N5 and g-C3N4 for degradation of TH at pH 3, respectively, while it was 21% and 35% at pH 7. The Fe:N ratio in Fe@g-C3N5, was calculated as 1:3.79, indicating that the doped Fe atom formed a FeN4 structure with an adjacent two-layer graphite structure of g-C3N5, which improved the charge separation capacity of g-C3N5 and act as a new reaction center that can efficiently combine and catalyze the PDS to radicals. Although the intrinsic photo-degradation performance is weak, the photocatalytic performance of Fe@g-C3N5 has great room for the improvement and application in wastewater treatment.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 865:161201. [PMID: 36581269 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Persulfate (PS) is widely used as an in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technology for groundwater and soil remediation. While conventional theory generally assumes that PS needs to be "activated" to produce reactive radicals for pollutant degradation, herein, PS without explicit activation system was discovered for the degradation of 1,2,3-TCP with the generation of reactive oxidation species (ROS). Comparison of five common ISCO oxidants (PS, peroxymonosulfate, hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, and sodium percarbonate) indicated that only unactivated PS was able to degrade 1,2,3-TCP in both pure water and 12 natural water samples. 50 μM 1,2,3-TCP degradation can be continued as long as there is enough PS (50 mM). The degradation rate of 1,2,3-TCP increased 450 % when the PS concentration increased from 10 mM to 50 mM and 500 % when the temperature increased from 25 °C to 45 °C. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyzes, hydroxyl radicals (·OH) probe reaction and radical quenching experiments confirmed the involvement of both sulfate radicals (SO4·-) and ·OH that were responsible for 1,2,3-TCP degradation and ·OH played a more important role. HCO3-, Cl- and NOM are three groundwater matrix species that are most likely to inhibit PS oxidation of 1,2,3-TCP. Compared to activated PS, unactivated PS is more promising and more practical for groundwater remediation, since it has several advantages: (1) longer lifetime and better long-term availability; (2) ability of enduring contaminant degradation; (3) applicable for low-permeability zones remediation and potential to alleviate contaminant rebound or tailing problems; (4) environmental friendly; and (5) lower cost. Overall, results of this study show that unactivated PS is a promising in situ remediation technology that may be a good candidate for the most challenging low permeable zone remediation.

Abstract
Oil fractions containing highly toxic and hazardous organic contaminants can not only cause severe environmental disasters, but also an undesired waste of resources. Given the exceptional performance of persulfates in the removal of persistent and refractory organic pollutants from aqueous media, herein, a peroxymonosulfate-based Pickering emulsion catalytic (PPEC) system was constructed for the hazardous oil purification, using super-amphiphilic graphene as a solid emulsifier and a heterogeneous catalyst simultaneously. Combined detailed instrumental analysis with theoretical calculations, we find that the incorporation of pyridinic N and its oxide significantly facilitated the formation of super-amphiphilic graphene and successfully induced the formation of Pickering emulsion. In addition to stabilizing the PPEC system, super-amphiphilic graphene can also achieve efficient removal of Sudan III (simulated lipophilic organic pollutant) by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate •O2- and 1O2. Results showed that 80 mg/L Sudan III (20 mL) could be fully degraded within 30 min using 10 mL 5 mmol PMS. More significantly, our proposed PPEC system also exhibited excellent property in the purification of practical waste engine oil. This study provides new insights into the purification and recovery of waste oil.

Abstract
The selective CH bond oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbon is an interesting but challenging task, it is desirable to develop efficient heterogeneous non-noble metal catalyst for this reaction. Herein, two kinds of spinel (FeCoNiCrMn)3O4 high entropy oxides were fabricated via two different methods (i.e., c-FeCoNiCrMn, prepared by a co-precipitation method, and m-FeCoNiCrMn, prepared by physically mixing method). Different from traditional environmentally-unfriendly Co/Mn/Br system, the prepared catalysts were employed for the selective CH bond oxidation of p-chlorotoluene to p-chlorobenzaldehyde in a green approach. Compared to m-FeCoNiCrMn, c-FeCoNiCrMn have smaller particles size and larger specific surface area, which were related to the enhanced catalytic activity. More importantly, characterization results disclosed that abundant oxygen vacancies were formed over c-FeCoNiCrMn. Such a result facilitated the adsorption of p-chlorotoluene on the catalyst surface and promoted the formation of *ClPhCH2O intermediate as well as the desired p-chlorobenzaldehyde, as revealed by DFT (Density functional theory) calculations. Besides, scavenger tests and EPR (Electron paramagnetic resonance) results indicated that hydroxyl radical derived from H2O2 homolysis was the main active oxidative species for this reaction. This work revealed the role of oxygen vacancy in spinel high entropy oxide and also demonstrated its promising application for the selective CH bond oxidation in an environmentally-benign approach.

Low-temperature persulfate activation by powdered activated carbon for simultaneous destruction of perfluorinated carboxylic acids and 1,4-dioxane. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 442:129966.

Abstract
Carbonaceous materials have emerged as a method of persulfate activation for remediation. In this study, persulfate activation using powdered activated carbon (PAC) was demonstrated at temperatures relevant to groundwater (5-25 °C). At room temperature, increasing doses of PAC (1-20 g L-1) led to increased persulfate activation (3.06 × 10-6s-1 to 2.10 × 10-4 with 1 and 20 g L-1 PAC). Activation slowed at lower temperatures (5 and 11 °C); however, substantial (>70 %) persulfate activation was achieved. PAC characterization showed that persulfate is activated at the surface of the PAC, as indicated by an increase in the PAC C:O ratio. Similarly, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy studies with a spin trapping agents (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO)) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMP) revealed that singlet oxygen was not the main oxidizing species in the reaction. DMPO was oxidized to form 5,5-dimethylpyrrolidone-2(2)-oxyl-(1) (DMPOX), which forms in the presence of strong oxidizers, such as sulfate radicals. The persulfate/PAC system is demonstrated to simultaneously degrade both perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and 1,4-dioxane at room temperature and 11 °C. With a 20 g L-1 PAC and 75 mM persulfate, 80 % and 70 % of the PFOA and 1,4-dioxane, respectively, degraded within 6 h at room temperature. At 11 °C, the same PAC and persulfate doses led to 57% dioxane degradation and 54 % PFOA degradation within 6 h. Coupling PAC with persulfate offers an effective, low-cost treatment for simultaneous destruction of 1,4-dioxane and PFOA.

Abstract
In this work, the different selectivity of SO4•- and •OH towards municipal solid waste incineration leachates (MSWILs) was studied by a comparative study of UV/persulfate (PS) and UV/H2O2. Results showed SO4•- preferentially mineralized carbon atoms of higher average oxidation state, while •OH showed a two-stage mechanism of partial oxidation and mineralization successively. Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis showed SO4•- had superior selectivity towards MSWILs than •OH, and Fe(II) would significantly affect the selectivity via forming Fe-MSWILs complex. As the consequence, Fe(II) showed slightly negative effect on UV/PS, but greatly enhanced the performance of UV/H2O2/Fe(II). High concentration of Cl- affected the degradation of non-fluorescent substances by UV/PS, while SO42- and NO3- showed no effect. In contrast, anions showed no effect on UV/H2O2. In addition, •OH preferentially attacked large molecules, but SO4•- showed no selectivity. This study further revealed the selectivity of SO4•- and •OH in the treatment of hypersaline wastewater, and provided theoretical support for the development of targeted technology.

Abstract
Pyrolysis of pharmaceutical sludge (PS) is a promising way of safe disposal and to recover energy and resources from waste. The resulting PS biochar (PSBC) is often used as adsorbent, but has seldom been explored as catalyst. Herein we demonstrate that PSBC (0.4 g/L) could efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to 100% degrade 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) with rate constants of 0.42-1.70 min-1, outperforming other reported catalysts. Interestingly, the PMS activation pathway highly depended on PSBC pyrolysis temperature, which produced dominantly high-valent iron species (e.g., FeIVO2+) at low temperature but more sulfate radical (SO4·-) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) at higher temperature, e.g., 0.17, 0.23, 0.12 mmol/L of FeIVO2+ and 0.009, 0.038, 0.102 mmol/L of SO4·-/·OH were produced within 10 min by PSBC-600/PMS, PSBC-800/PMS, and PSBC-1000/PMS, respectively. Characterization, density functional theory (DFT) simulation and Pearson correlation analysis revealed that along with the increase of pyrolysis temperatures, the active sites of PSBC gradually shifted from atomically dispersed N-coordinated Fe moieties (FeNx) to iron nitrides (FexN), which activated PMS to produce FeIVO2+ and SO4·-/·OH, respectively. This study clarifies the structure-activity relationships of PSBC for PMS activation, and opens a new avenue for the treatment and utilization of PS as high value-added resources.

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.
