Article Synopsis
- Fenton-like processes utilizing persulfate for water treatment can be improved by adding redox-active biochar, which helps convert Fe(III) to Fe(II) and increases reactive species that can break down contaminants.
- Research found inconsistent data regarding the formation of reactive species in the biochar/Fe(III)/persulfate system, which complicates assessments of treatment effectiveness across different water types.
- Through experiments, findings suggest that sulfate radicals are the primary reactive species in pure water, while the presence of organic matter and varying chloride levels can alter the dominant reactive species and enhance contaminant degradation.
