As the industry gradually enters the stage of unmanned and intelligent, factories in the future need to realize intelligent monitoring and diagnosis and maintenance of parts and components. In order to achieve this goal, it is first necessary to accurately identify and classify the parts in the factory. However, the existing literature rarely studies the classification and identification of parts of the entire factory.

Sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been successfully used in wastewater treatment, such as that containing antibiotics, pesticides, and persistent organic pollutants, for refractory contaminant degradation. This review summarizes activation methods, including physical, chemical, and other coupling approaches, for efficient generation of sulfate radicals and evaluates their applications and economic feasibility.

By the end of 2019, 5476 municipal wastewater treatment plants were operating in China, leading to an annual sludge productivity of 39.04 million tons (80% water content).

Experimental results showed that SO oxidation effectively disintegrated the polymeric EPS and led to a more significant reduction in the water content for HPO-WAS than for HPI-WAS (12.87-15.

Overall, proteins exhibited a relatively high adsorption capacity for the three metals ions, followed by humic acid, whereas least for polysaccharides. The adsorption of Cu and Cd onto proteins, humic acid and polysaccharides fit well to the Freundlich isotherm, whereas Langmuir model was the best fit for Zn bindings onto polysaccharides/humic acid.
