Iron-based PAA activation process is a promising advanced oxidation process for water decontamination which depends on Fe(II) as the main reactive site for PAA activation, resulting in various reactive oxidative species (ROSs) generation. For practical application, the impact of water matrix chloride ion (Cl) on ROSs production and contaminants removal should be carefully considered. In this study, it's found that the introduction of Cl (0.

In this study, the magnetic and porous regenerated cellulose/carbon nanotubes/FeO nanoparticles (RC/CNTs/FeO NPs) composites were synthesized for activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) in a green alkaline-urea system. The RC/CNTs/FeO NPs-PDS system achieved 100% removal of bisphenol A compared with CNTs (~64.
