The present study demonstrated that the combined use of the sonocatalytic reaction (using ultrasound and titanium dioxide) and the Fenton reaction exhibited synergistically enhanced hydroxyl (OH) radical generation. Dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) concentration as index of OH radical generation was 13 and 115 μM at 10 min in the sonocatalytic reaction and Fenton reaction, respectively. On the other hand, the DHBA concentration was 378 μM at 10 min in the sonocatalytic-Fenton reaction. The sonocatalytic-Fenton reaction was used for degradation of lignin. The lignin degradation ratio was 1.8%, 49.9%, and 60.0% at 180 min in the sonocatalytic reaction, Fenton reaction, and sonocatalytic-Fenton reaction, respectively. Moreover, the sonocatalytic-Fenton reaction was applied to pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass to enhance subsequent enzymatic saccharification. The cellulose saccharification ratio was 11%, 14%, 16% and 25% at 360 min of pretreatment by control reaction, the sonocatalytic reaction, Fenton reaction, and sonocatalytic-Fenton reaction, respectively.

With the widespread use of sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs), SAs are detected as residues in aquatic environments, posing a serious threat to human life and safety. Because of their high water solubility, fast transmission rate, and strong antibacterial properties, the safe disposal of SAs has become a key constraint for water quality assurance. Therefore, an ultrasound (US)-assisted zero-valent iron (ZVI)/persulfate (PS) system was proposed to explore the rapid and effective degradation of SAs.
