In a previous study, we applied quantum chemical methods to study the reaction between sulfur dioxide (SO2) and the sulfate radical ion (SO4(-)) at atmospheric relevant conditions and found that the most likely reaction product is SO3SO3(-). In the current study, we investigate the chemical fate of SO3SO3(-) by reaction with ozone (O3) using first-principles molecular dynamics collision simulations. This method assesses both dynamic and steric effects in the reactions and therefore provides the most likely reaction pathways. We find that the majority of the collisions between SO3SO3(-) and O3 are nonsticking and that the most frequent reactive collisions regenerate sulfate radical ions and produce sulfur trioxide (SO3) while ejecting an oxygen molecule (O2). The rate of this reaction is determined to be 2.5 × 10(-10) cm(3) s(-1). We then conclude that SO4(-) is a highly efficient catalyst in the oxidation of SO2 by O3 to SO3.

The widespread existence of sulfapyridine (SPD, a typical representative of sulfonamide) in natural environment has raised increasing interest because its potential to cause antibiotic-resistant genes. In this work, the degradation of SPD during heat-activated peroxodisulfate (heat/PDS) oxidation process was explored. The pseudo-first-order rate constant () of SPD was 0.

In this study, we used meso-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) as an organic ligand to modify a lanthanide-based metal-organic framework as an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platform to sensitively detect anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). La-MOF amplified the ECL signal by suppressing the aggregation-caused quenching created by TCPP self-aggregation. Utilizing the reversible cycling of the mixed-valence transition metal ion (Cu/Cu and Mo/Mo) and the electrical conductivity of CuMoS and silver nanoparticle (AgNP), CuMoS-AgNP as a dual co-reaction promoter constantly generated sulfate radical anions (SO) and thus amplified the ECL signal.

Fluoride contamination is a serious environmental problem in lepidolite hydrometallurgy wastewater. The treatment of fluoride-bearing wastewater is challenging because of the presence of coexisting ions including lithium (Li), rubidium (Rb), silicate (SiO), sulfate radical (SO). However, aluminum-modified zeolite (Al@zeolite) with sufficient hydroxyl groups and high adaptability has unique advantages for eliminating fluoride from lepidolite hydrometallurgy wastewater.

This work describes the application of electrochemically produced Caro's acid in a divided electrochemical flow cell for the removal of fourteen CECs from real effluent at a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Ciudad Real, Spain. The results are compared with direct dosing of the reagent (with an ionic/molecular oxidant) and radical-assisted oxidation (activated sulfate radical via photochemical oxidation or hydrogen peroxide-induced radical oxidation). This study sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of these processes.
