The main compositions of pipe deposits from water distribution networks are potential iron resources, which can be used as catalysts to activate the combined hydrogen peroxide (HP) and peroxymonosulphate (PMS) system to produce reactive oxidative species (ROSs) to degrade pollutants. As a result, the degradation efficiency of chloramphenicol (CAP) in the HP/PMS dual-oxidant system could reach as high as 75.21% within 100 min with hydroxylamine (HA) assistance, and the dual-oxidant method had a wide pH applied range. To explore the mechanism of the dual-oxidant system in detail, several main affecting factors were investigated. In addition, the hydroxyl radical(•OH) was identified as the predominant radicals by Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and the Radical scavenger test (RST). According to the competition kinetics experiment, the reaction rate of CAP with •OH was 1.933(± 0.052) × 10 Ms in the HP/PMS dual-oxidant system, which was higher than the HP single oxidant system (6.10(± 0.036) × 10 Ms). And the role of HA was explored , including reduction and competition. Six degradation products were detected by the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and their toxicity was analyzed by the ecological structure-activity relationship (ECOSAR) predictive model. These findings further provide a theoretical basis for the practical application of pipe deposits and advance the development of in-situ removal of pollutants in water distribution networks in the future promisingly.

This study evaluates the combined use of H₂O₂ and thermally activated S₂O₈⁻ (T-PDS) for the degradation of phenolic compounds (PhOH) in wastewater, aiming to limit or eliminate sludge production. Phenolic compounds are common in industrial effluents, and their effective removal is crucial for reducing environmental impact. The study employs Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to optimise critical variables such as temperature, pH, and oxidant concentrations.

2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is one of the high-energy oxidants, but has limited application due to its high sensitivity. In this work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was used as a co-oxidizer, which is expected to increase the safety of CL-20. One kind of novel graphene-based carbohydrazide complex (GCCo and GCNi) was employed to modify the properties of dual-oxidant CL-20@PVDF composites by the spray drying method and compared with traditional nanocarbon materials (CNTs and GO).

This study explored pre-adsorption and sequential injection of dual oxidant (DuOx) of persulfate (PS) and calcium peroxide (CP) for phenol degradation in an aqueous solution. Ball-milled activated carbon (AC) was used as the catalyst in the following systems: pre-adsorption and sequential injection of PS and CP (AC + PS + CP), pre-adsorption and simultaneous injection of PS and CP (AC + PS/CP), simultaneous injection of AC, PS, and CP (AC/PS/CP), simultaneous injection of AC and PS (AC/PS), and simultaneous injection of AC and CP (AC/CP). The AC had a larger specific surface area, more graphitic structures, and more defects.
