Persulfate is considered a convenient and efficient remediation agent for organic contaminated soil. However, the potential risk of sulfur into the soil remediation by persulfate remains ignored. In this study, glass bottles with different persulfate dosages and groundwater tables were set up to simulate persulfate remediation of organic pollutants (aniline). The results found sulfate to be the main end-product (83.0%‒99.5%) of persulfate remediation after 10 days. Moreover, HS accounted for 93.4%‒99.4% of sulfur reduction end-products, suggesting that HS was the final fate of sulfur. HS was released rapidly after one to three days at a maximum concentration of 33.0 ppm, which is sufficient to make a person uncomfortable. According to the fitted curve results, HS concentration decreased to a safe concentration (0.15 ppm) after 20‒85 days. Meanwhile, the maximum concentration of methanethiol reached 0.6 ppm. These results indicated that secondary pollution from persulfate remediation could release harmful gases over a long time. Therefore, persulfate should be used more carefully as a remediation agent for soil contamination.

Electron mediator-based in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) offers a novel strategy for groundwater remediation due to diverse reaction pathways. However, distinguishing and further tuning the reaction pathway remains challenging. Herein, biochar as an electron mediator targeted active peroxysulphate (PDS) via the radical or non-radical pathway.

Carbon nanotubes-driven persulfates oxidation processes (CNTs/PS) have been extensively studied for environmental remediation. Solution pH is one of the main factors affecting wastewater treatment, but it is often overlooked. Herein, we report the effect laws of pH on the mechanism of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) or peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation by CNTs.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of using sodium persulfate (SD) and sodium lignosulfonate surfactant in thermally washing oily sludge to improve remediation methods.
- It evaluates the impact of various reaction conditions on the breakdown of different hydrocarbon types (saturated, aromatic, resins, and asphaltenes) in oily sludge.
- Results showed that while SD effectively degrades these hydrocarbons, sodium hydroxide acts as a catalyst, and lignosulfonate aids in the removal process by lowering the solution's surface tension.

Persulfates-based advanced oxidation processes are highly efficient in degrading refractory organic contaminants in wastewater. However, their practical application is often limited by the extensive consumption of catalysts and oxidants. Therefore, constructing catalysts with abundant and efficient reaction interfaces is essential for improving the efficiency of persulfate activation.

Combining chemical oxidation and adsorption is highly desirable but challenging to remove organoarsenic compounds for water purification. Herein, we prepared a Zn-doped CuO (CuZnO-2) catalyst by incorporating Zn atoms into the CuO lattice, which results in abundant surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) and modulates the electronic structure of Cu-OVs-Zn sites for PMS activation to degrade p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) and adsorb the secondary arsenic species simultaneously. The elevated d-band centers for Cu upward to the Fermi level can significantly strengthen the adsorption of PMS, p-ASA, and the generated arsenic species.
