We investigated the oxidation of phenol by perborate-a newly proposed oxidant-in the presence of iron-bearing and carbonaceous materials through batch experiments. We hypothesized that the oxidation of phenol by perborate was enhanced due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of iron-bearing or carbonaceous materials. Zero-valent iron and ferrous iron (Fe) promoted the oxidation of phenol by perborate. Biochar, granular activated carbon, an anode carbonaceous material recovered from a spent Li-ion battery, and graphite also accelerated the oxidation of phenol by perborate. Quenching experiments with radical scavengers and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis revealed that hydroxyl (˙OH) and superoxide (O˙) radicals were generated and enhanced the degradation of phenol in the perborate systems. Singlet oxygen (O) was involved in the iron-bearing material-perborate systems. Moreover, we found that Persil®, a commercial perborate detergent, enhances the oxidation of phenol in the presence of iron-bearing and carbonaceous materials. Our results suggest that perborate can be used for advanced oxidation processes to remediate recalcitrant organic contaminants in natural environments and engineered systems.

A catalyst-free method for the hydroxylation of arylboronic acids to form the corresponding phenols with sodium perborate as the oxidant was developed using water as the solvent. Under the reaction conditions, the yield of phenol reached 92% at only 5 min. Moreover, the reaction could be conducted without a catalyst under the solvent-free condition, the efficiency of which was as high as that of a liquid-phase reaction.

It is attempted to augment a coating resin with a bleaching effect to provide both short- and long-term whitening effects. Base resin containing sodium percarbonate (SPC) effectively bleached bovine teeth discolored by the Maillard reaction. SPC did not reduce Vickers hardness, but hardness in the hybrid material increased.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of different intracoronal bleaching methods on the shear bond strengths (SBS) of orthodontic brackets.
Materials And Methods: Sixty freshly extracted mandibular incisors were randomly divided into four groups (n = 15 per group). After filling the root canals, root fillings were removed 2 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction, and a 2-mm-thick layer of zinc-phosphate cement base was applied.

The aim of this study was to evaluate alternative methods for the disinfection of toothbrushes considering that most of the previously proposed methods are expensive and cannot be easily implemented. Two-hundred toothbrushes with standardized dimensions and bristles were included in the study. The toothbrushes were divided into 20 experimental groups (n = 10), according to microorganism considered and chemical agent used.
