Abstract
The advanced persulfate oxidation technology has shown great potential in the efficient degradation of organic pollutants in water body, owing to its strong oxidation ability, easy operation and many other advantages. At present, the development of this technology focuses on the choice of activation mode of persulfate, and its essence lies in the cleavage of O-O bond in persulfate. Iron-based catalysts have been widely used in persulfate activation because of their advantages such as earth abundance, eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness. In this paper, the methods and research progress of activating persulfate by iron-based materials (including nanometer zero-valent iron, common zero-valent iron, nanometer iron tetroxide) are reviewed. Finally, the existing problems and development direction of persulfate advanced oxidation technology in the current application are analyzed, in order to promote the development of related research work.
