Ferrous catalyzed persulfate oxidation of dissolved aniline was investigated in aqueous systems under a variety of ferrous ion concentrations and temperature. Result showed that the addition of ferrous ions accelerated the degradation of aniline by persulfate. For the thermally activated persulfate oxidation experiment, the optimum persulfate/aniline concentration ratio at 30˚C was at 5.4 mM or 20/1. This ratio gave the highest aniline removal of 45%. For the ferrous ion catalyzed persulfate oxidation experiment, there was marginal difference in the result for the various ferrous ion/oxidant molar ratios. Thus, another series of experiment was conducted to determine the optimum ratio and a ferrous ion/persulfate molar ratio of 1.25/1 showed the highest removal efficiency.

This study investigates the interaction of persulfate with soil components and chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), using thermally activated persulfate oxidation in three soil types: high sand content; high clay content; and paddy field soil. The effect of soil composition on the available oxidant demand and CVOC removal rate was evaluated. Results suggest that the treatment efficiency of CVOCs in soil can be ranked as follows: cis-1,2-dichloroethene > trichloroethylene > 1,2-dichloroethane > 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The reactions of soil components with persulfate, shown by the reduction in soil phase natural organics and mineral content, occurred in parallel with persulfate oxidation of CVOCs. Natural oxidant demand from the reaction of soil components with persulfate exerted a large relative contribution to the total oxidant demand. The main influencing factor in oxidant demand in paddy-soil-persulfate systems was natural organics, rather than mineral content as seen with sand and clay soil types exposed to the persulfate system. The competition between CVOCs and soil components for oxidation by persulfate indicates that soil composition exhibits a considerable influence on the available oxidant demand and CVOC removal efficiency. Therefore, soil composition of natural organics and mineral content is a critical factor in estimating the oxidation efficiency of in-situ remediation systems.

In situ chemical oxidation with persulfate (PS) anion (S2O82-) is a viable technique for remediation of groundwater contaminants such as trichloroethylene (TCE). This laboratory study investigated the use of the oxidant sodium PS for the chemical oxidation of TCE at different conditions to determine the influence of temperature, pH, and the PS/TCE molar ratio. Experiments revealed that higher temperatures, lower pH, and higher PS/TCE molar ratios were to the benefit of TCE oxidation by PS. By investigating the reaction kinetics, the degradations of contaminant can be described by use of pseudo-first-order reaction. At the temperatures ranging from 25°C to 40°C, the activation energy for the degradation of TCE was determined to be 85.04 KJ/mol.

The potential benefits of zero-valent iron-activated persulfate (Na2S2O8) oxidation in enhanced dewaterability of sludge, along with the associated mechanisms were investigated in this study. The sludge dewaterability was evaluated in terms of specific resistance to filtration (SRF) and water content. Based on these indexes, it was observed that ZVI-S2O82 oxidation effectively improved sludge dewaterability. The optimal conditions to give preferable dewaterability were found when the molar ratio of ZVI/S2O82− was 5:1 and pH value was 3.0. The most important mechanism was proposed to be the degradation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) incorporated in sludge flocs and rupture of microbial cells. Three-dimensional excitation–emission matrix fluorescence spectra revealed that the powerful SO4− and ·OH generated from ZVI-S2O82− system destroyed the particular functional groups of fluorescing substances (aromatic protein-like and tryptophan protein-like substances), resulting in the release of bound water and the subsequent enhancement of dewaterability. Therefore, ZVI/S2O82− oxidation is an alternative approach showing great potential to be applied in sludge treatment plants.
