Abstract. In this study, we developed nonmetal-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (N-F-TiO2) by a novel synthesis route employing a simple sol–gel method containing a nonionic fluorosurfactant as pore template material to tailor-design the structural properties of TiO2 and fluorine dopant as well as ethylenediamine as nitrogen source for the photocatalytic response towards visible light. The synthe…
Abstract. Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation technologies (SR-AOTs) are attracting considerable attention due to the high oxidizing ability of SRs to degrade organic pollutants in aqueous environments. This study was carried out to respond to current concerns and challenges in SR-AOTs, including (i) need of heterogeneous activation of sulfate salts using transition metal oxides, (ii) …
Abstract. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the environment pose long-term risk to public health because of their persistent and toxic nature. This study investigates the degradation of PCBs using sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs). These processes are based on the generation of sulfate radicals throughiron(Fe(II), Fe(III))mediated activationof peroxymonosulfate …
