TL;DR: UV/PMS is a rapid and efficient method for removing trace-level SAs from drinking water and promoted SA decomposition more efficiently than UV photolysis or PMS oxidation alone.

TL;DR: The current work provides valuable insights into the appropriate selection and optimisation of biological processes for the treatment of typical wastewater with high COD and trace antibiotics.

TL;DR: Studies show that membrane filtration, advanced oxidation processes, biodegradation, thermal degradation, chemical reduction, and some hybrid processes are the potential DBP treatment technologies, which may facilitate their full-scale applications and provide potential directions for further research extension.

TL;DR: The generation of RMnS and radical species, especially SO4-, could be well explained by the proposed mechanism consisting of radical chain reactions and manganese reduction reactions via both electron transfer and oxygen transfer steps.

TL;DR: The recovered catalyst was highly effective for the oxidative pretreatment of a fine chemical wastewater to improve its biodegradability; the resulting COD removal and BOD(5)/COD ratio of the treated stream remained nearly unchanged during the time period when the regenerated catalyst was reused six times.
