TL;DR: This study elucidates the mechanism behind persulfate activation by exploring the role of various oxyanions in two activation systems utilizing iron nanoparticle (nFe0) as the reducing agent and single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electron transfer mediators.

TL;DR: Nanosized zerovalent iron loaded with a secondary metal such as Ni or Cu on its surface was demonstrated to effectively activate periodate (IO4-) and degrade selected organic compounds at neutral pH, implying the selective nature of oxidant in the nFe0-Ni(or Cu)/IO4- system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the roles of sulfate radicals (SO4 −) and peroxydisulfate (PDS) formed from SO42− in electrochemical organic oxidation on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode were scrutinized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first instance of visible-light-induced activation of periodate (IO4−) into reactive iodine radicals via sensitized electron transfer from an organic dye, Rhodamine B (RhB), which not only leads to oxidative decolorization of RhB but also formation of reactive intermediates that degrade organic compounds.

TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of various inorganic oxidants (IO4−, HSO5−, S2O82 −, H2O2, and BrO3−) to act as alternative electron acceptors for WO3-mediated photocatalytic oxidation was evaluated.
