TL;DR: In this article, N/B co-doped biochars were employed as metal-free activators of peroxydisulfate (PDS) for tetracycline degradation, more importantly, the roles of dopants and relative contribution of radical vs nonradical oxidations were comprehensively investigated.

TL;DR: Nitrate supplement but not over supplement, or addition of molybdate are suggested as alternative strategies for better remediation in the nitrate-deficient and sulfur-accumulated soil ecosystem contaminated by PCP, through regulating the growth of core functional groups and thereby coordinating the interaction between dechlorination and its coupled soil redox processes due to shifts of more available electrons to de chlorination.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between dechlorination and methanogenesis, as well as the performance of methanogens involved in reductive dechlorification, through the use of meta-analysis, incubation experiment, untargeted metabolomic analysis, and thermodynamic modeling approaches.

TL;DR: Reductive dechlorination is the most efficient way for depletion of chlorinated organic pollutants (COPs) in anaerobic environment, where the methanogenesis is usually mass-produced.

TL;DR: In this article, a synchronous facilitation of γ-HCH reduction and CH4 cumulation was demonstrated under four degressive cathode potential settings (from −0.15V to − 0.30V) to regulate γhexachlorocyclohexane reduction while CH4 emissions were inhibited.
