TL;DR: In this paper, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) alone process was systematically demonstrated as nonradical processes for the first time and PMS direct oxidation was firstly verified by the combination of theoretical calculation and experimental detection as well, which were found to selectively degrade sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) with high efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used density functional theory (DFT) calculations and dual descriptor to provide insights into SMT degradation, which indicated that the central cleavages of SMT such as S−N, S−C, and N−C bonds or adducts on the rings would easily occur to degrade SMT in the US/PMS system.

TL;DR: It was proved that ultrasound significantly enhanced SMX ozonation by assisting ozone in producing more hydroxyl radicals in UOOP by assisting the cleavage of S-N bond.

TL;DR: In this paper, reductive graphene oxides (rGO) and heteroatoms (N and P) doped graphene oxide (NGO, PGO) were synthesized and firstly applied in catalytic ozonation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX).

TL;DR: The results indicated that the application of US can reduce reaction time and dose of ozone addition, and suggested that the reaction between MG and hydroxyl radical was substitution reaction rather than adduct reaction.

TL;DR: In this review paper, a variety of AOPs, such as Fenton or Fenton-like reaction, oz onation or catalytic ozonation, photocatalytic oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and ionizing radiation were briefly introduced, including their principles, characteristics, main influencing factors and applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the up-to-date research progresses of iron-mediated activation of persulfate and peroxymonosulfate mediated by these iron-based species in both homogeneous and heterogeneous ways are summarized and discussed.

TL;DR: Several key aspects of catalytic ozonation, such as pH effect, the catalyst performance, the catalytic mechanism were proposed, to which more attention should be paid in future study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performances of various Fe-based catalysts, including Fe0-derived, FeOOH-based, Fe2O3-derived and Fe3O4-derived composite, were briefly introduced.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of tetracycline (TC) by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activated with zero-valent iron (Fe0) was systematically studied through batches of experiments.
