TL;DR: It is suggested that naturally occurring manganese oxides play a significant role in the attenuation of bisphenols released into the environment and the presence of I- can display a great effect on their transformation.

TL;DR: In this article, the transformation of tetracycline (TTC), oxytetracycine (OTC), and chlorotetracyCLine (CTC) by unactivated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) during water treatment is examined in the first time.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that DCP could not be generated from Mn( VII) oxidation of unstable phenoxy radical intermediates and stable oxidation products formed from TCS by Mn(III)L, indicating that manganese intermediates other than Mn( III) are likely involved in the Mn(VII)/TCS/ligand systems responsible for the high yields of DCP product.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that chlorine can transform phenolic compounds (e.g., TBrBPA) via electron transfer rather than the well-documented electrophilic substitution, which also have implications on the formation pathway of halo-benzoquinones during chlorine disinfection.

TL;DR: It was found that free chlorine could effectively degrade bisphenol S over a wide pH range from 5 to 10 with apparent second-order rate constants of 7.6-435.3 M-1s-1.
