TL;DR: In this paper, the relative contribution of high-valent iron species versus sulfate radical in these two systems were quantitatively assessed by using methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PMSO) as a mechanistic probe.

TL;DR: The presence of I- apparently accelerated the transformation rates of BPAF and BPS by Mn( VII), and these results could be explained by the contribution of hypoiodous acid (HOI) in situ formed from Mn(VII) oxidation of I-.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the developments of Bicarbonate activated hydrogen peroxide oxidation system (BAP system) for water treatment in the following aspects: 1) the equilibrium properties and HCO4- formation in BAP system; 2) the in-situ generation of multiple reactive species and mechanisms, including the direct oxidation process without catalyst and enhanced oxidation process with homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts.

TL;DR: Reaction kinetics and mechanisms of the oxidation of synthetic or natural mediators by these mild oxidants, as well as the transformation of organic pollutants including phenols, amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organic dyes, pulp, and perfluoroalkyl acids by Medox are summarized.

TL;DR: An important role of I- is demonstrated in the transformation kinetics and product formation of phenolic compounds by KMnO4, which has great implications for future applications of KMnNO4 in treatment of I--containing water.
