Degradation of atrazine by persulfate activation with copper sulfide (CuS): Kinetics study, degradation pathways and mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, copper sulfide (CuS) was used as a catalyst to activate persulfate (PS) for ATZ degradation, and a new method called one-eight-lives was proposed to investigate the kinetic parameters (i.e., atrazine concentration, CuS dosage, PS dosage).
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced visible light photocatalytic reduction of organic pollutant and electrochemical properties of CuS catalyst

TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of organic compound using CuS photocatalyst under visible light irradiation was performed by using copper nitrate as copper precursor and thiourea, sodium thiosulphate as sulfur precursors via hydrothermal route.

Mechanism Investigation of Visible Light-Induced Degradation in a Heterogeneous TiO2/Eosin Y/Rhodamine B System

TL;DR: The results showed that the photodegradation of RhB is enhanced significantly when EO is introduced into the P-25/RhB system, and it can be deduced that dissolved O(2) plays a crucial role in dye photodegrading and the O(*-) anion is possibly the major active oxygen species.
