Application

<ul>
<li><strong>Electrochemical treatment of organic pollutants in landfill leachate using a three-dimensional electrode system.</strong>: This study explores the electrochemical treatment of landfill leachate using a three-dimensional electrode system. Sodium persulfate is used as an oxidizing agent to degrade organic pollutants effectively, providing a potential method for waste management and environmental protection (Yu et al., 2020).</li>
<li><strong>The Box-Benkhen experimental design for the optimization of the electrocatalytic treatment of wastewaters with high concentrations of phenol and organic matter.</strong>: This paper discusses the optimization of electrocatalytic treatment processes for wastewater containing high levels of phenol and organic matter using sodium persulfate. The study provides valuable insights for improving wastewater treatment efficiency (GilPavas et al., 2009).</li>
<li><strong>Reaction of pectin and glycidyl methacrylate and ulterior formation of free films by reticulation.</strong>: This research involves the chemical modification of pectin with glycidyl methacrylate followed by cross-linking using sodium persulfate, leading to the formation of free-standing films. These films have potential applications in pharmaceuticals and food packaging (Maior et al., 2008).</li>

Contaminant destruction with in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using persulfate (peroxydisulfate, S2O8(2-)) can be enhanced by activation, which increases the rate of persulfate decomposition to sulfate radicals (SO4*-). This step initiates a chain of radical reactions involving species (including SO4*-
