Abstract: The iron (II)-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and iron (III)-EDTA activation of persulfate was compared using reactant-specific probe compounds: the combined sulfate radical and hydroxyl radical probe anisole, the ...

Abstract: The generation of reactive species in activated persulfate systems under different conditions of basicity was investigated using three probe compounds. Anisole was used to detect both sulfate radical and hydroxyl radical. ...
