Comparison of Persulfate Activation and Fenton Reaction in Remediating an Organophosphorus Pesticides-Polluted Soil

Fenton oxidation for soil remediation: A critical review of observations in historically contaminated soils

“…Traditional Fenton oxidation relies on soluble Fe(II) to catalyze H 2 O 2 and requires an acidic pH (pH < 4) for optimum efficiency. This process has shown substantial potential to remove pesticides (Villa and Nogueira, 2006;Villa et al, 2008;Zhu et al, 2017), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (Jonsson et al, 2006;Lundstedt et al, 2006), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) (Liu et al, 2019;Sutton et al, 2014b;2014a) in industrially contaminated soils (Table 2). For example, Villa et al (2008) reported 75% removal of a pesticide (DDT) when traditional Fenton oxidation (6 mM FeSO 4 , 38.1 g H 2 O 2 in increments) was applied in a soil obtained from a former pesticides warehouse in Brazil.…”

Human health risk assessment of pesticide residues in vegetable and fruit samples in Gujarat State, India

“…Indiscriminate use of pesticides will precede to occurrences of residues of pesticides in vegetables and fruits. It has been proven that, residues exceeding certain limits in food products possess a possible risk to the general population, majorly due to their potential mutagenicity properties ( Wu et al., 2017 ; Cheng et al., 2017 ; Zhu et al., 2017 ). These toxic pesticides being banned for use on crops, remain to be detected with high frequencies in the environment ( Hashmi et al., 2020 ; Kafaei et al., 2020 ) and biomedia due to their long degradation half-life, migration and bioaccumulation potencies ( Hashmi et al., 2020 ; Venugopal et al., 2020 ).…”

Application of Chelating Agents to Enhance Fenton Process in Soil Remediation: A Review

“…Although the Fenton process has been proven to be a potentially viable approach for remediating contaminated soils [27][28][29], there are various limitations associated with this treatment [28]. These limitations, along with possible solutions proposed in the literature, will be examined in the following sections.…”
