“…Today, a new technology called advanced reduction processes (ARPs) has been developed alongside advanced oxidation processes )AOPs) 16 , 17 . ARPs have proven to be very successful in degrading various pollutants such as acid yellow 17 dye 18 ,vinyl chloride 19 , bromate 20 , perchlorate 21 , diclofenac 22 , 1,2-dichloroethane 23 , pyridine 24 , 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol 25 and hexavalent chromium 23 . ARPs, with a combination of activation methods and reducing agents, lead to the production of highly reactive free radicals that can decompose pollutants 16 , 26 .…”
