The effect of the zeta potential of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) and carbocatalyst on the activation of persulfate was investigated. The oxidation experiments were performed on three different compounds, with variously modified nZVI and three distinct carbocatalysts. From the obtained results, an evident linear correlation between nanoparticles’ zeta potential and reaction rate constants of these…

New article from our group: Selective spectrophotometric determination of peroxydisulfate based on a by-product formation
Peroxydisulfate (PDS) is a commonly used oxidant for in-situ chemical oxidation. There is still a lack of reliable methods for PDS determination, especially in the presence of other strong oxidants or other anions. Therefore, a new method was developed based on the evolution of a stable oxidation product from Acid Blue 40 (AB40) dye. The…
