The sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation process (SR-AOP) is gaining more research attention in this decade. Many studies are evaluating the ability of SR-AOP to replace hydroxyl-radical-based advanced oxidation process (HR-AOP). Implementing SR-AOP as a water treatment technique could overcome the major limitations associated with HR-AOP, such as acidic pH requirement, and the interferences by environmental components. Nonetheless, the mineralization efficiency in SR-AOP is a concern. Thus, despite many studies published on pollutant degradation using SR-AOP, those are insufficient to state the practical viability. This article shed light on the different ways of activating persulfate /peroxymonosulfate/H₂O₂ to yield reactive radicals, comparing SR-AOP and HR-AOP, followed by a discussion on the combined treatment processes. Particular emphasis is given to the limitations associated with SR-AOP, that are taken into account to achieve efficient mineralization of pollutants.

基于硫酸根的高级氧化工艺（SR-AOP）在这十年中获得了更多的研究关注。许多研究正在评估 SR-AOP 替代基于羟基自由基的高级氧化工艺 (HR-AOP) 的能力。将 SR-AOP 作为一种水处理技术可以克服与 HR-AOP 相关的主要限制，例如酸性 pH 要求和环境成分的干扰。尽管如此，SR-AOP 的矿化效率仍是一个问题。因此，尽管发表了许多关于使用 SR-AOP 降解污染物的研究，但这些都不足以说明实际可行性。本文阐明了激活过硫酸盐/过氧单硫酸盐/H ₂ O _{2的不同方法}产生反应性自由基，比较 SR-AOP 和 HR-AOP，然后讨论联合处理过程。特别强调了与 SR-AOP 相关的限制，这些限制被考虑到实现污染物的有效矿化。
