Thermally activated persulfate (TAP) finds application in Advanced Oxidation Processes for the removal of pollutants from contaminated water and soil. This paper reviewed the various cases of TAP in the environmental remediation. The pollutants such as individual pharmaceuticals, biocides, cyclic organic compounds, and dyes are considered in this review. It is interesting to note that most of the organic compounds undergo complete degradation at a high temperature of 70°C with a first-order reaction kinetics. The influence of operating parameters such as temperature, persulfate concentration, initial pH, and degradation behavior in the presence of natural water constituents are also discussed. In addition, several processes to reduce the temperature of TAP are highlighted.

热活化过硫酸盐 (TAP) 可用于高级氧化工艺，以去除受污染的水和土壤中的污染物。本文回顾了TAP在环境修复中的各种案例。本综述考虑了诸如单个药物、杀菌剂、环状有机化合物和染料等污染物。有趣的是，大多数有机化合物在 70°C 的高温下以一级反应动力学完全降解。还讨论了在存在天然水成分的情况下，温度、过硫酸盐浓度、初始 pH 值和降解行为等操作参数的影响。此外，还重点介绍了降低 TAP 温度的几个过程。
