Tripolyphosphate-enhanced Fe-C promotes O2 activation for bisphenol A removal: Roles of tripolyphosphate and dominant reactive oxygen species

Key Points

• Oxygen activation is significantly enhanced for bisphenol A removal with tripolyphosphate enhancement—key reactive oxygen species are involved.
• The study shows that tripolyphosphate significantly boosts the efficiency of iron oxide in activating oxygen for bisphenol A degradation.
• Analysis involved the examination of various reactive oxygen species generated in the presence of both iron oxide and tripolyphosphate.
• This highlights the potential for tripolyphosphate to optimize environmental remediation strategies involving bisphenol A.
