Iron oxychloride (FeOCl) is a known effective iron-based catalyst and has been used in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). This study intends to achieve more facile free radicals generation from peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by exploring the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle of FeOCl in the presence of hyd...
