Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on sulfate radicals (SO4⋅−) suffer from low conversion rate of Fe(III) to Fe(II) and produce a large amount of iron sludge as waste. Herein, we show that by using MoO2 as a cocatalyst, the rate of Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycling in PMS system accelerated significantl...
