The application of sludge biochar (SC) materials as efficient catalysts for organic pollutants mineralization via advanced oxidation process meets the good strategy of "make waste profitable". The catalytic oxidations of methyl orange (MO) and pyrene by oxalic acid modified sludge biochar (SC-OA) with and without H2O2 were carried out. The analysis of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electronic paramagnetic resonance spectrometer (EPR) and free radical quenching experiment were performed and the definite relationships between persistent free radicals (PFRs) type and specific reactive oxygen species (ROS) were made clear. It is suggested for the first time that carbon-centered type PFRs in SC-OA without H2O2 could form O2•- and •OH from COOH groups, while oxygen-centered type PFRs induced H2O2 to produce •OH. The degradation intermediates of MO and pyrene were identified and the transformation pathways were proposed. SC-OA, possessing good sustainable utilization and clean catalytic property, is expected to be popularized and applied in the mineralization of organic pollutants, especially in the in-situ remediation of contaminated soil where is no continuous supply of H2O2.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D006861 Hydrogen Peroxide A strong oxidizing agent used in aqueous solution as a ripening agent, bleach, and topical anti-infective.
