Understanding the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential to elucidate the mechanism of contaminants degradation in in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO). In this study, compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA) and radicals quenching methods were integrated to investigate the roles of hydroxyl radical (HOradical dot), sulfate radical (SO4radical dot−), and superoxide radical (O2radical dot−) on trichloroethene (TCE) degradation during persulfate (PS) activated with base. The carbon isotope fractionation of TCE was found to be dependent of the base:PS ratios, yielding carbon enrichment factors (ε values) from −9.8 ± 0.5‰ to −16.7 ± 1.0‰ at base:PS molar ratios between 0.5:1 and 10:1, which was attributed to multi-pathways degradation of TCE by multiple ROS. The expected ε value (−31.6 ± 1.6‰) for TCE degradation via O2radical dot−attacking pathway, was more negative than those values via SO4radical dot−or HOradical dot pathways. The relative contributions of HOradical dot, SO4radical dot−and O2radical dot−for TCE degradation during base activated PS were estimated with observed ε values. HOradical dot and O2radical dot−were the predominant ROS for TCE degradation (with the relative contribution of 55–69% and 22–45%, respectively) in base activated PS. This work highlights the prospect of CSIA application for identifying degradation pathways of contaminants with ROS in environment.
