It has been recognized that a ferrous–polyphosphate complex can activate oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) capable of degrading organic compounds.radical dotOH has been confirmed as the predominant ROS. However, the role of O2•–during the degradation of these contaminants has not been clearly explained. In this study, we demonstrate that, in addition to producing H2O2andradical dotOH, O2–radical dotcan directly participate in the degradation ofp-nitrophenol (PNP). EPR analysis and probe tests showed that O2•–was largely produced in the first 15 min of the reaction, during which PNP was rapidly degraded. Masking experiments indicated that O2radical dot–, rather than Oradical dotH, was the main ROS for the direct degradation of PNP. GCsingle bondMS and LC-MSsingle bond confirmed that O2radical dot– reduced PNP to p-aminophenol. The PNP degradation pathway was proposed accordingly. Another two monocyclic aromatics with different functional groups were also investigated to further confirm the impact of O2radical dot– on contaminant degradation. It was found that the degree of O2radical dot– participation during direct degradation mainly depends on the molecular structures of the contaminants. In addition, STPP always maintains the ability of promoting Fe2+to activate O2after adding Fe2+four times in the system. The aforementioned results indicate that STPP can be reused in the reaction system.
