Ubiquitous Production of Organosulfates During Treatment of Organic Contaminants with Sulfate Radicals.

ABSTRACT: Oxidation of organic contaminants by sulfate radical (SO₄ ^•-) is becoming more popular for the treatment of hazardous waste sites by in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and industrial wastewater by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). It is well documented that SO₄ ^•- can produce similar oxygen-containing transformation products as hydroxyl radical-based treatment processes, but SO₄ ^•- also has the potential to produce organosulfates by radical addition. Experiments conducted with a suite of 23 aromatic and 5 aliphatic compounds, including several contaminants typically detected at hazardous waste sites, demonstrated the formation of at least one stable sulfate-containing product for 25 of the compounds. These compounds
