ARPs combine activation methods and reducing agents to form highly reactive reducing radicals that degrade oxidized contaminants. Batch screening experiments were conducted to identify effective ARPs by applying several combinations of activation methods (ultraviolet light, ultrasound, electron beam, and microwaves) and reducing agents (dithionite, sulfite, ferrous iron, and sulfide) to degradation of four target contaminants (perchlorate, nitrate, perfluorooctanoic acid, and 2,4 dichlorophenol) at three pH-levels (2.4, 7.0, and 11.2). These experiments identified the combination of sulfite activated by ultraviolet light produced by a low-pressure mercury vapor lamp (UV-L) as an effective ARP. More detailed kinetic experiments were conducted with nitrate and perchlorate as target compounds, and nitrate was found to degrade more rapidly than perchlorate. Effectiveness of the UV-L\/sulfite treatment process improved with increasing pH for both perchlorate and nitrate. We present the theory behind ARPs, identify potential ARPs, demonstrate their effectiveness against a wide range of contaminants, and provide basic experimental evidence in support of the fundamental hypothesis for ARP, namely, that activation methods can be applied to reductants to form reducing radicals that degrade oxidized contaminants. This article provides an introduction to ARPs along with sufficient data to identify potentially effective ARPs and the target compounds these ARPs will be most effective in destroying. Further research will provide a detailed analysis of degradation kinetics and the mechanisms of contaminant destruction in an ARP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/ees.2012.0273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,30]],"date-time":"2013-04-30T10:31:31Z","timestamp":1367317891000},"page":"264-271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":207,"title":["Advanced Reduction Processes: A New Class of Treatment Processes"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Bhanu Prakash","family":"Vellanki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bill","family":"Batchelor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Abdel-Wahab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University at Qatar","place":["Qatar"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ic960701q"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ic00129a005"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rspa.1966.0099"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1063\/1.555805"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/j100625a008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/j100857a020"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/j100851a073"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ja01643a063"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/1010-6030(93)85080-R"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_1","first-page":"295","article-title":"Sulfite oxidation: The state-of-the-art of the problem","volume":"38","author":"Ermakov A.N.","year":"1997","unstructured":"Ermakov A.N., , Poskrebyshev G.A., , Purmal A.P. 1997.
