Highlights

• The degradation of benzoic acid by heat-activated persulfate was studied.

• Temperature affects the distribution of benzoic acid transformation products.

• The mechanism through which benzoic acid is transformed was established.

• The roles of temperature in heat-activated persulfate systems are discussed.

Highlights

• Activated persulfates (S2O82−) could degrade CA only under certain conditions.

• In homogeneous (i.e., solid-free) solutions, CA could be oxidized by •OH and SO4•-.

• In heterogeneous solutions, CA was removed mainly by adsorption to solids.

• Adsorption of CA retarded/inhibited the oxidation of CA, especially at acidic pH.

• CA desorption after S2O82− is depleted may cause the CA concentration to rebound.

Highlights

• Zero valent iron (ZVI) removed chlorendic acid (CA) from solution by adsorption and degradation.

• The degradation of CA took place via stepwise reductive dechlorination reactions.

• Ten products of CA transformation were detected, nine of which were identified.

• The degradation of CA occurred under a wide range of water chemistry conditions.

• ZVI is promising for the remediation of CA-contaminated groundwater.
