Describing recent developments in persulfate-based AOPs, this book aims to provide a summary of environmental applications for persulfate-based AOPs and to guide the reader, in a comprehensive way, through various advanced oxidation processes in environmental applications. Topics include new activation methods, activation mechanisms, and advanced materials for use in activating persulfate-based AOPs for different environmental applications.
Dr. Mingshan Zhu has published 110 papers in peer-reviewed journals including 85 papers as the first author or corresponding author (J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., Appl. Catal. B., Water Res....). The total citations of all papers are over 5254 times based on Google Scholar data (4/29/2020). His research is focused on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and photocatalysis for energy and environmental applications. Dr. Zhu graduated with a doctorate from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Science (ICCAS). After that, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto in Canada (2014-2015) and as a JSPS at Osaka University in Japan (2015-217). In 2018, he joined the School of Environment, Jinan University (Guangzhou, China) to be a full professor.
