Abstract:
Heterogeneous Fenton and Fenton-like reactions, as one of the significant development directions of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), still have some limitations that hinder their large-scale practical application. Organic carbon transfer processes (OCTPs) in AOPs including direct oxidation transfer processes (DOTPs) and changes in the solubility of pollutant reaction intermediates can lead to a significant accumulation of organics on the catalyst. The accumulation of organics severely impacts the sustainability of the catalyst and may lead to erroneous guidance about the mineralization rate of the reaction system. This perspective provides a comprehensive overview of recent research on OCTPs and presents new viewpoints and research directions for heterogeneous AOPs.

Oxidations of Aldehydes and Ketones to Carboxylic Acids
Aldehydes readily undergo oxidation in strong oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate and chromic acid. The oxidation can also be carried out using mild oxidizing agents such as silver oxide. In fact, aldehydes can be easily oxidized...
