Influences and mechanisms of phosphate ions onto persulfate activation and organic degradation in water treatment: A review

•The effects and mechanisms of phosphate ions on persulfate (PS) activation are discussed.•Phosphate ions favor to attack asymmetric PMS compared to PDS.•The research directions of phosphate ions in PS-AOPs are proposed. Currently, various strategies have been applied to activate persulfate (PS) for...
