  abstract = {{W}ater scarcity and water pollution is a worldwide problem and has driven research into eco-friendly and low-energy cost efficient remediation. {T}he reuse of wastewater for non-potable purpose after proper treatment is the only sustainable solution to the problem. {A}dvanced oxidation processes ({AOP}) based on the in-situ generation of hydroxyl radicals have been intensively investigated for this purpose as a treatment step to achieve wastewater reuse. {T}he main degradation mechanism of {AOP}s is based on the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with dissolved organic matter. {H}owever, hydroxyl radicals follow unselective multi-step pathways, limiting their efficiency in complex environmental matrices. {T}o overcome such limitations, {AOP} treatment, based on generation of sulfate radicals, has been developed and widely investigated. {T}his current mini-review will cover the most recent developments regarding emerging contaminant removal, i.e., organic micropollutants, using sulfate radicals generated by active persulfate or peroxymonosulfate, with a focus on an application to wastewater effluents for possible wastewater reuse.},
