An Overview of Electron Accelerator Applications in Environmental Protection with an Emerging Pollutants Decomposing approach

Background: In recent years, problems related to environmental damage and natural resource degradation are receiving increased attention from researchers throughout the world. This occurs mostly, through un-eco-friendly technology used to produce industrial products. Therefore, eco-friendly science and technology (green technology) which can empower and control the existing coal power plant for the virtue of society and the earth is required. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on Electron Accelerator Applications in Environmental Protection with Emerging Pollutants Decomposing. In this regard, relevant studies were retrieved from the international databases of Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer, and Science Direct. The search strategy was developed using keywords such as Electron Accelerator, Flue Gas Treatment, Disinfection, Emerging Pollutants, water, wastewater, degradation and treatment. Finally, ۲۰ articles were selected for detailed review in this study. Results: The literature addresses various applications of electron accelerators in order to modify the physical, chemical, or biological properties of industrial pollutants in the liquid, solid, and gas phases through treatment by ionizing radiation to control environmental pollution. Many advantages can be achieved through this method, which is known as radiation processing.Conclusion: The electronic beam process in the treatment of off-gas, wastewater, and sludge, as well as the decomposition of emerging contaminants, is mentioned as a non-chemical, additive-free process that uses radiolysis to effectively decompose contaminants.
