Popis: In-situ thermal desorption (ISTD) has attracted increasing attention owing to the efficient removal of organic contaminants from contaminated sites. However, it is poorly understood that whether and to what extent contamination degradation occurs upon oxygenation of reduced Fe-bearing clay minerals (RFC) in the subsurface during ISTD. In this study, we evaluated the mechanism of contaminant degradation upon oxygenation of reduced clay minerals during the ISTD. Reduced nontronite (rNAu-2) and montmorillonite (rSWy-3) were selected as RFC models. Results showed that thermal treatment during ISTD could significantly enhance phenol degradation, which increased from 25.8 % at 10 °C to 74.4 % at 70 °C in rNAu-2 and from 17.7 % at 10 °C to 49.8 % at 70 °C in rSWy-3. Correspondingly, the cumulative •OH at steady-state ([•OH]
