The fate of organic pollutants in environmental matrices can be determined by degradation and humification. The humification process represents a promising strategy to remove organic pollutants, particularly those resistant to degradation. In contrast to the well-studied degradation process, the contribution and application prospects of the humification process for organic pollutant removal has been underestimated. The recent progress in synthesizing artificial humic substances (HS) has made directed humification of recalcitrant organic pollutants possible. This review focuses on degradation and humification of organic matter, especially recalcitrant organic pollutants. Challenges in understanding the contribution, underlying mechanisms, and artificial synthesis of HS for removing organic pollutants are also critically discussed. We advocate further investigating the humification of organic pollutants in future studies.
环境基质中有机污染物的归宿可通过降解和腐殖化来确定。腐殖化过程是去除有机污染物，尤其是那些抗降解污染物的一种很有前景的策略。与已得到充分研究的降解过程相比，腐殖化过程在去除有机污染物方面的作用和应用前景一直被低估。人工合成腐殖质（HS）的最新进展使难降解有机污染物的定向腐殖化成为可能。本综述聚焦于有机物，尤其是难降解有机污染物的降解和腐殖化。文中还批判性地讨论了在理解HS对去除有机污染物的作用、潜在机制及人工合成方面所面临的挑战。我们提倡在未来研究中进一步探究有机污染物的腐殖化。
