en An overview of Electron Accelerator Applications in environmental protection with an emerging pollutants decomposing approach An Overview of Electron Accelerator Applications in Environmental Protection with an Emerging Pollutants Decomposing approach تخصصي Special Review <div style="text-align: left;">Problems related to environmental damages and natural resources degradation are receiving increased attention from researchers throughout the world in recent years. This occurs mostly, through un-eco-friendly technology used to produce industrial products. Therefore, an 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. Today, the design and application of the electron accelerator has been well developed due to reliability, larger capacity, greater energy range and cost reduction, which has led to an increase in their application in the refining industry. Technologies that use particle accelerators are considered critical in order to advance high-tech processes in various economic fields, including material processing, sterilization of medical products, environmental protection, medicine (treatment and diagnosis of patients; manufacturing of radiopharmaceuticals), cargo inspection, chemical analysis, nuclear energy (ADS and conversion), etc. High-energy and high-power beams pose the ability to alter the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials on an industrial scale. This technology has received more attention than other conventional treatment methods due to the need for smaller area, high electrical efficiency and production of by-products such as fertilizers. The EB 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. The literature addresses the 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 in order to control environmental pollution. Many advantages can be achieved through this method, which is known as radiation processing.</div> 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, 20 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.   Electron Accelerator, Flue Gas Treatment, Treatments, Disinfection, Emerging Pollutants 1330 1339 http://aoh.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-319-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ehsan Abouee Mehrizi Yes Environmental Science and Technology Research Center, Department of Environmental Health Engineering, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran Omid Abouee Mehrizi No Department of Medical physics, School of Medicine, Tabriz University of Medical sciences Niloufar Borhani Yazdi nborhani795@gmail.com No Department of Medical physics, School of Medicine, Tabriz University of Medical sciences
