Kinetic and mechanism investigation on the photochemical degradation of atrazine with activated H2O2, S2O82− and HSO5−
(2014)
•Degradation of atrazine was investigated in UV, UV/H2O2, UV/HSO5− and UV/S2O82− AOPs.•UV/S2O82− process was found to be more efficient as well as more economical.•The pH affected UV/S2O82− but had no significant influence ...
Significant role of UV and carbonate radical on the degradation of oxytetracycline in UV-AOPs: Kinetics and mechanism
(2016)
Carbonate radical (CO3•-), a selective oxidant, reacts readily with electron-rich compounds through electron transfer and/or hydrogen abstraction. In this study, the role of CO3•- in degrading oxytetracycline (OTC) by UV ...
Erythromycin oxidation and ERY-resistant Escherichia coli inactivation in urban wastewater by sulfate radical-based oxidation process under UV-C irradiation
(2015)
This study evaluates the feasibility of UV-C-driven advanced oxidation process induced by sulfate radicals (SO4-) in degrading erythromycin (ERY) in secondary treated wastewater. The results revealed that 10 mg L-1 of ...
Review: Dissolved effluent organic matter: Characteristics and potential implications in wastewater treatment and reuse applications
(2015)
Wastewater reuse is currently considered globally as the most critical element of sustainable water management. The dissolved effluent organic matter (dEfOM) present in biologically treated urban wastewater, consists of a ...
Degradation kinetics and mechanism of β-lactam antibiotics by the activation of H2O2 and Na2S2O8 under UV-254nm irradiation
(2014)
The extensive production and usage of antibiotics have led to an increasing occurrence of antibiotic residuals in various aquatic compartments, presenting a significant threat to both ecosystem and human health. This study ...
Role of pH on photolytic and photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic oxytetracycline in aqueous solution under visible/solar light: Kinetics and mechanism studies
(2013)
In this study, the photochemical degradation of the antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) at different pH values was investigated in aqueous solution under visible and solar light irradiation. Particular emphasis was given to ...
