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 ...
Reduction of clarithromycin and sulfamethoxazole-resistant Enterococcus by pilot-scale solar-driven Fenton oxidation
(2014)
