Comparative investigation of acetaminophen degradation in aqueous solution by UV/Chlorine and UV/H2O2 processes: Kinetics and toxicity assessment, process feasibility and products identification
Abstract
The degradation of acetaminophen (ACM) was comparatively studied by UV/chlorine and UV/H 2 O 2 systems. An apparent reduction in the removal rate was observed above the optimum pH levels of 7.0 and 3.0 in UV/chlorine and UV/H 2 O 2 processes, respectively. The relative contribution of each oxidizing agent in ACM removal using the two advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) was evaluated. Even though hydroxyl radicals, with the contribution percentage of 90.1%, were determined as the primary oxidizing species in ACM removal using the UV/H 2 O 2 process, reactive chlorine species (RCS), with 43.8% of contribution percentage, were also found to play a pivotal role in ACM removal using the UV/chlorine process. For instance, dichlorine radical (Cl 2•-) showed an acceptable contribution percentage of 32.2% in the degradation of ACM by the UV/chlorine process. The rate of ACM degradation significantly rose to 99.9% and 75.6%, as higher amounts of oxidants were used in the UV/chlorine and UV/H 2 O 2 processes, respectively, within 25 min. The introduction of HCO 3- ions and humic acid remarkably decreased the rate of ACM degradation in both techniques used in this study. The presence of NO 3- and Cl- ions did not considerably affect the removal rate in the UV/chlorine process. The acute toxicity analysis revealed that a more pronounced reduction in the ACM solution toxicity could be achieved by the UV/H 2 O 2 process compared to the UV/chlorine process, which should be ascribed to the formation of chlorinated products in the UV/chlorine treatment. Eventually, plausible oxidation pathways were proposed for each process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
