NiO nanoparticles were synthesized through ultrasonic radiation precipitation-oxidation process, calcined at 300℃, and characterized by XRD, XPS, BET, and SEM. The degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) in the microwave-induced NiO catalytic system was investigated. The main intermediates were separated and identified by GC/MS and LC/MS to elucidate the potential mechanisms of the degradation process. Results showed that DMP could be effectively degraded in the experimental conditions, with up the 70% removal rate in 15min by 750W microwave and 0.4mg/L NiO. The degradation rate could be enhanced with the increase of the power of microwave, the dosage of catalyst and the initial pH of solution. The main degradation products of the DMP were identified to be p-carbomethoxy-benzoic acid, phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, carbomethoxy-phthalic acid, and a double-ring product produced through condensation of two lateral chains of DMP and so on. Consequently, the possible degradation mechanism of DMP might include 6 processes:hydrolysis, isomerization, carbomethoxylated reaction, hydroxylation, condensation of lateral chains, hydroxylation and ring-opening mineralization.
