Abstract:The degradation of diclofenac (DCF) by bisulfite enhanced Fe3+/persulfate system was investigated. The influence of pH, Fe3+ dosage, HSO3- dosage, persulfate (PS) dosage and dissolved oxygen on DCF degradation in HSO3-/Fe3+/S2O82-system was explored. The main reactive radical species for DCF removal in this system was also identified by scavenging experiments. Finally, The degradation products and transformation mechanism of DCF by HSO3-/Fe3+/S2O82- were evaluated. DCF could be effectively degraded by the introduction of HSO3- in Fe3+/PS process, and the optimal pH was 4.0. The increased initial Fe3+, HSO3-or PS concentration promoted DCF degradation while excessive HSO3- could inhibit its degradation by acting as a SO4·- scavenger. The degradation rate of DCF was only reduced by 10.4% with bubbling nitrogen, and there was no obvious inhibitory effect in this system. According to the radical scavenging experiments, the contribution of SO4·-, HO· and SO5·- to DCF degradation in HSO3-/Fe3+/S2O82- system were calculated to be 83.0%, 12.8% and 4.3%, respectively. Four transformation products were detected using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. The potential degradation mechanism of DCF was thus proposed showing four reaction pathways including hydroxylation, decarboxylation, dehydration and formylation.
