Abstract
Thermally activated persulfate oxidation process was applied to degrade sodium diatrizoate in the aqueous solution. The impact factors, such as temperature, the initial concentrations of K2S2O8 and substrate, the initial solution pH and water matrix were investigated. The results show that diatrizoate degradation by thermally activated persulfate oxidation was fitted well with pseudo-first-order mode and Arrhenius equation. The apparent activation energy for this reaction was estimated as 105.57 kJ•mol-1. Increasing initial persulfate concentration or temperature and reducing initial substrate concentration significantly increased the apparent rate constant (k) of diatrizoate degradation (k=0.0062×[K2S2O8]0, R2=0.98, [K2S2O8]0=2~8 mmol•L-1; lnk=-12698×1/T+34.91, R2=0.98, T=325~345 K; k=-1.54×[diatrizoate]0+ 0.064, R2=0.98), while k was less affected by the initial pH of the solution. The presence of Cl-, HCO3 - and HA in the solution inhibited the degradation of diatrizoate. The low TOC removal rate and formation of organic by-products indicate that the degradation of diatrizoate was incomplete and only its side chain was destructed. The transformation pathways of diatrizoate in the heat-activated persulfate system mainly included amide bond cleavage, amino oxidation and decarboxylation-hydroxylation.
