Abstract
|
|
|
Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is widely spread in the natural environment as an endocrine disruption chemicals (EDs).
Therefore, in this study, ultrasound (US) and ultraviolet (UVC), including various applied power density (10-40 W/L), UV
wavelengths (365 nm, 254 nm and 185 nm) and frequencies (283 kHz, 935 kHz) were applied to a DEP contaminated
solution. The pseudo-first order degradation rate constants were in the order of 10-1 to 10-4 min-1 depending on the processes.
Photolytic and sonophotolytic DEP degradation rate also were high at shortest UV wavelength (VUV) due to the higher
energy of photons, higher molar absorption coefficient of DEP and increased hydroxyl radical generation from homolysis of
water. Sonolytic DEP degradation rate increased with increase of applied input power and the dominant reaction mechanism of DEP in sonolysis was estimated as hydroxyl radical reaction by the addition of t-BuOH, which is a common hydroxyl radical scavenger. Moreover, synergistic effect of were also observed for sonophotolytic degradation with various UV
irradiation.
