Abstract

The degradation of Sulfamerazine(SMR) enhanced by molecular iodine under ultrasound/H2O2/KI and UVA/H2O2/KI was investigated. The main affecting parameters, iodine generation, active species and degradation products in the two systems were discussed as well. The experimental results showed that sulfamerazine degradation was effectively enhanced in both systems, and the enhancement of ultrasound was much better. The initial pH had an obvious effect on sulfamerazine removal in the range of 2.6-5.6, and the SMR removal efficiency decreased with initial pH value. Iodine radicals (I2-·, I·) were determined as the main species in ultrasound/H2O2/KI and UVA/H2O2/KI systems. HPLC/MS/MS analysis indicated that iodo-benzene was detected in both system.
