Abstract
It's a new perspective to explore the influences of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) components and environmental factors on the removal of sulfisoxazole (SIX) from the water matrix. Reactive intermediates (RIs) trapping experiments demonstrated that excited triplet-state CDOM (3CDOM⁎) played a dominant promoting role (54.11%) in the CDOM-mediated SIX indirect photodegradation. Additionally, terrestrial humic-like (C1, C3 and C4) and marine humic-like (C2) fluorescent components were identified by parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis of CDOM excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMs). C1 and C4 were significantly correlated (R2 > 0.91) with the SIX degradation rate owing to their higher productivity of RIs and a greater contribution to the production of 3CDOM⁎ compared to others. Salinity, pH and HCO3− were conducive to the SIX indirect photodegradation, while metal ions (Fe3+ and Cu2+), halogen ions (Cl− and Br−) and NO3− were opposite. These findings are essential for understanding the environmental fate of SIX in coastal waters.
