Abstract
The degradation of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) in UV/H2O2 process was investigated in the present study. Effects of water matrix (i.e., natural organic matter (NOM), carbonate/bicarbonate (HCO3-/CO32-), chloride ions (Cl-)), TCA concentration, and H2O2 dosage were evaluated. The second order rate constant of TCA react with HO• was determined to be 5.1×109 L/(mol·s). The degradation efficiency of TCA was increased with increasing H2O2 dosage. The increase of TCA initial concentration (0.5~200 nmol/L) and Cl- concentration (0.5~10 mmol/L) had slight negative effects on TCA degradation. The removal of TCA was significantly inhibited in the presence of NOM or HCO3-/CO32-. Further, the main degradation products, including 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone and two aromatic ring-opening products, were detected in the reaction of TCA with HO•, and thus a tentative pathway was proposed.
