摘要:The work detailed in this study investigated the efficiency of
oxidizing technologie for the removal of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)
from aqueous solutions. OCPs constitute an important group of
environmental pollutants also known to be endocrine-disrupting
compounds (EDCs). The particular focus has been on a process achieving
oxidation through the use of ultrasonic waves, with the impacts of pH, time
on TOC and pesticide removal all being tested. Results confirm effective
TOC decomposition using ultrasonic waves, albeit with reaction time
showing a significant impact on results. Furthermore, results for TOC were
not found to reflect those relating to the removal of individual substances
from the tested mixture. Chromatographic analysis of reaction mixtures
was therefore carried out after the selected processes had been applied, and
an attempt to identify and characterize degradation products of the
pesticides tested was also made. During the irradiation, the H2O2
concentration arising was also monitored. The results indicate that H2O2 is
produced by cavitation during ultrasonic irradiation.
