Degradation of Bisphenol S Using and/or with UV in a Flow-Through Reactor
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 142, Issue 8
Abstract
In this paper, degradation of bisphenol S (BPS) in spiked water and postsecondary-treated wastewater by a variety of oxidation processes was investigated in a flow-through reactor. Kinetics of degradation in , ultraviolet , , and were determined and reported. The degradation of BPS by alone was competitive with the UV-promoted methods. An increase in BPS loss with was observed in postsecondary-treated wastewater, demonstrating its potential application as a treatment method for BPS. Total organic carbon (TOC) as an indicator of the extent of organic compound mineralization and sulfate as a by-product produced during degradation were measured. It was noted that although the loss of BPS was similar in the and the processes, the overall mineralization rate was different, indicating that the combination technique offers a more efficient system in terms of overall mineralization rate. The process was the most effective and led to complete mineralization of BPS within 90 min in both spiked water and postsecondary-treated wastewater.
