pH-dependent contribution of chlorine monoxide radicals and byproducts formation during UV/chlorine treatment on clothianidin

UV/염소공법을 통한 clothianidin의 처리에서 pH에 따른 chlorine monoxide 라디칼의 기여와 분해생성물 발생에 관한 연구

초록/요약

Combining UV and free chlorine (UV/chlorine) is an efficient advanced oxidation process for the abatement of recalcitrant organic compounds in drinking water and wastewater. This study investigated the degradation of a neonicotinoid insecticide, clothianidin (CTD), by UV/chlorine treatment. The free chlorine concentration was optimized at 160 μM, and 90.1 ± 0.4% of 40 μM CTD was degraded after 300 s of treatment. Radical quenching tests using tert-butyl alcohol, Cl-, HCO3- , and N3- indicated that chlorine monoxide (ClO•) was the main radical species for CTD degradation. The second-order rate constants of CTD reacting with ClO• (kClO•,CTD = 7.3 ± 0.1 × 109 M-1 s-1) was 4.3 times higher than that for •OH (k•OH,CTD = 1.7 ± 0.2 × 109 M-1 s-1). The presence of humic acid inhibited CTD degradation by filtering UV and scavenging ClO•. The pH was optimized at 7, and the overall reaction rate constant (k′) was 2.35 ± 0.02 × 10-1 s-1 (half-life = 0.49 min). Degradation products identified during the UV/chlorine treatment were 1-methyl-3-nitroguanidine ([M + H]+ = 118.9), nitroguanidine ([M + H]+ = 105.1), methylguanidine ([M + H]+ = 74.3), and clothianidin urea ([M + H]+ = 206). The detailed time dependent concentrations of the generated products under different pH conditions were also provided. The results suggest that the UV/chlorine treatment can be an efficient strategy for CTD degradation.
