Optimum and Efficiency of Chloramphenicol Degradation by UV/H2O2 Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP) by an advanced oxidation process, UV/H2O2, was investigated. Firstly, effect of H2O2 concentration, initial pH value, K2S2O8 concentration and reaction time on chloramphenicol degradation by UV/H2O2 process was studied. In addition, all the operation parameters mentioned above were optimized. The results showed that the degradation efficiency of CAP can be obviously enhanced with increasing both H2O2 concentration and K2S2O8 concentration. Moreover, initial pH value had unapparent impact on the efficiency of chloramphenicol degradation. Nearly complete degradation of chloramphenicol was achieved under the conditions of H2O2 concentration 2mM, initial pH value 7.7, K2S2O8 concentration 1mM and reaction time 15min.
