Today, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is considered as a key and effective method for environment preservation from pollutions. In this study , advanced photochemical oxidation processes using O3/H2O2 and O3/H2O2/UV systems were investigated batch photolytic reactor in lab-scale for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). In ozone generator source, air, as of the initial instrument feed, changes to ozone after electrical action and reaction. The UV irradiation source was a medium-pressure mercury lamp 300 W that was immerse in the wastewater solution with in 1.5 liter volume reactor. The reaction was influenced by the pH, the input concentration of H2O2, the input concentration of BPA, ozone dosage, chemical oxidation demand (COD) and UV irradiation time. Results showed that at initial bisphenol A concentration of 100 mg/l will completely degrade after 60 minutes by using O3/H2O2 in the pH range from 9.8 to 10 and by adding UV, it will happen in less than 36 minutes in the pH range of 3 to 10. The O3/H2O2/UV process reduced COD to 75 percents.

The degradation of propoxycarbazone-sodium, an active component of commercial herbicide, in aqueous solution with ozone, UV photolysis and advanced oxidation processes: O3/UV, O3/UV/H2O2, H2O2/UV, and the Fenton process was studied. All these methods of degradation proved feasible. The kinetics of propoxycarbazone-sodium degradation in water followed the pseudo-first order equation for all studied processes except the Fenton treatment. The application of schemes with ozone demonstrated low pseudo-first order rate constants within the range of 10−4 s−1. Addition of UV radiation to the processes improved the removal of propoxycarbazone-sodium and increased the pseudo-first order rate constants to 10−3 s−1. The Fenton process was the most efficient and resulted in 5 and 60 s of half-life and 90% conversion time of propoxycarbazone-sodium, respectively, at 14 mM H2O2 concentration. UV treatment and the Fenton process may be recommended for practical application in decontamination of water or wastewater.

Summary Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known endocrine disruptor with adverse oestrogen-like effects eliciting adverse effects in humans and wildlife. For this reason it is necessary to set up an efficient removal of BPA from wastewaters, before they are discharged into surface waters. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of BPA removal from aqueous samples with photolytic, photocatalytic, and UV/H2O2 oxidation. BPA solutions were illuminated with different bulbs (halogen; 17 W UV, 254 nm; and 150 W UV, 365 nm) with or without the TiO2 P-25 catalyst or H2O2 (to accelerate degradation). Acute toxicity and oestrogenic activity of treated samples were determined using luminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri), water fleas (Daphnia magna), zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio), and Yeast Estrogen Screen (YES) assay with genetically modified yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results confirmed that BPA is toxic and oestrogenically active. Chemical analysis showed a reduction of BPA levels after photolytic treatment and 100 % conversion of BPA by photocatalytic and UV/H2O2 oxidation. The toxicity and oestrogenic activity of BPA were largely reduced in photolytically treated samples. Photocatalytic oxidation, however, either did not reduce BPA toxic and oestrogenic effects or even increased them in comparison with the baseline, untreated BPA solution. Our findings suggest that chemical analysis is not sufficient to determine the efficiency of advanced oxidation processes in removing pollutants from water and needs to be complemented with biological tests.

In this review article, we summarize the current knowledge about the applicability of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as UV/H2O2, Fenton and photo-Fenton for removal of textile dyes from wastewater and the effect of operational parameters (initial dye concentration, initial H2O2 concentration, initial Fe2+ concentration and initial pH) on these processes. Numerous studies have reported the use of AOPs for degradation of textile dyes, and the results show that they are very effective. By comparing the results of the previous studies, it seems that the photo- Fenton process is more efficient than the Fenton and UV/H2O2 process.

Abstract In this study, photocatalytic and catalytic wet-air oxidation (CWAO) processes were used to examine removal efficiency of bisphenol A from aqueous samples over several titanate nanotube-based catalysts. Unexpected toxicity of bisphenol A (BPA) samples treated by means of the CWAO process to some tested species was determined. In addition, the CWAO effluent was recycled five- or 10-fold in order to increase the number of interactions between the liquid phase and catalyst. Consequently, the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis indicated higher concentrations of some toxic metals like chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silver, and zinc in the recycled samples in comparison to both the single-pass sample and the photocatalytically treated solution. The highest toxicity of five- and 10-fold recycled solutions in the CWAO process was observed in water fleas, which could be correlated to high concentrations of chromium, nickel, and silver detected in tested samples. The obtained results clearly demonstrated that aqueous samples treated by means of advanced oxidation processes should always be analyzed using (i) chemical analyses to assess removal of BPA and total organic carbon from treated aqueous samples, as well as (ii) a battery of aquatic organisms from different taxonomic groups to determine possible toxicity.
