Abstract
The oxidation of sulphamethoxazole medicine (SMX) has been studied by means of UV/H2O2 conducting at a controlled pH between 2.0 and 12.0 and oxidant ratios of 500 mol H2O2/mol SMX. It is verified that operating at pH = 2.0 the highest rates of SMX degradation (74%) and loss of aromaticity (64%) are obtained. During the process, a strong brown tint and high turbidity are generated in the water depending on the pH, as it affects the chemical speciation of the dissociable compounds. The colour intensity of the water increases from pH = 2.0 (light brown, 3.5 NTU) to a maximum value at pH = 4.0 (dark brown, 42 NTU), when the neutral SMX species is almost 100%. Under these conditions, the formation of carboxylic acids (acetic and oxalic) and nitrate ion are minor. Conducting at higher pH, hue decreases, obtaining at pH = 12.0 a light yellow water (5 NTU) when the anionic SMX predominates. Thus, the maximum formation of nitrate ion occurs under these conditions. A pseudo-first order kinetic modelling is proposed for the loss of aromaticity and colour and turbidity formation in water, where the kinetic parameters are expressed as a function of the applied pH, being the pseudo-first-order rate constants (min-1): k a r o m = 0.0005 p H 2 - 0.0106 p H + 0.0707 ; k c o l o u r = 0.0011 p H 2 - 0.02 p H + 0.1125 and kNTU = 0.06 min-1.

−/UV254nm system. Different systems were compared for an oxidant concentration of 10−2 mol L−1 and the obtained results showed that decolorization followed the decreasing order: BrO

UV photolysis as an efficient pretreatment method for antibiotics decomposition and their antibacterial activity elimination. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 392:122321.

Abstract
The biological treatment of antibiotic-containing wastewater is a mainstream process, but the antibacterial activity from the persistence of antibiotics would inhibit the biological activity and function of wastewater treatment plants and lead to the risk of transmission of antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes. In this study, UV photolysis was selected as an appropriate pretreatment technology for antibiotic-containing wastewater. It could decompose many kinds of antibiotics and was not inhibited by the coexisting organics in wastewater. The antibacterial activities of five kinds of antibiotics, which were eliminated with UV irradiation, exhibited a significantly positive correlation with their parent compound concentrations. The photodecomposition of the main functional groups in antibiotics contributed to the elimination of antibacterial activity. Defluorination was the main pathway to eliminate the antibacterial activity of antibiotics containing a fluorine substituent (e.g., florfenicol and ofloxacin), while the photoinduced opening of the β-lactam ring was the most efficient route to eliminate the antibacterial activity of β-lactam antibiotics (e.g. cefalexin, amoxicillin and ampicillin). These results demonstrated that UV photolysis could be adopted as an efficient and promising pretreatment strategy for the source control of antibiotic antibacterial activity by the decomposition of antibiotic functional groups before the biological treatment unit.

Abstract
The effects of salinity on the photodegradation and mineralization of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system were investigated. The goals of this study were to analyze the effects of pH and salinity on the sulfonamide concentration and total organic carbon (TOC) during the removal of sulfonamides in a UV/TiO2 system. Four sulfonamides - sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamethizole (SFZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfathiazole (STZ) - were selected as parent compounds. The photodegradation and mineralization rates of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system satisfy pseudo-first-order kinetics. Direct photolysis degraded sulfonamides but sulfonamides cannot be mineralized. The photodegradation and mineralization rate constants in all experiments followed the order pH 5 > pH 7 > pH 9. At pH 5, the mineralization rate constants of SMX, SFZ, SDZ and STZ were 0.015, 0.009, 0.012 and 0.011 min-1, respectively. The addition of NaCl inhibited the mineralization of the four tested sulfonamides more than it inhibited their photodegradation. The inhibitory effect of chloride ions on the removal of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system was attributed to the scavenging by chloride ions of hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and holes and the much lower reactivity of chlorine radicals thus formed, even though the chlorine radicals were more abundant than HO•.

Abstract
This work assesses the feasibility of several advanced oxidation processes (CWPO Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation), Photocatalysis and their combination (CWPO-Photoassisted process) for sulfonamide antibiotic degradation. Raw ilmenite was used as catalyst in both processes, because of the presence of iron and titanium in its structure. Despite both treatments allowed reaching a total starting antibiotic depletion working at pH0 = 3 and T0 = 30 °C within 30 min reaction time, significant differences were observed in terms of mineralization. Thus, whereas photocatalytic process just reduced 35% of initial TOC after 120 min, a 85% of mineralization was reached in the presence of H2O2 (CWPO-Photoassisted process) which was related to the oxidation pathway. Only a 35% of mineralization was reached in case of CWPO. In this sense, the degradation route under CWPO-Photoassisted process displayed a mechanism based on the hydroxylation that led to lower molecular weight intermediates. On the contrary, under photocatalysis conditions, the appearance of higher molecular weight intermediates due to organic radical recombination indicates the prevailing of a condensation mechanism.

Abstract
Sulfonamide antibiotics have been frequently detected in the aquatic environment and are of emerging concern due to their adverse bio-effect and potential of inducing antibiotic resistance. This study investigated the degradation kinetics of sulfonamide antibiotics in synthetic wastewater and hydrolyzed human urine by low pressure (LP) UV, UV/H2O2 and UV/peroxydisulfate (PDS). Direct photolysis rates of sulfonamide antibiotics varied and depended on the structures. Sulfonamides with a five-membered heterocyclic group underwent faster direct photolysis. For indirect photolysis processes, second-order rate constants of sulfonamide antibiotics with hydroxyl radical, sulfate radical and carbonate radical were determined, which were (6.21-9.26) × 10(9), (0.77-16.1) × 10(10) and (1.25-8.71) × 10(8) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. A dynamic model was applied and successfully predicted the degradation kinetics of sulfonamides in different water matrices. In synthetic wastewater, carbonate radical contributed to approximately 10% of the overall removal, whereas in synthetic hydrolyzed urine, carbonate radical was the dominant reactive species to degrade sulfonamides. Sulfonamide antibiotics were eliminated more efficiently in synthetic hydrolyzed urine than in synthetic wastewater and UV/PDS was more efficient than UV/H2O2 to degrade most sulfonamides. Energy evaluation showed that UV/PDS costs less energy than LPUV and UV/H2O2 under the experimental conditions applied in this study, particularly for sulfonamides whose indirect photolysis overweighed direct photolysis. By varying UV dose and oxidant dose, the UV/H2O2 process can be optimized to achieve higher efficiency than the UV/PDS process in synthetic wastewater.

Abstract
In this investigation, UV/H2O2, UV/H2O2/Fe(2+) (photo-Fenton) and UV/H2O2/Fe(3+) (photo-Fenton-like) systems were used to mineralize sulfamethizole (SFZ). The optimal doses of H2O2 (1-20 mM) in UV/H2O2 and iron (0.1-1 mM) in photo-Fenton and photo-Fenton-like systems were determined. Direct photolysis by UV irradiation and direct oxidation by added H2O2, Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) did not mineralize SFZ. The optimal dose of H2O2 was 10 mM in UV/H2O2 and that of iron (Fe(2+) or Fe(3+)) was 0.2 mM in both UV/H2O2/Fe(2+) and UV/H2O2/Fe(3+) systems. Under the best experimental conditions and after 60 min of reaction, the SFZ mineralization percentages in UV/H2O2, UV/H2O2/Fe(2+) and UV/H2O2/Fe(3+) systems were 16, 90 and 88%, respectively. The UV/H2O2/Fe(2+) and UV/H2O2/Fe(3+) systems effectively mineralized SFZ.
