title: [Degradation of diuron by persulfate oxidation activated by EDTA-ferrous ion in aqueous system].
abstract: The method of diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea] degradation by persulfate oxidation activated by EDTA-ferrous ion in aqueous system was conducted. Based on both of the degradation performance and the operating costs, optimal reaction condition was proposed. Operating at K2S2O8 initial concentration 2.0 mmol x L(-1), Fe(II) initial concentration 1.0 mmol x L(-1), EDTA initial concentration 0.5 mmol x L(-1), reaction time 300 min and pH = 7.0, about 67.6% of 0.1 mmol x L(1) diuron was degradation. Hydroxyl radicals and sulfate radicals produced in the system were determined by molecular probes (ethanol and tert-butanol) methods. The degradation products of diuron were identified with LC/MS methods and the degradation pathways of diuron were discussed.
