Abstract:
Using UV-LED / Cl
2 Advanced Oxidation Process to study the degradation of metoprolol (MTP), one of the β-blocker, the effects of light intensity, chlorine dosage, pH, TBA and other factors on the degradation of MTP are investigated. Studies have shown that UV-LED / Cl
2 can effectively remove MTP by synergy. The MTP degradation during UV-LED / Cl
2 treatment satisfies pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the pseudo-first-order rate constants of MTP (
kobs) increases with the UV-LED light intensity and the pH of the solution. With the increase of the chlorine dose, the
kobs of MTP increases first and then decreases. The
kobs of MTP decreases with the increase of the initial concentration of MTP and TBA, and TBA has a strong inhibitory effect on MTP degradation during UV-LED / Cl
2 treatment.
