Advanced oxidation of the commercial nonionic surfactant octylphenol polyethoxylate TritonTM X-45 by the persulfate/UV-C process: effect of operating parameters and kinetic evaluation

This study explored the potential use of a sulfate radical (SO4●-)-based photochemical oxidation process to treat the commercial nonionic surfactant octylphenol polyethoxylate (OPPE) TritonTMX-45. For this purpose, the effect of initial S2O82- (0-5.0 mM) and OPPE (10-100 mg/L) concentrations on OPPE...
