Degradation of clofibric acid in UV/chlorine disinfection process: kinetics, reactive species contribution and pathways

As a potential endocrine disruptor, clofibric acid (CA) was investigated in this study for its degradation kinetics and pathways in UV/chlorine process. The results showed that CA in both UV photolysis and UV/chlorine processes could be degraded via pseudo-first-order kinetics, while it almost could...
