Degradation efficiency, intermediate products, AOX (adsorbable organic halogen) formation and mineralization were considered. An overall negative impact was observed within the concentration of Cl⁻ up to 100 mM, differing from the dual effect of chloride on dye degradation process as previously observed. The presence of high levels of Cl⁻ led to a low production of AOX and a reduction of the formation of chlorinated by-products. The mineralization was also restrained when the Cl⁻ concentration was increased. Degradation pathways for these processes are proposed. These findings provide valuable information about the degradation pathways of dyes and about the formation mechanism of chlorinated by-products in industrial saline wastewater treatment.]]> Tue 05 Feb 2019 12:50:55 AEDT ]]> Monochlorophenols degradation by UV/persulfate is immune to the presence of chloride: illusion or reality? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30586 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:56 AEDT ]]>
