Ultrasound-assisted bisphenol AF degradation using in situ generated hydrogen peroxide

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: significantly improves the degradation of BPAF from 46.7% to 94.8% in ∼15 min. The reaction follows a pseudo-first-order kinetic model. This study examines the influence of solution pH, anions, humic acid, and different concentrations of the reactants on BPAF degradation. Mass spectrometry was used to identify the BPAF degradation products, and a degradation pathway is proposed. This work advances the understanding of in situ hydrogen peroxide generation and activation in advanced oxidation (Fenton-like) processes (AOPs).
