Diuron Degradation in Irradiated, Heterogeneous Iron/Oxalate Systems: The Rate-Determining Step
摘要:
The purpose of this study was to examine the various factors that control the kinetics of diuron degradation in irradiated, aerated suspensions containing goethite (alpha -FeOOH) and oxalate, in the following denoted as heterogeneous photo-Fenton systems. In these systems, attack by hydroxyl radicals (HO.) was the only pathway of diuron degradation. Studies were conducted in systems containing initially 80 or 200 mg L-1 goethite (corresponding to 0.9 or 2.25 mM total iron) and 20, 50, 75, 100, 200, and 400 muM oxalate at 3 less than or equal to 5 pH less than or equal to 6. Both oxalate concentration and pH greatly affected the rate of light-induced diuron transformation. In the presence of initial 200 muM oxalate, the rate of diuron degradation was maximal at pH 4, coinciding with the maximal extent of oxalate adsorption on the surface of goethite. At pH 4,the rate of light-induced diuron degradation increased with increasing oxalate concentration, reaching a plateau at initial 200 muM oxalate, i.e., at the oxalate solution concentration at which the extent of oxalate adsorption on the surface of goethite reached a maximum. These experimental results suggest that the rate of Fe(II)(aq) formation through photochemical reductive dissolution of goethite, with oxalate acting as electron donor, determines the kinetics of diuron degradation in these heterogeneous photo-Fenton systems.
The degradationproducts of diuron (photoproducts and metabolites), already described in the literature, were synthesized in order to carry out further investigations. Their ecotoxicity was determined using the standardized Microtox test, and most of the derivatives presented a nontarget toxicity higher than that of diuron. Therefore, the biotransformation of these compounds was tested with four fungal

The degradation of diuron photoinduced by iron(III) in aqueous solution has been investigated with different iron(III) species (monomeric species Fe(OH)(2+), dimeric species Fe-2(OH)(2)(4+) and water-soluble oligomeric species) under monochromatic excitation at 365 MI and under sunlight. The rate of degradation depends on the concentration in Fe(OH)(2+), the most reactive species in terms of (OH)-O-. radical formation. The major photoproduct is 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-formyl-1-methylurea which represents more than 60% of diuron disappearance. The mechanism only involves the attack by (OH)-O-. radicals arising from iron(III) excited species. The half-lives of diuron when submitted to such a process in the environment were estimated to be 1-2 h and a few days according to the concentration of Fe(OH)(2+) (respectively 70% and <10% of total iron(III) concentration).
