Abstract
In order to evaluate a removal characteristic of diclofenac, ibuprofen and naproxen by oxidizing agents, $Cl_2,\;O_3$ and $O_3/H_2O_2$ are used as oxidants in this study. In case of that $Cl_2$ is used for oxidizing pharmaceuticals, ibuprofen is not removed entirely at $Cl_2$ dose range of 0.5~5.0 mg/L for 60 minutes, however, removal tendency of diclofenac and naproxen are so obviously at $Cl_2$ dose higher than 0.5 mg/L. In addition, as $Cl_2$ dose and contact time are increased, the removal rate of diclofenac and naproxen is enhanced. When $O_3$ is used as oxidizing agent, ibuprofen is not eliminated at $O_3$ dose range of 0.2~5.0 mg/L. On the contrary, 72~100% of diclofenac and 49~100% of naproxen are removed at $O_3$ dose of 0.2~5.0 mg/L. From experiments using $O_3/H_2O_2$ as an oxidant, we can find that $O_3/H_2O_2$ is much more effective than $O_3$ only for removal of diclofenac and naproxen. Moreover, the efficiency is raised according to increase of $H_2O_2$ dose, however, experiments using $O_3/H_2O_2$ show that oxidation of pharmaceuticals is less effective as $H_2O_2$ to $O_3$ ratio increased to above approximately 1.0. On reaction rate constant and half-life of diclofenac, ibuprofen and naproxen depending on $Cl_2$, $O_3$ and $O_3/H_2O_2$ dose, an oxidation of pharmaceuticals by $Cl_2$ and $O_3$ particularly has a comparatively high reaction rate constant and short half-life comparing $O_3/H_2O_2$. From above results, we can fine that diclofenac and naproxen can be easily eliminated in oxidation processes.
