| Abstract: | "With a large amount of domestic sewage and industrial wastewater discharged into the water bodies, sulfur-containing organic matter in wastewater produced volatile organic sulfide, such as dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) through microorganisms, caused the potential danger of drinking water safety and human health. At present, there is still a lack of technology on the removal of DMTS. In this study, the ultraviolet/peroxymonosulfate (UV/PMS) advanced oxidation processes was used to explore the degradation of DMTS. More than 90% of DMTS (30 microg/L) was removed under the conditions of the concentration ratio of DMTS to PMS was 3:40, the temperature (T) was 25 +/- 2?SG, and 10 min of irradiation by a 200 W mercury lamp (365 nm). The kinetics rate constant k of DMTS reacting with hydroxyl radical (HO.) was determined to be 0.2477 min(-1). Mn(2+), Cu(2+) and NO(3)(-) promoted the degradation of DMTS, whereas humic acid and Cl(-) in high concentrations inhibited the degradation process. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the degradation products and the degradation intermediates were dimethyl disulfide and methanethiol. Density functional theory was used to predict the possible degradation mechanism according to the frontier orbital theory and the bond breaking mechanism of organic compounds. The results showed that the SS, CS and CH bonds in DMTS molecular structure were prone to fracture in the presence of free radicals, resulting in the formation of alkyl radicals and sulfur-containing radicals, which randomly combined to generate a variety of degradation products" |
