Influencing factors on performance of electro-oxidation and UV/electro-oxidation for removal of atrazine: Kinetics, long-term stability and toxicity.

Performance of electro-oxidation (EO) and UV/electro-oxidation (UV/EO) on atrazine (ATZ) removal was investigated under various operating factors. Because of synergistic effect on ATZ removal, UV/EO was the most effective process, followed by UV/chlorine, EO, UV irradiation, and chlorination, respectively. Although the energy consumption of UV/EO for 90% removal was similar to that of EO, UV/EO removed ATZ 1.
