Radiolysis performance of ibuprofen using ionizing processes: kinetics and energy consumption.

Ionizing technologies are used for disinfection and treatment of different industrial wastewaters. For this purpose, the radiolytic degradation of ibuprofen (IBP), selected within the main detected pharmaceuticals in different water locations with different concentrations, was investigated. Irradiation was performed with a gamma irradiator (Co) and with electron beam accelerator.
