The photochemical degradation of iopamidol with low-pressure UV lamps and the formation of iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) during sequential oxidation processes including chlorine, monochloramine and chlorine dioxide were investigated in this study. Iopamidol can be effectively decomposed by UV irradiation with pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The evaluated quantum yield was found to be 0.03318 mol einstein(-1). Results showed that iopamidol degradation rate was significantly increased by higher UV intensity and lower initial iopamidol concentration. However, the effect of solution pH was negligible. Degradation of iopamidol by UV photolysis was subjected to deiodination and hydroxylation mechanisms. The main degradation products including -OH substitutes and iodide were identified by UPLC-ESI-MS and UPLC-UV, respectively. Increasing the intensity of UV irradiation promoted the release of iodide. Destruction pathways of iopamidol photolysis were proposed. Enhanced formation of I-DBPs were observed after iopamidol photolysis followed by disinfection processes including chlorine, monochloramine and chlorine dioxide. With the increase of UV fluence, I-DBPs formation were significantly promoted.

Different groups of disinfection by-products (DBPs) were studied through the degradation of iopamidol by the sequential oxidation process of ozone-low pressure ultraviolet light (O-LPUV) followed by chlorination. This paper investigates the attenuation of iopamidol under this sequential treatment and the effect of chlorine contact time (30 min versus 3 days) to control the formation potential of DBPs: trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetonitriles (HANs) and haloacetamides (HAMs). Thirty target DBPs among the 9 iodinated-DBPs (I-DBPs), were monitored throughout the sequential treatment.

Article Synopsis
- A novel UV-C laser was used to activate persulfate (PS) for removing iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICMs) like iohexol, iopamidol, and diatrizoate, achieving significant degradation rates.
- The main active species responsible for the degradation were sulfate radicals, with steady-state concentrations varying for each ICM, and optimal conditions found at pH 7.0 and 1.0 mM PS concentration resulting in over 93% degradation of iohexol in just 40 seconds.
- The study also highlighted that bicarbonate and chloride ions inhibited the degradation process, and advanced techniques like DFT calculations and cyclic voltammetry were used to understand reaction pathways and the role of electron shutt

Organic micropollutants (MPs) are increasingly detected in water resources, which can be a concern for human health and the aquatic environment. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation based advanced oxidation processes (AOP) such as low-pressure mercury vapor arc lamp UV/HO can be applied to abate these MPs. During UV/HO treatment, MPs are abated primarily by photolysis and reactions with hydroxyl radicals (OH), which are produced in situ from HO photolysis.

UV/sulfite process in the absence of oxygen was previously applied as an advanced reduction process for the removal of many halogenated organics and inorganics in water and wastewater. Here, it was found that UV/sulfite process in the presence of oxygen could act as an advanced oxidation process. Specifically, the oxysulfur radicals (including sulfate radical (SO) and sulfite/peroxomonosulfate radicals (SO/SO)) played important roles on the degradation of iopamidol (IPM) as a typical iodinated contrast media (ICM).

Iodinated contrast media (ICMs) are a class of X-ray contrast media worldwide utilized for radiographic procedures. Since they cannot be removed efficiently during water treatment, they can be found in surface and groundwater. In this work, a rapid and sensitive direct injection liquid chromatography-tandem (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous analysis of seven ICMs media (iopamidol, ioxitalamic acid, diatrizoic acid, iothalamic acid, iohexol, iomeprol and iopromide) in complex aqueous matrices has been developed and validated.
