Article Synopsis
- High levels of pharmaceuticals in urine create a need for effective degradation methods before they enter the environment, prompting research into using peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for this purpose.
- The study found that PMS can efficiently degrade acetaminophen in hydrolyzed urine, primarily through singlet oxygen as the main reactive species, while other urine components either had little effect or enhanced the degradation process.
- Photo-irradiation improved degradation efficiency, and the research identified nine intermediate products and proposed degradation pathways for acetaminophen, confirming PMS as a potent oxidant for treating contaminants in urine.
