Microbial immobilization of 15N from legume residues in soils of differing textures: Measurement by persulphate oxidation and ammonia diffusion methods

In the present work, the degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) and its mineralization by a UV/Vis-based persulphate activation process was investigated. Firstly, a screening of processes as direct photolysis, persulphate alone and persulphate activated by radiation was performed. The incidence of radiation demonstrated to have an important role in the oxidant activation, allowing to achieve the highest PNP and total organic carbon (TOC) removals. The maximum PNP oxidation (100%) and mineralization (61.6%)—both after 2 h of reaction time—were reached when using T = 70 °C, (S2O82−) = 6.4 g/L and I = 500 W/m2. The influence of radiation type (ultraviolet/visible, visible or simulated solar light) was also evaluated, being found that the source with the highest emission of ultraviolet radiation (UV/visible) allowed to achieve the best oxidation efficiency; however, solar radiation also reached very-good performance. According to quenching experiments, the sulphate radical is key in the activated persulphate oxidation process, but the hydroxyl radical also plays an important role.
