The study reveals that 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) can effectively accelerate the oxidation of bisphenol A (BPA) during treatment with permanganate (Mn(VII)). The reactive species, HBT• radical and MnO2 intermediates, play a significant role in enhancing the oxidation process. The pH conditions also influence the contributions of different reactive species.
1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), as one of the synthetic redox-mediators, significantly accelerates the oxidation of bisphenol A (BPA) during treatment with permanganate (Mn(VII)). The reaction between Mn(VII) and HBT produces HBT & BULL; radical and MnO2 intermediates which can accelerate BPA oxidation by reacting with the organic contaminants in parallel with Mn(VII). This study aimed at quantifying the relative contributions of the reactive species in oxidizing BPA at different pH conditions. At pH <= 6, the relative contributions (R) ranked as R(HBT & BULL; radical) > R(Mn(VII)) > R(in-situ formed MnO2), but at higher pH conditions the order switched. At pH >= 7, R (Mn(VII)) > R(HBT & BULL; radical) and in-situ formed MnO2 contributed negligibly. These findings fill a critical knowledge gap and provide mechanistic insights into organic contaminant treatment processes combining permanganate with redox-mediators like HBT.
