The degradation of emerging micro-contaminant propylparaben (PP) by persulfate oxidation was studied in this work. The activation of sodium persulfate (SPS) was done utilizing raw red mud (RM), a by-product of bauxite processing. RM with a specific surface area of similar to 10 m(2)/g is rich in metal oxides, including Fe, Al, Ti, Si, Na and Cu, as this has been evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Experiments were conducted at RM concentrations between 0.5 and 4 g/L, SPS concentrations of I and 2 g/L and PP concentrations between 0.4 and 6.4 mg/L at pH = 3 in ultrapure water. PP degradation, approached by a pseudo-first order rate expression, increased with increasing SPS and RM concentrations (for the latter up to 2 g/L) and decreasing PP concentration. Acidic conditions favor iron dissolution, whose extent depends on the operating conditions; leached iron contributes significantly to PP degradation. The reaction is retarded in environmental matrices, i.e. bottled water and secondary treated wastewater highlighting possible interactions amongst RM, PP, inherent water constituents and reactive species; the latter include sulfate and hydroxyl radicals as this has been evidenced by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. SPS activation by RM was also coupled with other activators, i.e. simulated solar irradiation, 20 kHz ultrasound or heating to 40 degrees C and 50 degrees C in an attempt to evaluate the level of synergy. Depending on the integrated processes and the operating conditions in each case, the effect was negative (i.e. -177% for solar light), near zero or positive (i.e. 48% for ultrasound at 8 W/L).
