The photochemical role of Fe(III)-citrate complex is significant in natural waters due to its ubiquitous existence and excellent photoreactivity at near neutral pH. Although there are many reports on the photoinduced degradation of pollutants in the Fe(III)-citrate system, the optimum pH for its photoreactivity is yet not clearly understood. Here, for the first time, we demonstrated that the optimum pH was 5.5 for the photoproduction of (OH)-O-center dot in the Fe(III)-citrate system via kinetics modeling based on the steady-state approximation. According to the experimental results, the (OH)-O-center dot photoproduction increased with increasing pH until 5.5 and then decreased in Fe(III)-citrate solution, which agreed well with the prediction trend of kinetic modeling. The effect of the common ligand oxalate on the photoreactivity of Fe(III)-citrate system was also investigated. The addition of oxalate promoted the photoproduction of (OH)-O-center dot in Fe(III)-citrate solutions, and the measured [(OH)-O-center dot](ss) increased with oxalate concentration under a fixed Fe(III)-to-citrate ratio. Little synergistic effect exists in Fe(III)-citrate-oxalate system at pH 4.0-5.5. In contrast, an appreciable synergistic effect was observed at near neutral pH (6.0-8.0). Higher oxalate-to-citrate ratio facilitated the synergistic effect. Furthermore, antifungal drug fluconazole could be removed efficiently in the Fe(III)-citrate-oxalate system. The photodegradation kinetics also verified the optimum pH of Fe(III)-citrate system and synergistic effect of oxalate. By LC-ESI-MS/MS analyses, the photoproducts of fluconazole in the Fe(III)-citrate-oxalate system were identified and the reaction mechanism involving hydroxylation substitution and subsequent cleavage of heterocyclic amine was proposed. These findings suggest that Fe(III)-citrate exhibits best photoreactivity at pH 5.5, and the coexistence of reactive ligands will enhance its photoreactivity at circumneutral pH, indicating potential application in wastewater treatment via addition of appropriate citrate and co-ligands.
