Increasing attention has been paid to persulfate due to its high efficiency in degrading organic pollutants. This paper investigated the transformation of a selected polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) by sodium persulfate without activators at near ambient temperature (10-40 degrees C). The results showed that 2,4,4'-CB was completely decomposed by persulfate at 30 degrees C in 8 h. The products were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and transformation pathways could be divided into two steps as dechlorination and hydroxylation. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique was used to identify the generated radical species at different pH values at ambient temperature. The results showed that sulfate radicals (SO4 center dot-) were predominant under acidic condition and hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) were predominant under basic condition. This behavior was also confirmed by the quenching studies and kinetic model. Decreasing the solution pH resulted in increasing the degradation efficiency of 2,4,4'-CB. Moreover, the degradation of other PCBs such as 2-CB, 4-CB, 2,4-CB, 2,4'-CB, and 2,4,6-CB with persulfate was examined. The findings of this study can provide guidance in the remediation of PCBs contaminated soil and water with persulfate. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved:
