Photooxidation of atrazine and its influence on disinfection byproducts formation during post-chlorination: effect of solution pH and mechanism

Abstract Partial photooxidation of micropollutants may lead to various degradation intermediates, obviously affecting disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formation during the post-chlorination process. The photooxidation of atrazine (ATZ) in aqueous solutions with low-pressure mercury UV lamps in UV, UV/...
