Abstract:In order to control and remove pesticide residues in drinking water and achieve the purpose of further purification of water quality, a degradation kinetic model was established, and a method for simulating degradation of dimethoate (DMT) in drinking water was selected. DMT is a typical organophosphorus pesticide and is difficult to remove by conventional drinking water treatment technologies. The removal efficiencies of DMT by five treatment processes including ultraviolet (UV), chlorine (Cl2), UV/Cl2, vacuum-UV/UV (VUV/UV) and VUV/UV/Cl2 were investigated comparatively. The effects of initial DMT concentration, Cl2 dosage, solution pH, co-existing natural organic matter (NOM) and inorganic anions (${\rm{NO}}_3^ - $, Cl?, ${\rm{HCO}}_3^ - $, ${\rm{SO}}_4^ {2-} $) in water on DMT degradation by VUV/UV/Cl2 were explored. The results indicated that the VUV/UV/Cl2 process was the most efficient one to remove DMT. The DMT removal rate decreased with the increase of its initial concentration. The increase of the Cl2 dosage to a certain extent improved DMT removal, and the increase of pH also facilitated DMT removal. NOM exhibited a certain inhibition on DMT removal. Co-existing inorganic anions including ${\rm{NO}}_3^ - $, Cl? and ${\rm{HCO}}_3^ - $ in water could capture the hydroxyl radicals (HO·) generated in the reaction system, thus inhibiting DMT removal, while ${\rm{SO}}_4^ {2-} $ reacted with HO· very slowly and did not show any inhibitory effect. Key words:VUV/UV/Cl2/ dimethoate/ removal/ drinking water treatment.
