Abstract:The parameters,such as reaction time,pH value,UV light intensity,temperature and initial concentration are investigated on the degradation of MCRR by ultraviolet(UV) radiation in micropolluted water,respectively.The results show that the degradation rate of MCRR is improved with the reaction time and higher UV intensity.The initial pH acted as a key factor to the degradation rate of MCRR.The neutral and weak acidic solutions were more appropriate to the degradation of MCRR,and the optimal pH value was 5 in this study.The strong acidic and alkaline solutions were inhibitory to the degradation of MC-RR.The relationship between degradation rate and temperature was linear.MCRR was removed quickly in the lower concentration solution,and the processes conform to secondorder kinetics model.At the UV light intensity 153 μW·cm-2,the MCRR concentration decreased from 251.778 3 μg·L-1 to 0.801 2 μg·L-1within 160 min at pH 7.0 and 10 ℃,and the degradation rate was 99.68%.
