In the present investigation, the treatment of amoxicillin (AMX)-polluted water by the activated persulfate (PS) was considered. As a novel research, continuously electro-generated magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles (CEMNPs) were utilized as the activator of PS in an electrochemical medium. The PS/CEMNPs displayed a remarkable enhancement in the decomposition of AMX molecules up to 72.6% compared with lonely PS (24.8%) and CEMNPs (13.4%). On the basis of pseudo-first order reaction rate constants, the synergy percent of about 70% was achieved due to the combination of PS with CEMNPs. The adverse influence of free radical-scavenging compounds on the efficiency of the PS/CEMNPs process was in the following order: carbonate < chloride < tert-butyl alcohol < ethanol. Overall, these results proved the main role of free radical species in degrading AMX. The implementation of ultrasound (US) enhanced the performance of the PS/CEMNPs process. Nevertheless, the highest degradation efficiency of about 94% was achieved when UV₂₅₄ lamp was joined the PS/CEMNPs system. Under UV₂₅₄ and US irradiation, the results showed significant potential of the PS/CEMNPs process for degrading AMX antibiotic and generating low toxic effluent based on the activated sludge inhibition test. However, more time is needed to achieve the acceptable mineralization.

在本研究中，考虑了用活性过硫酸盐（PS）处理阿莫西林（AMX）污染的水。作为一项新的研究，连续电磁铁矿（Fe ₃ O ₄）纳米粒子（CEMNPs）被用作电化学介质中PS的活化剂。与孤独的PS（24.8％）和CEMNPs（13.4％）相比，PS / CEMNPs在AMX分子的分解中显示出显着增强，高达72.6％。在伪一级反应速率常数的基础上，由于PS与CEMNP的结合，获得了约70％的协同百分比。的自由基清除化合物上的PS / CEMNPs过程的效率的不利影响是按以下顺序：碳酸<氯化物< 叔丁醇<乙醇。总体而言，这些结果证明了自由基在降解AMX中的主要作用。超声（美国）的实施增强了PS / CEMNPs工艺的性能。但是，当将UV ₂₅₄灯加入PS / CEMNPs系统时，可获得约94％的最高降解效率。根据活性污泥抑制试验，在UV ₂₅₄和US辐射下，结果表明PS / CEMNPs工艺具有降解AMX抗生素和产生低毒废水的巨大潜力。但是，需要更多时间才能达到可接受的矿化程度。
