The degradation capacity of advanced oxidants generated from oxygen reduction was investigated in model effluent containing chlorobenzene

aniline and benzene through the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Intermediate products of the degradation process were determined by GC-MS

and they contributed to specify the degradation pathways of monoaromatic compounds. The study particularly focused on the influence of the dosage of the oxidant

pH and the initial concentration of organic compounds on the degradation effectiveness. When the dosage of oxidant was 4 wt% and the pH was 7

the maximum degradation rates of 74.83% chlorobenzene

70.32% aniline and 37.69% benzene were achieved. Furthermore

microwave was applied to intensify the oxidation process under optimal operation conditions

and the degradation rates were increased to 87.85% chlorobenzene

89.11% aniline and 39.03% benzene

respectively.
