Abstract
16
Permanganate was activated by UV photolysis at 254 nm, resulting in the efficient degradation of
17
micropollutants. The degradation of four probe molecules (i.e., nitrobenzene, benzoic acid,
18
terephthalic acid and parachlorobenzoic-acid) and two micropollutants (i.e., gemfibrozil and
19
nalidixic acid) resistant to permanganate oxidation, was enhanced by the UV/permanganate system,
20
with pseudo first-order rate constants (k′) of 0.065-0.678 min-1 under the experimental conditions.
21
Hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and Mn(V) peroxide were responsible for the enhancement, which were
22
produced during the activation of permanganate by UV irradiation. The quantum yield of HO• was
23
0.025 (± 0.001) mol Es-1 in the system. HO• oxidation primarily accounted for the degradation of
24
nitrobenzene and gemfibrozil, while both HO• and Mn(V) were responsible for the degradation of
25
benzoic acid, terephthalic acid, para-chlorobenzoic acid and nalidixic acid. This study is the first
26
report on the activation of permanganate by UV irradiation for the abatement of micropollutants in
27
water treatment, which may lead to a new advanced oxidation process relying on both HO• and
28
reactive manganese species.

INTRODUCTION
31
Permanganate is widely used in water treatment to control organic pollutants.1 Compared with
32
other oxidants, the advantages of permanganate are its effectiveness over a wide pH range, easy and
33
safe storage and delivery, chemical stability, low cost, and the lack of toxic byproducts.1 However,
34
permanganate is a selective oxidant and has been reported to only react with pollutants containing
35
electron rich organic moieties (ERM) such as phenols and olefins,2-4 whereas it is less effective to
36
some micropollutants such as ciprofloxacin, lincomycin, and trimethoprim.5
37
To enhance the degradation of pollutants, some methods have been used to activate
38
permanganate to produce reactive manganese intermediates such as trivalent manganese (Mn(III)),
39
hypomanganate (Mn(V)) and manganate (Mn(VI)).6, 7 For instance, permanganate can be activated
40
by bisulfite to produce Mn(III), which rapidly reacts with aniline and bisphenol A with second rate
41
constants of 105−106 M-1 s-1.8, 9 Permanganate can also be activated to produce Mn(III) by some
42
ligands, such as pyrophosphate (PP), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and nitrilotriacetic
43
acid (NTA).2, 10 Mn(V) could be generated through the reduction of permanganate by As(III) under
44
acidic conditions,11 while Mn(VI) could be generated through the reduction of permanganate by
45
sulfite or temperature heating under alkaline conditions.6,
46
important intermediates via the transformation of permanganate by some polysaccharides under
47
alkaline conditions.14,
48
benzylamine and primary/secondary alcohols.11, 16 Mn(VI) rapidly reacts with the phenolate ion via
49
electron transfer,17 and primary/secondary alcohols with second rate constants of ~105 M-1 s-1.18 Thus,
50
activation of permanganate is a promising way to enhance the utilization of permanganate and

promote the removal of micropollutants. However, the current activation methods, such as bisulfite,
52
ligands and As(III), involve the addition of inorganic or organic reagents, which are toxic or lead to
53
an increase in organic carbon and thus are not applicable to water treatment.
54
UV is commonly used for disinfection and oxidation in water treatment.19 Additionally, UV has
55
been used to activate oxidants such as H2O2,20, 21 chlorine22-24 and persulfate25, 26 to produce highly
56
reactive radicals such as HO•, Cl• and SO4•- for the abatement of micropollutants.27,
57
hypothesize that UV is a possible method to activate permanganate and produce highly reactive
58
species. MnIIIO2- and MnIVO2 have been suggested as the ultimate products of permanganate
59
photodecomposition,29 while the formation of MnVO4- and MnVIO42- intermediates in the system has
60
also been proposed.29-32 The production of the intermediates from the photolysis of permanganate
61
indicates that the UV/permanganate system might be a promising technology for water treatment.
62
However, the efficiency and the underlying mechanisms of the UV/permanganate process for
63
micropollutant degradation are totally unknown.

Experimental Procedures. The photochemical experiments were performed in a 700-mL,
74
magnetically stirred cylindrical borosilicate glass reactor with a quartz tube in the center, into which
75
a low-pressure mercury lamp (Heraeus GPH 212T5L/4, 10 W) was placed, as described previously.24
76
The average UV fluence rate was determined to be 2.13 mW cm-2 by iodide/iodate chemical
77
actinometry (Text S2).33 The temperature was maintained at 25 (± 0.2) °C.
78
A 700-mL testing solution containing 5 µM of the target compound, buffered at pH 7.4 using 2.5
79
mM borate buffer, was dosed with the permanganate stock solution to achieve a concentration of 100
80
µM and was simultaneously exposed to UV irradiation. Samples were collected at different time
81
intervals and the residual oxidants were quenched with ascorbic acid at a molar ratio of ascorbic acid
82
to permanganate of 5:1. Control tests, which involved exposure to either UV photolysis or
83
permanganate oxidation alone, were carried out in a similar manner. Another test was conducted in a
84
similar manner to determine the formation of HO• by spiking t-butanol into the UV/permanganate
85
system and monitoring the formation of formaldehyde.34, 35 One data set (shown with error bars in
86
each figure) was duplicated for quality control. The error bars in all the data plots represent the
87
maximum and minimum of the experimental data of the duplicated test results.
88
Analytical Methods. The concentrations of nitrobenzene, benzoic acid, terephthalic acid,
89
para-chlorobenzoic acid, gemfibrozil and nalidixic acid were determined using a high-performance
90
liquid chromatography (HPLC, Agilent 1260) equipped with an Agilent C18 column (Poroshell, 4.6
91
× 50 mm, 2.7 µm) and a diode array detector. Formaldehyde was determined by HPLC after
92
derivatization with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.36 A UV−visible spectrophotometer (Shimadzu,
5
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

93
UV-2600) was used to monitor the absorbance at 200−800 nm in the solution in the absence of
94
organics. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy (Bruker EMX-E spectrometer,
95
Germany) was applied for in situ investigation of radical generation, using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline
96
N-oxide (DMPO) as the spin trapping reagent. The particle size distribution of MnO2 was
97
determined by a laser particle size analyzer (Malvern, Mastersizer 3000).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
99
Degradation of Micropollutants in the UV/Permanganate Process.
100
The degradation of four probe molecules (i.e., nitrobenzene, benzoic acid, terephthalic acid
101
and para-chlorobenzoic acid) and two micropollutants (i.e., gemfibrozil and nalidixic acid) was
102
enhanced by the UV/permanganate system, with pseudo first-order rate constants (k′) of 0.065, 0.182,
103
0.293, 0.318, 0.110 and 0.678 min-1 respectively, at a permanganate dosage of 100 µM and pH 7.4
104
(Figure 1). Permanganate was insignificant for their degradation. UV photolysis at 254 nm was the
105
most efficient for the degradation of para-chlorobenzoic acid with k′ of 0.056 min-1 and the quantum
106
yield of 0.106 mol Es-1 (Table S1). The efficient degradation of selected micropollutants by
107
UV/permanganate indicated that some reactive species may be produced during the co-exposure of
108
UV and permanganate.
109
The addition of t-butanol inhibited the degradation of nitrobenzene and gemfibrozil more
110
significantly than benzoic acid, terephthalic acid, para-chlorobenzoic acid and nalidixic acid. The k′
111
by reactive species of nitrobenzene and gemfibrozil decreased by 100% and 93.5% in the presence of
112
2 mM t-butanol, while those of benzoic acid, terephthalic acid, para-chlorobenzoic acid and nalidixic
113
acid were suppressed by 71.0%, 48.2%, 52.7% and 0.8% respectively (Figure 2). The nearly
6

114
complete inhibition of nitrobenzene and gemfibrozil degradation by t-butanol might be attributed to
115
the scavenging effect on HO•. As for the other compounds, their degradation should be attributable to
116
other reactive species in the presence of t-butanol, which might be reactive manganese species
117
(RMnS). When the concentration of t-butanol increased from 2 mM to 10 mM, k′s of the four probe
118
molecules were not further inhibited, indicating that RMnS may not be scavenged by t-butanol.
119
Role of HO• in the UV/Permanganate Process.
120
To investigate the existence of HO•, EPR was used. A typical 1:2:2:1 quartet signal of
121
DMPO-OH spin adduct with spin Hamiltonian parameters (aN = 14.9 G, aH = 14.9 G, g = 2.006)37
122
was generated in UV/permanganate, consistent with that in UV/H2O2 (Figure 3a). As for UV alone or
123
permanganate alone, no signal was observed. Note that the other three-line signal of oxidized DMPO
124
radical was also observed.38, 39
125
To investigate the quantum yield of HO• in the UV/permanganate system, t-butanol was added
126
to scavenge HO• and further form formaldehyde, whose formation could indicate the yield of HO•.34,
127
35
128
generated in the UV/permanganate system increased linearly with increasing reaction time, and
129
increasing the t-butanol concentration from 1 mM to 10 mM didn’t enhance the generation of
130
formaldehyde (Figure S1a). Thus, the quantum yield of HO• was determined to be 0.0253 (± 0.001)
131
mol Es-1 at pH 7.4 (Shown in Text S3 and Figure S1b). The quantum yield of HO• in
132
UV/permanganate was much lower than those of UV/H2O2, UV/chlorine and UV/NH2Cl processes
133
(Table S2). However, the higher molar absorption coefficient (ε254 nm) of permanganate (637 M-1 cm-1,
134
determined in this study) than other oxidants made the generation of HO• and the degradation
The HO• yield is about four-fold of the formaldehyde yield.34 The concentration of formaldehyde

135
efficiency of the four probe micropollutants in UV/permanganate comparable with those in other UV
136
based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (Table S2 and Figure S2).
137
Varying conditions could alter the quantum yield of HO•. Increasing pH from 4.0 to 9.5 reduced
138
the quantum yield by 50.4% (Figure 3b and Figure S3a). The decreasing quantum yield with
139
increasing pH indicated that H+ may be involved in the generation of HO•. Note that the ε254 nm of
140
permanganate was stable with increasing pH (Figure S3b). Also, the quantum yield decreased by
141
42.8% with increasing permanganate dosage from 20 µM to 100 µM (Figure 3b and Figure S4), due
142
to the greater filter effect of UV light at higher permanganate dosage.
143
Role of Reactive Manganese Species (RMnS) in the UV/Permanganate System.
144
Theoretically, permanganate can be reduced to Mn(VI), Mn(V), Mn(IV), Mn(III) and Mn(II).
145
Mn(VI) was tested to be not reactive with nitrobenzene and benzoic acid (Figure S5), and it could
146
only exist in alkaline condition.6 Also, Mn(II) and Mn(IV) usually act as stable manganese reduction
147
products, and they are not reactive with most micropollutants.2, 9 Therefore, the RMnS may contain
148
Mn(V) and Mn(III), which are very reactive and unstable. Figure S6a shows the time-resolved
149
absorbance spectra of the UV/permanganate system. The absorbance at 525 nm (Mn(VII)) decreased
150
from 0.247 cm-1 to 0.209 cm-1 with increasing time from 0 to 30 min, while that at 375 nm increased
151
from 0.062 cm-1 to 0.517 cm-1, due to the accumulation of in situ formed MnO2.40 In the presence of
152
50 mM PP, the absorbance at 300−500 nm was inhibited significantly (Figure S6b), probably due to
153
the complexation of MnO2 with PP (Figure S7). Figure S8 confirms that the MnO2 particles were
154
produced in UV/permanganate, but it disappeared when adding 50 mM PP.
155
Mn(III) was recently reported to be an important oxidant in permanganate/bisulfite and

156
permanganate/Mn(II)/PP systems.9,
157
UV/permanganate, additional tests were conducted. (1) The characteristic peak of Mn(III) was
158
compared with permanganate/Mn(II)/PP system. By comparing Figures S6 and S9, the featured peak
159
of Mn(III) at 260 nm10 was not recorded in UV/permanganate system. Also note that Mn(III) was not
160
produced by permanganate alone in the presence of 50 mM PP (Figure S10). (2) The effect of PP on
161
the degradation of nitrobenzene and benzoic acid by UV/permanganate was investigated (Figure
162
S11). Their degradation was not suppressed by PP, which can react with Mn(III) to form Mn(III)-PP
163
complex. This result indicated that Mn(III) was not the dominant species for the degradation of
164
nitrobenzene and benzoic acid, as Mn(III)-PP was not reactive toward them (Figure S12). If Mn(III)
165
was important for the degradation of nitrobenzene and benzoic acid, the addition of PP would
166
compete with the target compounds to form Mn(III)-PP and to inhibit their degradation. Above all,
167
Mn(III) was ruled out.

micropollutants in UV/permanganate. As for the reactivity of Mn(V), it can oxidize α-C of primary
173
and secondary alcohols to aldehydes through hydrogen transfer.11 As such, it is rational to expect that
174
t-butanol cannot be oxidized by Mn(V) due to the lack of hydrogen at the α-C. So, the obvious
175
degradation of benzoic acid, terephthalic acid, para-chlorobenzoic acid and nalidixic acid by
176
UV/permanganate with the presence of t-butanol (Figure 2) was very likely attributable to Mn(V),

Thus, Mn(V) was proposed as the main RMnS for the degradation of

177
while the negligible degradation of nitrobenzene and gemfibrozil indicated their resistance to Mn(V).
178
This result also indicates that Mn(V) is a selective oxidant, which reactivity is compound specific.
179
In summary, the mechanism for the UV photolysis of permanganate is proposed in Scheme 1.
180
The UV photolysis of permanganate forms Mn(V) peroxide. The UV photolysis of O-O in Mn(V)
181
peroxide is likely to form HO•, similar like that of the UV photolysis of H2O2. Meanwhile, the
182
disproportionation 13 or UV photolysis of Mn(V) peroxide forms MnO2 as the final product.30, 40

Engineering Implications.
187
UV and permanganate have been widely used for water treatment. This study is the first to show
188
the synergistic effect of co-exposure to UV photolysis and permanganate for micropollutant
189
degradation. The UV/permanganate system can produce reactive species of HO• and Mn(V) peroxide.
190
The former is a broad-spectrum oxidant, while the latter is selective. The multiple reactive species in
191
the system can complement each other in degrading a variety of contaminants. HO• is firstly
192
identified and proved in the UV/permanganate system. Mn(V) is a new reactive species in water
193
treatment, whose mechanism on micropollutant degradation is on-going in our group. The higher
194
removal efficiencies of benzoic acid, terephthalic acid and para-chlorobenzoic acid by
195
UV/permanganate compared with UV/H2O2 were responsible for both Mn(V) and HO• in 10

UV/permanganate (Figure S2).
197
Further research is needed to incorporate the effects of operational conditions (such as
198
permanganate dosage) and water matrix components (such as pH, dissolved organic matter and
199
alkalinity), to evaluate the application potential of the UV/permanganate process in real water
200
treatment. Initial experiments with treatment of nitrobenzene and benzoic acid indicated that: (1) the
201
degradation of nitrobenzene and benzoic acid was favored at acidic condition (Figure 4a) and higher
202
dosages of permanganate (Figure 4b); (2) nitrobenzene and benzoic acid could be efficiently
203
degraded with the presence of 1 mg L-1 natural organic matter (NOM), which are ubiquitous in
204
natural water and drinking water (Figure 4c). Thus, the UV/permanganate system can be a promising
205
AOP for the abatement of micropollutants in water treatment.
