The degradation of two endocrine disrupting compounds: n-butylparaben (BP) and 4-tert-octylphenol (OP) in the H2O2/UV system was studied. The effect of operating variables: initial hydrogen peroxide concentration, initial substrate concentration, pH of the reaction solution and photon fluency rate of radiation at 254 nm on reaction rate was investigated. The influence of hydroxyl radical scavengers, humic acid and nitrate anion on reaction course was also studied. A very weak scavenging effect during BP degradation was observed indicating reactions different from hydroxyl radical oxidation. The second-order rate constants of BP and OP with OH radicals were estimated to be 4.8×109 and 4.2×109 M−1 s−1, respectively. For BP the rate constant equal to 2.0×1010 M−1 s−1was also determined using water radiolysis as a source of hydroxyl radicals.
