Oxidative Degradation of Amoxicillin in Aqueous Solution by Thermally Activated Persulfate

Figure 1

Effects of reaction temperature on AMO degradation by TAP (a). Plot of ln(C/C₀) versus reaction time t for k_obs determination with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model (b). Plot of ln k_obs versus 1/T for E_a determination with the Arrhenius equation (c). Experimental conditions: [AMO]₀ = 0.1 mM; [PS]₀ = 10 mM; T = 35–60°C; reaction time = 330 min.
