abstract = {This work investigates the potential of the combination of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and simulated solar radiation (λ > 300 nm) to remove bezafibrate from aqueous solution. Different solar light filters indicate a higher removal efficiency as the wavelength range used moves to the more energetic region of the solar spectrum. The system PMS/Daylight (300–800 nm) eliminates bezafibrate (1 mg L−1) in less than 30 min under the best conditions used in this study (CPMS = 4·10−4 M) with no pH control (acidic pH). The efficiency of the process significantly improves under alkaline conditions (pH = 10), likely due to a higher PMS photolysis rate. Experiments conducted at different initial concentration of PMS and bezafibrate suggest first order regarding PMS and different from 1 in the case of bezafibrate. Intermediates generated at the beginning of the process have been tentatively identified to propose a hypothetical reaction pathway and to estimate their toxicity.},
