AB  - The presence of antibiotics and their metabolites in natural waters has raised 
      some concern among scientists around the world because it can lead to bacterial 
      resistance and other unknown consequences to mankind and wildlife. Persulfate 
      (PS)-driven oxidation is a new technology that has been used successfully to 
      remediate contaminated sites, but its use to treat wastewater, especially sewage 
      treatment plant (STP) effluent, is still scarce. This paper describes the effect 
      of several persulfate activation methods for degrading sulfathiazole (STZ) in 
      Milli-Q water and in STP effluent. Some parameters, such as pH, persulfate 
      concentration, presence of Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(2+), and Fe(3+), as well as 
      copper and iron organic complexes, were studied in STZ degradation. Raising the 
      pH from 5 to 9, as well as the persulfate concentration, resulted in increased 
      STZ degradation. Among the transition metals evaluated, only Fe(2+) and Cu(2+) 
      were able to activate persulfate molecules. Copper was a better activator than 
      iron since its effect lasts longer. Citrate was the best ligand evaluated 
      increasing Fe(II) activation capacity at pH 7. Hydroxylamine addition to Fe(II) 
      on persulfate system extended the Fe(II) effect. The presence of bicarbonate or 
      humic acid did not affect PS-driven degradation of STZ. Finally, the degradation 
      of STZ in STP effluent promoted by PS-driven oxidation (25  degrees C) was as fast as in 
      Milli-Q water, proving to be successful.
