The initial reactions of organics with (OH)-O-center dot are important to understand their transformations and fates in advanced oxidation processes in aqueous phase. Herein, the kinetics and mechanism of (OH)-O-center dot-initiated degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP), an antibiotic of fluoroquinolone class, are obtained using density functional and computational kinetics methods. All feasible mechanisms are considered, including H-abstraction, (OH)-O-center dot-addition, and sequential electron proton transfer. Results showed that the H-abstraction is the dominant reaction pathway, and the product radicals P7-H, P9-H, and P10-H are the dominating intermediates. The aqueous phase rate coefficients for the (OH)-O-center dot-triggered reaction of ciprofloxacin are calculated from 273 K to 323 K to examine the temperature dependent effect, and the theoretical value of 6.07 x 10(9) M-1 s(-1) at 298 K is close to the corresponding experimental data. Moreover, the intermediates P7-H, P9-H, and P10-H could easily transform to several stable products in the presence of O-2, HO2 center dot, and (OH)-O-center dot. The peroxy radical, which is generated from the incorporation of H-abstraction product radicals (P7-H, P9-H, and P10-H) with O-2, prefers to produce HO(2)(center dot )into the surrounding through direct concerted elimination rather than the indirect mechanism. In addition, the peroxy radical could react with HO2 center dot via triplet and singlet routes, and the former is more favorable due to its smaller barrier compared with the latter. The hydroxyl-substituted CIP has higher activity than its parent compound in their reactions with (OH)-O-center dot due to its lower barrier and faster rate. In addition, the -NHC(O)-containing compound IM3-P10-H-4 is harmful to aquatic fish and is the primary product in the (OH)-O-center dot-rich environment according to the ecotoxicity assessment computations. This study can improve our comprehension on CIP transformation in complex water environments. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
