Trimethoprim (TMP) is a typical antibiotic to treat infectious disease, which is among the most commonly detected antibacterial agents in natural waters and municipal wastewaters. In the present study, the impacts of dissolved oxygen (DO) on the oxidation efficiency and pathways of TMP by reaction with sulfate radicals (SO₄^·−) were investigated. Our results revealed that the presence of DO was favourable for TMP degradation. Specifically, TMP would react initially with SO₄^·− via electron-transfer process to form a carbon-centered radical. In the absence of oxygen, the carbon-centered radical could undergo hydrolysis to produce α-hydroxytrimethoprim (TMP−OH), followed by the further oxidation which generated α-ketotrimethoprim (TMP = O). However, in the presence of oxygen, the carbon-centered radical would alternatively combine with oxygen, leading to a sequential reaction in which peroxyl radical and a tetroxide were formed, and finally generated TMP−OH and TMP=O simultaneously. The proposed pathways were further confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results obtained in this study would emphasize the significance of DO on the oxidation of organic micro-pollutants by SO₄^·−.
