Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma combined with Fe²⁺ for periodate (PI) activation was proposed for emerging contaminants treatment. The feasible, activation mechanism, degradation mechanism were comprehensively analyzed. Results showed that within 6 min treatment time, the degradation efficiency of sulfadiazine (SDZ) could reach 68.1%, 78.5% and 90.2% in DBD, DBD/PI and DBD/PI/Fe²⁺, respectively. The energy efficiency can also be improved from 47.24 mg/kWh (DBD) to 78.43 mg/kWh (DBD/PI/Fe²⁺). Compared with DBD system, the PI activation energy barrier in DBD/Fe²⁺ system is significantly decreased. Electron spin resonance (ESR) proved the existence of ^•OH, ¹O₂ and ^•O₂⁻ in DBD/PI/Fe²⁺ system, and the corresponding intensity are higher than that of DBD/PI system. The quenching experiments shown that ^•OH, ¹O₂, ^•O₂⁻ and electron play important role for SDZ degradation. Reactive species dominant to SDZ degradation was explored by LC–MS and density functional theory (DFT) analysis. Higher input power, acid condition and higher conductivity were favorable to SDZ degradation. DBD/PI/Fe²⁺ system has good effect in treating other emerging contaminants and obtains good environmental adaptability.
