Bisphenol A, bisphenol S, and fluconazole are ubiquitous environmental pollutants and their removal from water is of utmost importance. As the biodegradation of these compounds is usually not enough effective, often other degradation methods are required. The study presents the difference between biodegradation and photo-Fenton degradation with a much higher efficiency obtained in the latter process. Levels of biodegradation and chemical degradation were assessed based on high-performance liquid chromatography determination. Optimization of the photo-Fenton removal of bisphenol A, bisphenol S, and fluconazole resulted in about 100 % primary degradation of both bisphenols during 10–20 min and almost 90 % primary degradation of fluconazole within an hour. Degradation products formed in the process were identified using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry and showed central scission of bisphenol S with the formation of phenol and sulfuric acid while for bisphenol A and fluconazole the oxidation resulted in much smaller structural changes.
