1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:

The study used a photochemical reactor with an Hg-MDEL for photodegradation of fluoxetine (Prozac?). Methods included photolytic and kinetic assays, hydroxyl radical quantification using coumarin and its hydroxylated products, and analysis of degradation mechanisms.

2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:

Prozac? solutions at concentrations of 33, 101, and 134 μmol L-1 were prepared from stock solutions. Coumarin (COU), 7-hydroxycoumarin (7HC), and 4-hydroxycoumarin (4HC) were used for hydroxyl radical studies. All solutions were prepared with analytical grade chemicals and ultra-pure water.

3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:

Equipment included a MARS 6 microwave system (CEM), Hg-MDEL lamp (UMEX GmbH), spectroradiometer SPR-4002 (Luzchem), HPLC Agilent 1220 Infinity LC (Agilent) with Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column, digital potentiometer Luca 210 (Lucadema), and selective ion electrode for fluoride. Reagents included Prozac?, coumarin derivatives, acetonitrile, methanol, DMSO, and phosphate buffer.

4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:

Samples were irradiated in the Hg-MDEL reactor with varying microwave powers (10 to 1800 W) and times (up to 2.0 min). After irradiation, samples were analyzed by HPLC-UV/Vis for compound quantification, and fluoride and pH were measured. Hydroxyl radical formation was assessed through COU degradation and 7HC/4HC formation.
