In this work, the use of commercial UV LED lamps (395 nm, IP 68 certification, and 0.08 W) was evaluated for the reduction of Ibuprofen (IBP) concentration in an aqueous solution. The measurements of pH and initial concentration of the PPI in the solution were the experimental variables used to determine its effect on the percentage of reduction of the drug. The maximum reduction of PPI concentration reached was 93.64% at initial pH 7 and 20 mg / L of initial PPI concentration, the analysis of the results indicated that the initial pH of the solution does not affect the decrease in PPI concentration, but the pH of the water decreased in each test, which indicates the formation of CO2 and its subsequent dilution in the water, a fact that suggests the mineralization of the IBP. The effect of concentration is relevant until reaching a concentration of 20 mg / L and from this value, the results do not differ, since the number of lamps and reaction time remains constant, in addition, the decrease in pH makes the molecular shape PPI predominates, a fact that affects the degradation path of this pollutant. The energy applied in the analyzed process was 4.8 kWh. The use of commercial UV Led lamps can be an advantage for tertiary wastewater treatment, these lamps are easily available, submersible in water, and lower energy consumption than commercial UV lamps.
