The activation of potassium persulfate (KPS) by FeII-NTA complex has been investigated to degrade ibuprofen in aqueous solutions under neutral pH conditions. The results showed that ibuprofen degradation by FeII-NTA/KPS process was not successful due to the rapid oxidation of FeII-NTA complex by dissolved oxygen. However, an efficient degradation of ibuprofen was achieved by FeII-NTA/KPS process in the presence of hydroxylamine (HA). It was evident that the steady-state FeIIconcentration in FeII-NTA/HA/KPS process was much higher than that in FeII-NTA/KPS process because of the quick regeneration of FeII-NTA complex by HA. The suitable conditions for FeII-NTA/HA/KPS process were obtained at [FeII] = 0.1 mM, [NTA/Fe] = 1:1, [HA/Fe] = 20:1 and [KPS/Fe] = 30:1. The generation of sulfate radical (SO4
