Quantitation of Hydroxyl Radicals from Photolysis of Fe(III)-Citrate Complexes in Aerobic Water (5 pp)

Background For their high photoreactivity, Fe(III)-carboxylate complexes are important sources of H2O2 for some atmospheric and surface waters. Citrate is one kind of carboxylate, which can form complexes with Fe(III). In our previous study, we have applied Fe(III)-citrate complexes to degrade and decolorize dyes in aqueous solutions both under UV light and sunlight. Results have shown that carboxylic acids can promote the photodegradation efficiency. It is indicated that the photolysis of Fe(III)-citrate complexes may cause the formation of some reactive species (e. g. H2O2 and ·OH). This work is attempted to quantify hydroxyl radicals generated in the aqueous solution containing Fe(III)-citrate complexes and to interpret the photoreactivity of Fe(III)-citrate complexes for degrading organic compounds. Methods By using benzene as the scavenger to produce phenol, the photogeneration of ·OH in the aqueous solution containing Fe (III)-citrate complexes was determined by HPLC. Results and Discussion In the aqueous solution containing 60.0/30.0 mM Fe(III)/citrate and 7.0 mM benzene at pH 3.0, 96.66 mM ·OH was produced after irradiation by a 250W metal halide light (l ≥ 313 nm) for 160 minutes. Effects of initial pH value and concentrations of Fe(III) and citrate on ·OH radical generation were all examined. The results show that the greatest photoproduction of ·OH in the aqueous solution (pH ranged from 3.0 to 7.0) was at pH 3.0. The photoproduction of ·OH increased with increasing Fe(III) or citrate concentrations. Conclusion In the aqueous solutions containing Fe(III)-citrate complexes, ·OH radicals were produced after irradiation by a 250W metal halide light. It can be concluded that Fe(III)-citrate complexes are important sources of ·OH radicals for some atmospheric and surface waters. Recommendations and Outlook It is believed that the photolysis of Fe(III)-citrate complexes in the presence of oxygen play an important role in producing ·OH both in atmospheric waters and surface water where high concentrations of ferric ions and citrate ions exist. The photoproduction of ·OH has a high oxidizing potential for the degradation of a wide variety of natural and anthropogenic organic and inorganic substances. We can use this method for toxic organic pollutants such as organic dyes and pesticides.

腐殖质及其模型化合物的H2O2光化学生成研究

在模拟太阳光下研究了多种腐殖质及其模型化合物的过氧化氢（H₂O₂）生成动力学,并对其生成机制进行了探讨.结果表明不同来源或不同形式的腐殖质在模拟太阳光照射下均能产生H₂O₂.不同腐殖质生成H₂O₂速率差异不大,范围为6.379~15.784nmol/（L·min）,腐殖酸生成H₂O₂速率略快于富里酸.对于腐殖质模型化合物,邻苯二酚、间苯二酚、对苯二酚、苯醌、邻茴香胺、对茴香胺、水杨酸和2,6-二甲氧基-1,4-苯醌等8种模型化合物没有产生明显的H₂O₂,而藜芦醇、对氨基苯甲酸、3,5-二羟基苯甲酸（DHBA）、2,5-二羟基-1,4-苯醌、苯酚、苯甲酸和苯胺等7种化合物均可检测到H₂O₂产生.但其产生H₂O₂的速率差异较大,相差1~2个数量级,生成H₂O₂速率最快的化合物为2,5-二羟基-1,4-苯醌和DHBA,较慢的为苯酚、苯甲酸和对氨基苯甲酸.基于腐殖质生成H₂O₂机制,推测典型模型化合物DHBA的H₂O₂生成机制可能为光照条件下该化合物跃迁为单重激发态,该激发态发生分子内电子转移,生成还原性自由基中间体,该中间体和O₂反应,生成了超氧负离子（O₂·^-）,随后与水中H⁺反应生成了H₂O₂.
