Enhanced photodegradation of phenolic compounds by adding TiO2 to soil in a rotary reactor

Photodegradation ofpentachlorophenol （PCP） and p-nitrophenol （PNP） in soil was carried out in a designed rotary reactor, which can provide the soil particles with continually uniform irradiation, and on a series of thin soil layers. TiO2, as a kind of environmental friendly photocatalyst, was introduced to the soil to enhance the processes. Compared with that on the soil layers, photodegradation of PCP at initial concentration of 60 mg/kg was improved dramatically in the rotary reactor no matter whether TiO2 was added, with an increase of 3.0 times in the apparent first-order rate constants. The addition of 1 wt% TiO2 furthered the improvement by 1.4 times. Without addition of TiO2, PNP （initial concentration of 60 mg/kg） photodegradation rate in the rotary reactor was similar to that on the soil layers. When 1 wt% additional TiO2 was added, PNP photodegradation was enhanced obviously, and the enhancement in the rotary reactor was 2 times of that on the soil layers, which may be attributed to the higher frequency of the contact between PNP on soil particles and the photocatalyst. The effect of soil pH and initial concentrations of the target compounds on the photodegradation in the rotary reactor was investigated. The order of the degradation rate at different soil pH was relative to the aggregation of soil particles during mixing in the rotary reactor. Photodegradation of PCP and PNP at different initial concentrations showed that addition of TiO2 to enhance the photodegradation was more suitable for contaminated soil with higher concentration of PCP, while was effective for contaminated soil at each PNP concentration tested in our study.

Photodegradation of Benthiocarb

The photodegradation of ¹⁴C-benthiocarb in water, on a glass surface, on soil and silica gel TLC plates was studied. the study was designed to obtain some information of its dissipation and photodegradation under various laboratory conditions. Benthiocarb degrades readily when exposed to either sunlight or UV light (254 nm). However, it is degraded much faster by UV light than by sunlight. Also, benthiocarb decomposes faster in water or on a glass surface or silica gel surface than on a soil surface. the half-life of benthiocarb exposed to UV light was: 1 hr on glass surface; 1.5 hrs in water; 2 hrs on silica gel TLC plate; 20 hrs on soil TLC plate. Benthiocarb in water, and exposed to sunlight, had a half-life of approximately 3 days. the following major photodegradation products were identified: 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol; 4-chlorobenzaldehyde; 4-chlorobenzoic acid.

Selective photoreduction of acetonitrile to acetaldehyde in dilute aqueous solutions

Acetonitrile is a commonly used solvent in both industry and research. The treatment of acetonitrile wastes in dilute aqueous solutions with visible light offers advantages to chemical treatment and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. This study presents the degradation of acetonitrile via a photoinduced electron transfer reaction in the presence of a photosensitizer (dye) and a sacrificial reductant under visible light. Acetonitrile photodegradation (photoreduction) was investigated utilizing a variety of sacrificial reductants and photosensitizers. Optimal results were observed in the presence of methylene green and tri-isopropanolamine with a decrease of acetonitrile in solution to 86% in 24 hours. The only photoreaction product observed was acetaldehyde and a plausible mechanism for the photochemical degradation of acetonitrile is proposed.     

Effects of design parameters on performance and cost analysis of combined ultraviolet-biofilter systems treating gaseous chlorobenzene based on mathematical modeling

A conceptual mathematical model was used to evaluate the design parameters of a combined ultraviolet (UV)-biofilter system, and perform a cost analysis. Results showed that the UV light source strength and the gas residence times in the UV system (UVRT) and biofilter (EBRT) had positive effects on the overall chlorobenzene removal efficiency of the system. High ratio of UVRT to EBRT improved the removal efficiency, suggesting that the UV system has a greater effect on the overall performance of the system compared with the biofilter. Analysis of the capital and operating costs showed that the capital costs of the standalone biofilter system were much higher than those of the standalone UV system. However, the biofilter operating costs were lower than those of the UV system. The operating costs of the combined UV-biofilter system increased with increasing UVRT/EBRT ratio, whereas its capital costs decreased.     

顺硝烯新烟碱杀虫剂环氧虫啶在水中的光降解

为了正确评估新型杀虫剂环氧虫啶(CYC)的环境风险,了解环氧虫啶在水环境中的光降解规律,探讨了CYC初始浓度、温度、初始pH值、过氧化氢浓度及硝酸根对CYC光降解的影响.结果表明,CYC的光降解符合一级动力学反应.直接光降解中,随浓度降低、温度升高,光解速率加快,环氧虫啶的反应活化能为21.27kJ/mol.通过测定CYC的pKa值为3.42以及模拟计算CYC不同粒子形式的光反应活性,可知pH值对CYC光解的影响较为复杂:酸性条件下,CYC的降解速率取决于其形态(阳离子和中性粒子)与单线态能量;碱性条件下,降解速率主要受羟基自由基数量的影响.间接光降解中,硝酸根和过氧化氢对CYC光解均表现为促进作用.在评估环氧虫啶的环境风险时,应综合考虑环境因素对其降解的影响.
