Degradation of amitrole by excitation of iron(III) aquacomplexes in aqueous solutions

Mechanism and products of the photolysis of hexabromocyclododecane in acetonitrile–water solutions under a UV-C lamp

“…HO Å is an extremely potent oxidizing agent that unselectively oxidizes various kinds of organic pollutants [24][25][26][27] with high rate constants. In order to evaluate the role of HO Å during the photodecomposition of HBCD, IPA was employed as a scavenger for HO Å [28]. IPA has a high reactivity toward HO Å (k IPA,HO = 1.9 Â 10 9 L mol À1 s À1 ) [29] and a relatively low reactivity with co-solvent CH 3 CN (k ACN,HO = 2.2 Â 10 7 L mol À1 s À1 ) [30].…”

Synthesis and characterization of AgCl@graphitic carbon nitride hybrid materials for the photocatalytic degradation of atrazine

“…For example, atrazine and amitrole have been indicated as thyroid gland disruptors, endocrine disruptors, and possible carcinogens [1][2][3][4]. Atrazine and amitrole have been detected in groundwater and drinking water supplies [5][6][7]. Removal of these two pesticides must be performed using nonconventional methods due to their high solubilities in water [1,6,8].…”

“…Atrazine and amitrole have been detected in groundwater and drinking water supplies [5][6][7]. Removal of these two pesticides must be performed using nonconventional methods due to their high solubilities in water [1,6,8]. ElectroFenton and activated carbon methods have been used to remove amitrole [9,10].…”

Photodegradation of Orange Green by Fe(III)–Aqua Complex

“…It is interesting to note that unlike photo- Hydroxyl radicals are known to be reactive species involved in the advanced oxidation processes and, in most cases, to cause the complete mineralization of the pollutants. A number of papers have already been found in the literature, where hydroxyl radicals generated upon excitation of Fe(III)-aqua complexes have been used as photocatalysts to degrade organic pollutants [18][19][20][24][25][26][27][28][29] . The advantages of this photodegradation process are economical, rapid degradation and simple handling.…”
