Detoxification of aqueous chlorophenol solutions by ionizing radiation

Degradation of 4-chlorophenol in aqueous solution by γ-radiation and ozone oxidation

“…This result was similar with that of Zona [8] . The TOC variation at different radiation time was also studied and the results are listed in Table 1.…”

“…There is no requirement to add any chemicals and secondary pollutants cannot be produced when using radiation technology to treat the pollutants. This technology has the advantages of high degradation rate, rapid reaction rate and complete destruction of pollutants [6][7][8][9] . It has been receiving increasing attention in recent years as an emerging technology for pollution control.…”

Degradation of catechol by ionizing radiation, ozone and the combined process ozone-electron-beam

“…Since it is well known that during irradiation of aromatic substances toxic compounds can be formed (e.g. Zona et al, 1999;Zona and Solar, 2003), toxicity measurements as a function of dose were carried out. In water, containing 500 mmol dm À3 CA, the inhibition of luminescence was below the toxicity level of 20%, upon irradiation the I 30 increased to 70%.…”

Influence of persulfate ions on the removal of phenol in aqueous solution using electron beam irradiation

“…The chemistry of primary interest in the high-energy electron beam process is the fact that ionizing radiation produces both oxidizing and reducing species simultaneously in approximately the same concentration. One of the many applications of the electron beam process is the treatment of aqueous effluents containing organic pollutants [1][2][3][4]. The degradation of organic pollutants occurs under the action of reactive species (OH • , e aq − , H • ) formed during the transfer of energy from accelerated electrons in the aqueous phase (Eq.…”
