“…In the case of 4-CP photodegradation, a previous study carried out by the authors using GC-MS analysis shows that two major photoproducts, benzoquinone (BQ) and hydroquinone (HQ), are formed [37]. Also, small amounts of others hydroxylated compounds, such as phenol, catechol, resorcinol, 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene and even some chlorinated oxidation by-products, such as 4-chlorocatechol, and products from the cleavage of the aromatic ring, such as phthalic acid, have been identified [37][38][39].…”
