Simple, sensitive and on‐line fluorescence monitoring of photodegradation of phenol and 2‐naphthol

Abstract: A simple molecular fluorescence spectrometer based on a hand-held CCD spectrometer was constructed for on-line monitoring of the photodegradation of pollutants. A high-pressure Hg vapour lamp was used for the UV photodegradation and simultaneously for the fluorescence excitation. Phenol and 2-naphthol were selected as the targets for this preliminary study. Using peak fluorescence, figures of merit for monitoring these two hydroxybenzene were obtained. Degradation efficiencies with different homogeneous photoc… Show more

“…Indeed, it was recognized that thermodynamically the formation of a phenoxyl radical is more favorable than • OH additions . Moreover, in substituted phenols the substituent have a marked influence on directing the incoming • OH. ,, A number of techniques which essentially are chemical, biological, catalytic, and electrochemical procedures were reported for the • OH induced degradation of naphthols in wastewater. Also, the free electron transfer phenomena of naphthols, their analogues, and derivatives has been extensively studied by fluorescence, laser flash, and pulse radiolysis techniques in organic solvents. To our knowledge there has not been any comprehensive report of the kinetics, mechanism, and intermediate species produced during the one-electron oxidations of both naphthol molecules with • OH in aqueous medium.…”

“…Subsequently, the Ab 1 can specifically bind with Fe(OH) 3 @Ab 2 , which can rapidly quench the fluorescence of 4-CN. Significantly, the fluorescence quenching effect may be attributed to the oxidation of 4-CN caused by the valence transition of the ferric ion in Fe(OH) 3 nanocages [ 41 , 42 ]. Subsequently, the uncombined Fe(OH) 3 @Ab 2 was collected for the colorimetric detection, where the Fe(OH) 3 can catalyze the oxidation of ABTS to generate a vivid color change and UV–vis absorption intensity variation.…”

“…The broader signals of the polymer may mean that the polymer has an extended π-conjugation system derived from the BINOL backbone. Changes in emission spectra of BINOL and related compounds due to their photo degradation have been reported [31,41,42]; however, polymer formation during the photo reactions have never been proposed.…”
