“…UV/inorganic oxidants extensively used as an alternative method for removal of various organic pollutants from aqueous solutions. Recently, some reports are available about the photooxidation process in the presence of UV light/inorganic oxidants such as decomposition of 2-Chlorobiphenyl by IO À 4 and S 2 O 2À 8 [7], mineralization of Calcon by S 2 O 2À 8 [8], degradation of Acid Orange 7 by HSO À 5 and S 2 O 2À 8 [9], mineralization of Ponceau S by IO À 3 , BrO À 3 , and S 2 O 2À 8 [10], degradation of 4-fluorophenol by BrO À 3 , ClO À 3 , IO À 4 , and S 2 O 2À 8 [11], degradation of 4-chloro-2-methylphenol by BrO À 3 , ClO À 3 , and IO À 4 [12], photodefluoridation of pentafluorobenzoic acid by BrO À 3 , ClO À 3 , IO À 4 , and S 2 O 2À 8 [13], decolorization of C.I. Reactive Black 5 by IO À 3 , BrO À 3 , and S 2 O 2À 8 [14], removal of endosulfan by S 2 O 2À 8 and HSO À 5 [15] and degradation of antipyrine by S 2 O 2À 8 [16].…”
