Abstract:

The photoconversion kinetics of hexachlorobenzene(HCB) was studied under UV irradiation by using low-pressure mercury lamp as light source. The photoproducts were analyzed and on this basis the photoconversion mechanism was proposed. Also, the effects of H2O2, NO2-, Fe2+ on the photoconversion in water/ice were investigated, respectively. The results show that the photoconversion rates of HCB in the three systems under the irradiation changed as follows: organic phase>water>ice; H2O2 promotes the photoconversion of HCB in water but inhibits it in ice; NO2- has inhibition effect on the photoconversion of HCB both in water and in ice; Fe2+ promotes the photoconversion of HCB in water but has no effect in ice; the photoconversion mechanism of HCB is a step-by-step dechlorination process.
