Abstract:

The photoconversion regularity of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane(γ-HCH) in snow and ice in the presence of humic acid(HA) were studied. The results showed that the photoconversion efficiency of γ-HCH was promoted at low initial concentration of HA, but inhibited at high concentration of HA. Salt ion concentration, NO2- and NO3- all promoted the photoconversion efficiency of γ-HCH. The photoconversion efficiency of γ-HCH was promoted at low initial concentration of Fe3+, but inhibited when the concentration of Fe3+ reached 50 μmol/L. The sequence of photoconversion rate of γ-HCH at different pH was alkaline>neutral>acidic. HA accelerated the photoconversion of γ-HCH by producing singlet oxygen(1O2), hydroxyl free radical(·OH) and triple excited state(HA*) in ice. Photoproducts of γ-HCH in the presence of HA are mainly pentachloro-cyclohexene, p-dichlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene, 1-chlorobenzene, and 1O2 indirectly accelerated the photoconversion of γ-HCH by consuming the intermediate products.
