Abstract: The degradation of gas-phase n-C7H16 by the technique of photocatalytic oxidation on ZnO wasinvestigated.It was found that under a certain condition of reaction, the photocatalytic oxidation degrada-tion rate of n-C7H16 on ZnO ultrafine particles (UFP) was higher.The influences of some factors such as O2 volume fraction and H2O(g) volume fraction on photocatalytic oxidation of n-C7H16 were studied.The gascomposition during photocatalytic oxidation of n-C7H16 was qualitatively analyzed by using gas chromatog-raphy (GC ) and gas chromatogram-mass spectrum (GC-MS), and the principal intermediate product,propanal, was quantitatively analyzed, which could demonstrate that the most part of n-C7H16 degraded byphotocatalytic oxidation on ZnOwas oxided to CO2. In addition, the kinetics and mechanism of photo-catalytic oxidation reaction of n-C7H16 were also probed into.
