ADVANCED OXIDATION OF PENTACHLOROPHENOL IN WATER USING HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

摘要

Initial factorial experiments elucidated that initial pen-tachlorophenol (PCP) and hydrogen peroxide concentrations, time and UV light affected PCP decomposition. The experiments also showed that PCP degradation followed the first-order reaction kinetics, and optimum concentration of hydrogen peroxide decreased with decreasing initial PCP concentration. Two models were examined to predict the reaction rate.
