Abstract

Since degradation under the influence of natural light is an important process in the environment, we have investigated the photooxidation of some organic compounds in aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30) exposed to UV light (λ > 290 nm). Photolysis of hydrogen peroxide yields OH, which reacts with most classes of chemicals and thus is of special importance in their degradation. The possible reaction mechanism is discussed, and the photodecomposition rate of H ₂O ₂ in water is estimated.
