The degradation of octylbenzene sulfonate (OBS) photoinduced by iron(III) aquacomplexes was investigated upon irradiation at 365 nm and by solar light. The photochemical degradation appears to be due toHO•radicals arising from the electron transfer inFe(OH)2+. If oxygen does not affect the initial quantum yield of OBS degradation, it is necessary to pursue the reaction up to, first the complete disappearance of OBS and secondly OBS mineralization. The nature of the major photoproducts gives evidence for a competitive attack ofHO•radicals on the alkyl chain resulting in a shortening of the chain. Among the possible sites on the chain, hydrogen on the carbon inαposition with respect to the aromatic ring was the main point of attack with the formation of 4-acetylbenzene sulfonate and 4-carboxylicbenzene sulfonate.

Surfactants are depended upon worldwide as cleaning agents. Their usage in such large quantities means that their waste and the potential for pollution are high. Many studies have been done over the last three decades encompassing treatment, alternatives to non-biodegradable surfactants, and the environmental impact. It has been found that although certain surfactants may not be directly toxic, when their concentrations are high in soil, they can act as agents to release toxic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The focus of this study is to review recent advances in the toxicology, the environmental fate, and the treatment of selected surfactants. In addition, photolytic and photocatalytic degradation of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate in water is presented.

AbstractWe present a systematic numerical analysis of the quantum yield of an electric dipole coupled to a plasmonic nanoparticle. We observe that the yield is highly dependent on the distance between the electric dipole and the nanoparticle, the size and permittivity of the nanoparticle, and the wavelength of the incident radiation. Our results indicate that enhancement of the quantum yield is only possible for electric dipoles coupled to a nanoparticle with a radius of 20 nm or larger. As the size of the nanoparticle is increased, emission enhancement occurs at wavelengths dependent on the coupling distance.
