The effect of complex formation on the oxidation of substrate in the Fe2+-H2O2 system has been studied. t-Butyl alcohol which is normally oxidized to the dimer, 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol, by Fenton's reagent has been used as a probe for the presence of free hydroxyl radical. ��� It is shown that when suitable complexes are formed substrates are not oxidized by free hydroxyl radical. Instead, new mechanisms involving one- and two-electron transfers within a substrate-ferrous ion-peroxide complex are proposed.

Abstract A comparative study on reactions of solution and surface generated hydroxyl radicals with chlorobenzenes has been carried out, to determine the reaction path of reactive intermediates in photo-catalysis. Two separate approaches for generating hydroxyl radical oxidants in aqueous media were employed. Fenton’s reagent (solution generation) and TiO2 irradiation (surface generation) were exploited in the decomposition of dichlorobenzenes, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and a mixture (o-DCB, m-DCB, 1,2,4-TCB). Photocatalysis displayed a distinctive order for the individual chlorobenzenes with increasing ease of disappearance: p-DCB < 1,2,4-TCB < o-DCB < m-DCB. Reduced selectivity was observed for a mixture. Use of Fenton’s reagent resulted in the following pattern for both individual and the mixture of chlorobenzenes: 1,2,4-TCB < o-DCB ≈ p-DCB ≈ m-DCB. Added acetone, suppressed the disappearance of the parent chlorinated aromatics in both systems. However, in the reaction with Fenton’s reagent 1,2,4-TCB displayed considerable sensitivity in comparison to the DCB isomers. In contrast, the photocatalysis of three individual substrates evaluated in a mixture (1,2,4-TCB, m-DCB, o-DCB) did not manifest significant differences. Results indicate that reactions observed on the photocatalyst must occur in the adsorbed state, where the oxidant is an adsorbed hydroxyl radical or the surface trapped hole itself.

This study was conducted to assess the removal efficiency of Di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP) from aqueous medium using the photo-Fenton process. The Fenton's reagent that consists of a mixture of hydrogen peroxide (H2O) and ferrous ions (Fe2+) was used to generate the hydroxyl radical (OH0) that attacks the target contaminant and degrade it. An ultraviolet (UV) source was used to provide the radiation needed in the photo-Fenton method (i.e. UV/H2O2/Fe2+). The results demonstrated that photo-Fenton process was more effective and faster than Fenton's reagent in removing DnBP and that photolysis by UV irradiation was the dominant mechanism in degrading the compound. The results also showed that enhancing the removal via UV irradiation was achieved by increasing either the temperature or the H2O2 concentration.
