Abstract:

The photo-induced electron transfer and photochemical of processes phenol and its derivatives on the surface of superfine titanium dioxide colloid particles were studied. It was demonstrated that phenol was more ready to degradate on colloid surface in basic solution. The main degradation products are hydrogen atom and benzene-oxyl radical. The hydroxyl radical of the system was formed from superoxide radical, and not from hydroxide anion. The mechanisms of the photo-induced electron transfer and photochemical reactions were discussed.

Key words: Phenol, Colloid, Photodegradation, ESR, Free radical
