The photodecomposition of hydrogen peroxide was performed in highly saline aqueous medium (60 g.L of NaCl). The Fe/H2O2/NaCl/UV system was tested at temperatures from 20 to 50 C, while the intervals of concentration of Fe and H2O2 were 1 to 2.5 mM and 230 to 630 mM, respectively. It is known from the literature that chloride is an inhibitor of the oxidation of organic compound in aqueous medium...

This article aims to elucidate on usefulness of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) for photoreductive degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a representative perfluorinated compound (PFC), in water for the first time. Bench-scale tests were conducted on oxidative and reductive (with aquated electron: eaq ) mineralization of PFOA using low-pressure UV (LPUV) lamps and potassium iodide. Unlike with ...

Quinifuryl (MW 449.52), 2-(5'-nitro-2'-furanyl)ethenyl-4-[N-[4'-(N,N-diethylamino)-1'-methylbutyl]carbamoyl] quinoline, is a water soluble representative of a family of 5-nitrofuran-ethenyl-quinoline drugs which has been shown to be highly toxic to various lines of transformed cells in the dark. In the present study, the toxicity of Quinifuryl to P388 mouse leukemia cells was compared in the da...
