Abstract

Abstract : Highly toxic 2, 4, 4′-trichlorobiphenyl is completely degraded into long-chain alkanes via the ring-opening reactions and a new photocatalytic degradation pathway. Abstract : Toxic 2, 4, 4′-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28) was photocatalytically degraded by the action of Ag nanoparticle decorated nanosheet-assembled ZnO microspheres via a new photocatalytic degradation pathway. The outright degradation into long-chain alkanes via ring-opening reactions was demonstrated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
