Abstract |
The photochemical reaction of aqueous dichloromethane in the absence (saturated with argon) and the presence of O2 (saturated with air or oxygen) has been investigated using 184.9 nm UV light. The irradiation of the solution causes the formation of 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and chloride ion. The initial quantum yield of the products in the absence of oxygen was determined to be 8.6 × 10-3, 7.3 × 10-3, 4.4 × 10-3 and 2.3 × 10-2, respectively. In addition to these main products, small amounts of 1,2,3-trichloropropane, 1,1,2,2,3-pentachloropropane, 1,1,2,3,3-pentachloropropane, 1,3-dichloropropane and 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexachloropropane were detected. In the presence of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide was also detected along with the products listed above. With increasing the concentration of oxygen, while formation of the chlorinated organic products diminished, formation of chloride ion increased. Probable reaction mechanisms for the photochemical reaction were presented on the basis of products analysis. |
