摘要

The lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) is added annually to the Great Lakes (approximately 50 000 kg/y), with treatment concentrations varying from 1 to 14 mg/L at source. TFM was shown to undergo photohydrolytic degradation, at 365 nm and under actinic radiation, to produce trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). A mechanistic study for the production of TFA from TFM was conducted, and the structural parameters associated with the ...
