Abstract

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/DFs) formation by the thermal reactions of phenols with CuCl2 under oxygen flux were carried out in relation to their formation mechanisms. To evaluate the effect of photocatalytic degradation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film prepared by the sol–gel method, the photocatalysis of PCDD/DFs in acetonitrile/water solution by batch-recycle system was conducted. For the thermal ...
