PG - 1124-7 AB - 2-Chlorophenol (2-CP), 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) at initial concentrations of 10, 20, 50 and 100mg l(-1) were degraded in aqueous media by direct UV photolysis using dielectric barrier discharge XeBr( *) excilamp (283nm) in a flow-through photoreactor. The pseudo-first order rate constants were highest and half-life times were lowest for 4-CP. The rates of photolysis under the experimental conditions increased in the order: 2-CP<2,4-DCP<4-CP. The intermediates of photolysis were identified by GC-MS and HPLC. The evolution of hydroquinone and p-benzoquinone as major intermediates of 4-CP photolysis was monitored.
