PG - 277-284 LID - S0304-3894(18)30154-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2018.03.010 [doi] AB - Photocatalytic degradation of three highly chlorinated contaminants, namely 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) and 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol (triclosan, TCS) has been investigated in the presence of N-methylquinolinium tetrafluoroborate (NMQ(+)), a photocatalyst able to act via Type I or Type II mechanism. Photodegradation of contaminants under aerobic conditions was achieved within hours; and it was accompanied by mineralization, as demonstrated by trapping of the evolved carbon dioxide as barium carbonate. Moreover, a high degree of detoxification, based on % inmobilization of daphnids (Daphnia magna bioassay), was reached after 70 h of irradiation. Quenching of the NMQ(+) fluorescence by the pollutants was evidenced by a decrease in the emission intensity and lifetime. Detection of the reduced NMQ. by laser flash photolysis in the presence of the pollutants provided an unambigous evidence of the electron transfer process. Quenching of singlet oxygen by the contaminants showed the typical singlet oxygen quenching constants (10(5)-10(6) M(-1) s(-1)). Evaluation of the relative contribution of both pathways (Type I vs Type II) point to the photodegradation occurring via a Type I mechanism, being the contribution of Type II mechanism negligible at any concentration range.
