The degradation kinetics were studied under different conditions such as reaction pH, substrate and catalyst concentration, different types of TiO"2 and in the presence of electron acceptors such as hydrogen peroxide (H"2O"2), potassium bromate (KBrO"3) and ammonium persulphate (NH"4)"2S"2O"8 in addition to molecular oxygen. The degradation rates were found to be strongly influenced by all the above parameters. The photocatalyst Degussa P25 was found to be more efficient as compared with other photocatalysts. The pesticide derivative triclopyr (1) was found to degrade faster as compared to daminozid (2). An attempt was also made to identify the intermediate products formed during the photooxidation process using GC/MS analysis. Probable pathways for the formation of products have been proposed.
