Heterogeneous photocatalytic decomposition of halosubstituted benzyl alcohols on semiconductor particles in aqueous media.
The photodegradation of 2-, 3- and 4-halosubstituted benzyl alcohols (HBAs) on semiconductive oxides (TiO2, ZnO) was studied. It was found out that the photodegradation rate increases from the fluoro to bromo derivates in the case of 2- and 4-HBAs, whereas in the case of 3-HBAs the reverse trend was observed.
