Abstract
The photocatalytic and photochem. degrdns. (PCD) of aniline using concd. solar radiation were studied. The photochem. reaction takes place on the surface of the catalyst material. Therefore, the adsorption behavior of aniline on the catalyst was also studied. The rates of aniline degrdn. in the case of the photocatalytic process were compared with the photochem. method. The effects of the presence of anions and cations, which are commonly present in industrial wastewaters, are reported. A plausible explanation for the anomalous behavior of HCO3- and CO32- is given. The effect of pH on the PCD of aniline was also studied.
