Kinetics and Mechanism of the Degradation and Mineralization of Acetone in Dilute Aqueous Solution Sensitized by the UV Photolysis of Hydrogen Peroxide
Abstract
Acetone is a significant pollutant in contaminated groundwaters and industrial effluents. It can be treated by the UV/H 2 O 2 process but only slowly. This study aims to understand the degradation mechanism and hence the reasons for slow treatment. The degradation of acetone was carried out in a UV reactor in the presence of ∼16 mM H 2 O 2 such that most of the UV was absorbed by H 2 O 2 . The decay of acetone was followed by gas chromatography, and the generation of intermediates (identified as acetic, formic, and oxalic acids) was followed by ion chromatography. Measurement of the total organic carbon indicated a complete carbon balance throughout the reaction ending in mineralization. A kinetic model, based on an assumed mechanism, was developed that generated a profile of reactants and intermediates in agreement with the experimental data, including the pH profile. The initial concentrations of acetone and hydrogen peroxide strongly affect the initial rate of acetone degradation, but no pH effect was observed in the range of 2−7. It is concluded that acetone treats slowly because intermediates build up to such a concentration that they compete significantly for hydroxyl radicals and also because the mechanism appears to involve some degree of acetone recycling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
