Photochemical Formation of Hydroxyl Radical by Constituents of Natural Waters

Vaughan, Pamela P., Blough, Neil V.·1998·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

A new method is employed to determine the rates of photochemical hydroxyl radical (OH) formation in aqueous solutions and in natural waters under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Quantum yields for OH formation from the photolysis of nitrate and nitrite obtained by this method are in good agreement with previous measurements. Photolysis of Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) solutions produced the hydroxyl radical under anaerobic conditions in proportion to the SRFA concentration. Under aerobic conditions, the quantum yields for OH formation were slightly higher and exhibited a different wavelength dependence than those obtained under anaerobic conditions. Experiments employing catalase indicate that Fenton chemistry can account for at most 50% of the total signal under aerobic conditions for SRFA irradiated at 310 and 320 nm. These results indicate the presence of a dioxygen-independent pathway of hydroxyl radical production that cannot be assigned to nitrate/nitrite photolysis or to Fenton chemistry. Results from the preliminary application of this method to natural waters are also presented.

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.
