TL;DR: A method for a photochemically induced mineralization of CCl4 is described in which use is made of reductive radicals, and carbon dioxide radical anion, CO2(-), an intermediate in the mineralization pathway of methanol, is shown to initiate the mineralized phase by reductive dechlorination.

TL;DR: A standard AOP may be used to evaluate the rate constants of reaction of substrates with hydroxyl radicals under polychromatic as well as under monochromatic irradiation, and optimal amounts of additive may be obtained using only a few parameters as predictive tools.

TL;DR: The photophysical properties of acid and basic forms of six compounds of the pterin family and the fluorescence characteristics (spectra, quantum yields, lifetimes) of these compounds have been investigated using the single-photon-counting technique.

TL;DR: An empirical model based on artificial neural networks has been developed for fitting the experimental data obtained in a laboratory batch reactor for the degradation of 2, 4-dimethyl aniline (2,4-xylidine), chosen as a model pollutant, and shows that the process is most sensitive to the concentration of iron(III) salt and temperature, whereas the Concentration of hydrogen peroxide has a minor effect.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that significant photochemical decomposition of phenalenone occurs under steady-state irradiation in air equilibrated 1,4-dioxane and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), mainly due to hydrogen abstraction from the solvent by its triplet excited state.
