TLDR
The oxidation kinetics of butyl chloride, nitrobenzene, anisole, and methylmercury in the presence of hydroxyl radical (OH) scavengers were used to determine the rate and quantum efficiency for production of OH from irradiated nitrate ions in water.
Abstract
The oxidation kinetics of butyl chloride, nitrobenzene, anisole, and methylmercury in the presence of hydroxyl radical (OH) scavengers were used to determine the rate and quantum efficiency for production of OH from irradiated nitrate ions in water. The experiments were conducted under steady-state irradiations with monochromatic radiation (313 nm) and with sunlight. The mean quantum efficiency for OH production at 313 nm rises from 0.013 +/- 0.002 at 20 /sup 0/C to 0.017 +/- 0.003 at 30 /sup 0/C in the pH range 6.2-8.2. Results of this study are used to estimate nitrate-induced photooxidation rates of trace organic chemicals under a variety of environmental conditions. 27 references, 6 figures, 2 tables.

Effects of sunlight on the fate of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide nanomaterials in the natural surface water.

TL;DR: In this paper , photodegradation of graphene nanomaterials with varying oxidation levels, including graphene oxide (GO), were evaluated in Columbia River Water and compared with each other, indicating that both direct and indirect photolysis of graphene-based nanommaterials will occur simultaneously in natural surface water.

Mechanism and controlling factors on rapid methylmercury degradation by ligand-enhanced Fenton-like reaction at circumneutral pH.

TL;DR: In this paper , three common chelating ligands were selected (nitriloacetic acid (NTA), citrate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic disodium (EDTA)) to promote the Fenton-like reaction and degradation of MeHg.
