Kinetic and mechanistic study of photocatalytic degradation of 4,4'-biphenol in TiO2 suspension
The photodegradation of 4,4'-biphenol (BIP) under a metal halide lamp followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model and the hydroxylation reaction was considered as the main initial step for BIP degradation on the basis of GC/MS analysis.
