Abstract: | A non-enzymic system containing CuSO4 (10 mmol/L) and hydrogen peroxide (100 mmol/L) was used for the degradation of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: phenanthrene,
fluoranthene, and pyrene (all at 10 mmol/L). The system degraded the compounds rapidly and efficiently. After 1 d at room
temperature, more than 80 % of pyrene, phenan-threne, and fluoranthene disappeared. Several products are formed during the
reaction including a black precipitate. |
