E. Pelizzetti et al., PHOTOTRANSFORMATIONS OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS OVER IRRADIATED SEMICONDUCTOR-METAL OXIDES - NITROBENZENE AND ATRAZINE OVER TIO2 AND ZNO, Coordination chemistry reviews, 125(1-2), 1993, pp. 183-193
The photocatalytic behaviour of nitrobenzene and atrazine over titaniu
m dioxide and zinc oxide has been compared. Whereas the final products
are the same, the intermediate distribution depends on the semiconduc
tor nature. Both nitrate and ammonium ions are formed; nitrite represe
nts a noticeable product in the early part of nitrobenzene degradation
.
