TPPS₄-Sensitized Photooxidation of Micropollutants-Singlet Molecular Oxygen Kinetic Study.

ABSTRACT: Visible light-sensitized oxidation of micropollutants (MPs) in the presence of meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin photosensitizers was studied. In order to explore the role of type I (ROS generation) or type II (singlet oxygen) photooxidation, radical scavengers were used to obtain insight into the mechanism of photodegradation. It was revealed that singlet oxygen is the main ROS taking part in TPPS₄- sensitized photooxidation of micropollutants. The interaction of MPs with ¹O₂ in deuterium oxide (D₂O) was investigated by measuring the phosphorescence lifetime of ¹O₂. The rate constant (kq) for the total (physical and chemical) quenching of ¹O₂ by MPs was determined in a D₂O buffer (pD
