The removal of pesticide 2,4-D by single photolysis, electrolysis with BDD anode and a combined UV irradiation-electrolysis was studied. Although photolysis is completely inefficient in the degradation of this pesticide, light irradiation improves significantly the results obtained by single electrolysis, leading to harsher oxidation conditions, which contribute to reduce the number of intermediates and promote mineralization. Electrolysis with diamond electrodes can attain the complete depletion of the pesticide and its mineralization regardless the c.d. applied and the light irradiation In comparing the effect of c.d., the process is much efficient operating at 10 mA cm-2, attaining complete mineralization with specific current charges <10 Ah dm-3, in spite of being detected a lower concentration of oxidants. Under absence of chlorides in the supporting electrolyte main intermediates formed were hydroquinone and 4-chlororesorcinol. Under the presence of this anion, 2-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol were also observed at high concentrations UV irradiation does not modify the intermediates formed although concentration is lower. An oxidation mechanism is proposed in agreement with other works shown in the literature. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Chlororesorcinol (cas: 95-88-5Reference of 95-88-5).
4-Chlororesorcinol (cas: 95-88-5) belongs to organic chlorides. Organic chlorides can be used in production of: PVC, pesticides, chloromethane, teflon, insulators. Alkyl chlorides are versatile building blocks in organic chemistry. While alkyl bromides and iodides are more reactive, alkyl chlorides tend to be less expensive and more readily available.Reference of 95-88-5
