Abstract: | Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) and diethyl methylphosphonate (DEMP) are readily mineralized by photoexcited titanium dioxide
(TiO2). Intermediate products include low molecular weight organic acids and methylphosphonic acid. Complete mineralization yields
phosphate and carbon dioxide. The photoactivities of different types of TiO2 were investigated. The decomposition kinetics of DMMP and effects of DMMP and catalyst concentration, sonication, solar irradiation,
oxygen concentration, temperature, and hydrogen peroxide on the rate of decomposition are reported. The degradation rates
increase with simultaneous sonication, addition of hydrogen peroxide, and at higher temperatures. |
