Abstract
The photoenhancement of Fenton-type (Fe 3+ +H 2 O 2 ) oxidation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in the near-UV is due to several Fe(III)-sensitized photochemical reactions. Fe 3+ /H 2 O 2 /UV systems were studied for potential use in waste treatment. Dechlorination and conversion of the first ∼40% of ring and carboxy carbon of 2,4-D to CO 2 are due mostly to hydroxyl radical (OH . ) reactions
