Title : Visible-light-induced degradation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers

Abstract:

As typical persistent organic pollutants, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have aroused highly environmental concerns because of their toxicity and recalcitrant degradation. Here, we will report the visible-light-induced degradation of PBDEs by several strategies. The reaction kinetics, influence factors and possible photoreductive mechanisms have been discussed. This research may provide the green and efficient methods to remove halogenated pollutants by using visible light.
