Photochemistry of bisphenol F in aqueous solutions: A mechanistic study

In the present work aqueous photochemistry of bisphenol F has been studied by means of stationary (282 nm) and laser flash photolysis (266 nm). Photoionization with formation of hydrated electron - phenoxyl radical pair was observed to be the main primary photochemical process (φmono = 2 × 10-2). Phenoxyl radical decays in recombination and reaction with superoxide anion radical formed during scavenging of hydrated electron by dissolved oxygen. The quantum yield of BPF photodegradation was evaluated to be 2 × 10-3 upon 282 nm exposure. The main primary product of BPF photolysis determined by LC-MS is hydroxylated BPF.
