| Περίληψη | In this work, we investigate the photolysis behavior of 2,3-dibromo-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DDBQ), the only dibrominated benzoquinone detected in treated water so far. DDBQ solutions prepared in ultra-pure water were exposed to UV radiation centered at 254 nm (UV254), and the photolysis of the parent compound was monitored together with by-product formation. The DDBQ pseudo-first order photolysis rate constants decreased when increasing the initial DDBQ concentration, and this behavior was caused by saturation of absorption. The photodegradation kinetics was found not to depend on pH and 1-butanol addition, but was affected by humic acids and components that occur in both natural waters and treated wastewater. For the first time with this class of compounds, photolysis studies were also performed using natural and treated wastewater matrices, where photodegradation was always found to proceed significantly slower than in ultra-pure water. The implications for the radiation dose that is required to reach a given treatment target are discussed, and a numerical approach by which to foresee the extent of degradation inhibition is provided that should be taken into account when planning the UV254 treatment of DDBQ. The phototransformation of DDBQ yielded hydroxyderivatives, most likely via a debromination-hydroxylation pathway. In-silico toxicity screening suggested that the transformation of DDBQ into the detected hydroxyderivatives would not eliminate toxicity. Although the monohydroxylated derivative underwent relatively fast transformation, the dihydroxylated compound was found to accumulate during irradiation. As a compromise, the irradiation conditions that produce over 90% degradation of DDBQ in the studied samples, and at the same time keep by-product formation low are discussed. | en |
