The photocatalysed degradation of two selected priority organic pollutants, namely benzidine (1) and 1,2-diphenylhydrazine (DPH, 2) has been investigated in aqueous suspensions of titanium dioxide (TiO2) under a variety of conditions employing a pH-stat technique. The degradation was studied by monitoring the change in substrate concentration of the model compound employing HPLC analysis and the decrease in total organic carbon content, respectively, as a function of irradiation time. The degradation kinetics were studied under different conditions such as reaction pH, substrate and photocatalyst concentration, type of TiO2 photocatalyst and the presence of alternative additives such as H2O2, KBrO3 and (NH4)2S2O8 besides molecular oxygen. The degradation rates and the photonic efficiencies were found to be strongly influenced by the above parameters. Toxicity tests for the irradiated samples of benzidine measuring the luminescence of bacteria Vibrio fischeri after 30 min of incubation were also performed. 4-amino-biphenyl (7) and hydroquinone (13) were identified as intermediate products by GC/MS technique and probable pathways for the formation of the products are proposed.
The benzidines, 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB), 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine (DMOB) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) were enzymatically oxidised to detect hydrogen peroxide, using the quartz crystal. The oxidised product mainly remains in suspension, resulting in a limited quartz sensor signal. We have used two non-ionic surfactants, Tween 80 and Triton X-100 to interact with the oxidised amphiphilic products to increase their solubility and surface activity, and their ability to adsorb to the crystal surface. Tween 80 exhibits optimised response effects for DAB, DMOB and TMB at 0.012, 0.005, and 0.002% (v/v), respectively, whereas Triton X-100 is optimum at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.006% (v/v), respectively. As a result, we have improved the quartz crystal sensor sensitivity to peroxide. The use of Triton X-100 gave an improved response time.
