Photochemical degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) in Fe(III)/tartrate/$H_2O_2$ system was investigated utilizing fluorescent lamps as the primary light source. Effects of initial pH, light source, and initial concentration of each reactant on DMP photodegradation was examined. The results show that the system was able to effectively photodegrade DMP utilizing visible light. Fluorescent lamp, halide lamp, UV lamp and sunlight could all be used as the light sources. The optimal pH ranged among 3.0-4.0 for the system. Increases of the initial concentrations of Fe(III) and $H_2O_2$ accelerated the photodegradation of DMP, whereas excessively high initial tartrate concentration resulted in the decrease of photodegradation efficiency and rate of DMP.

The photocatalytic degradation of TCE using solar energy in POFR was studied. The use of solar energy was investigated in plastic optica fiber photocatalytic reactor (POFR). In POFR, the main parameters of photocatalytic degradation of TCE were lihgt intensity, thickness of $TiO_2$-coated film on plastic fiber core, the same of total $TiO_2$-coated surface area with changed length. We studied the apparent photonic efficiency and photocatalytic degradation rate of TCE in POFR. The apparent photonic efficiency of various light intensities was decreased by an incresed intensities. The photocatalytic activities of $TiO_2$-coated optical fiber reactor system depended on the coating thickness, and total clad-stripped surface area of POF. Photocatalytic degradation of trichloroethylene ($C_2HCl_3$, TCE) in the gas-phase was elucidated by using $TiO_2$-coated plastic optical fiber reactor. In TCE degradation, in-situ FTIR measurement resulted in mineralization into $CO_2$.

Several studies have been carried out on the source contribution of the particulate Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) over Seoul by using the Chemical Mass Balance Model (CMB)(Lee and Kim, 2007; Kim et al., 2013). To confirm the validity of the modeling results, the modified model employing a photochemical loss rate along with varying residence times and the standard model that considers no loss were compared. It was found that by considering the photochemical loss rate, a better performance was obtained as compared to those obtained from the standard model in the CMB calculation. The modified model estimated higher contributions from coke oven, transportation, and biomass burning by 4 to 8%. However, the order of the relative importance of major sources was not changed, coke oven followed by transportation and biomass burning. Thus, it was concluded that the standard CMB model results are reliable for identifying the relative importance of major sources.

광원의 복사에너지가 물질에 입사하면, 그 물질의 고유한 특성에 따라 그 에너지의 일부는 흡수되고 나머지는 반사되거나 투과된다. 물질을 구성하는 분자가 빛을 흡수하면 그 빛의 파장에 따른 복사에너지에 의하여 열적 반응이나 광화학적 반응을 일으킨다. 특히 자외선복사에 의한 광화학적 작용은 물질의 변퇴색과 같은 광화학적 열화를 초래한다. 물질에 손상이 일어나면 그 물질의 가치상실 뿐 아니라, 손상된 것을 다시 복원하기 쉽지 않기 때문에 이에 대한 적절한 조명 환경을 마련하여 손상의 최소화나 보존에 많은 노력을 기울여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 자외선에 의한 광화학적 손상과 그 방호에 대하여 살펴보고, 전시조명용으로 많이 사용되는 인공광원과 자연주광을 대상으로, 이들 광원들이 방출하는 복사조도와 자외선을 포함하는 광복사량을 측정하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

Mobile source emissions are important inputs to photochemical air quality models. Since most mobile source emissions are calculated at the county-level, these emission should be geographically allocated to the computational grid cells of a photochemical air quality model prior to running the model. The traditional method for the spatial allocation of these emissions has been to use a "spatial surrogate indicator" such as population, since grid-specific emission calculations are very labor-intensive and expensive, plus the necessary data are often not available for such grid resolutions. Accordingly, new spatial surrogate indicators for mobile source emissions(specifically for highway emissions) were developed using Geographic Information Systems(GIS) tools due to the spatially variable nature of mobile source emissions. These newly developed spatial surrogate indicators appear to be more appropriate for the allocation of highway emissions than the population surrogate indicator. It was also revealed that the conventional spatial allocation method underestimates the maximum levels of air pollutant emmissions.mmissions.

The effect of antioxidants on photochemical reaction of pefloxacin by UVB (290~320 nm) was investigated and the possible mechanism of phototoxicity on the skin was also studied. The photo-degradation of pefloxacin by UVB was suppressed by cysteine, reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid, but was promoted by ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Squalene, accounts for more than 10% of skin surface lipids, was peroxidized by pefloxacin through both radical and singlet oxygen mechanism.

Irradiaton of nifedipine in methylene chloride at 366 nm yielded 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dicarbomethoxy-4-(2'-nitrosophen yl)-pyridine with the quantum yield 0.37, while irradiation at 254 nm initially gave nitroso compound which in turn is photooxidized to 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dicarbomethoxy-4-(2'-nitrophenyl) -pyridine with the quantum efficiency of 0.014 on further irradiation in the presence of oxygen. The intramolecular hydrogen abstraction of nifedipine proceeded from the triplet excited sitate.

Titania modified by 2-ethylimidazole (2-EI) (denoted as $2-EI-TiO_2$) demonstrated visible light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of organic compounds. $2-EI-TiO_2$ was a bright brown powder that exhibited similar crystallinity and morphology with the control $TiO_2$. A diffuse reflectance spectrum indicated that $2-EI-TiO_2$ absorbs visible light of all wavelengths. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the cationic state of nitrogen species (e.g. Ti-O-N) on the surface of $2-EI-TiO_2$. Visible light-illuminated $2-EI-TiO_2$ degraded $10{\mu}M$ 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) by approximately 85% in 4 h. The photochemical activity of $2-EI-TiO_2$ was selective in targeting the organic compound. The repeated use of $2-EI-TiO_2$ decreased the photocatalytic activity for the 4-CP degradation. Experiments using radical scavengers and oxidant probes revealed that the oxidation by photogenerated holes is responsible for the degradation of organic compounds by illuminated $2-EI-TiO_2$ and the role of $^{\bullet}OH$ is negligible.

Electrochemical and photochemical techniques have been proved to be effective for the removal of organic pollutants in textile wastewater. The present study deals with degradation of synthetic textile effluents containing reactive dyes and assisting chemicals, using electro oxidation and photo catalytic treatment. The influence of various operating parameters such as dye concentration, current density, supporting electrolyte concentration and lamp intensity on TOC removal has been determined. From the present investigation it has been observed that nearly 70% of TOC removal has been recorded for electrooxidation treatment with current density 5 mA/$dm^2$, supporting electrolyte concentration of 3 g/L and in photocatalytic treatment with 250 V as optimum lamp intensity nearly 67% of TOC removal was observed. The result indicates that electro oxidation treatment is more efficient than photocatalytic treatment for dye degradation.

In this study, ibuprofen(IBP) degradation by the photochemical ($UV/S_2O{_8}^{2-}$) and sonochemical ($US/S_2O{_8}^{2-}$) processes was examined under various parameters, such as UV ($10{\sim}40{\pm}5W/L$) and US ($50{\sim}90{\pm}5W/L$) power density, optimum dosage of persulfate ion ($S_2O{_8}^{2-}$), temperature ($20{\sim}60^{\circ}C$) and anions effect ($Cl^-$, $HCO_3{^-}$, $CO{_3}^{2-}$). The pseudo-first-order degradation rate constants were in the order of $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-5}min^{-1}$ depending on each processes. The synergistic effect of IBP degradation in $UV/S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ and $US/S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ processes could investigated, due to the generation of $SO_4{^-}$ radical. This result can confirm from the produced $H_2O_2$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ concentration in each processes. IBP degradation rate affected by the $S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ dosage, temperature, power and anion existence parameters. In particular, IBP degradation rate increased with the increase of the temperature ($60^{\circ}C$) and applied power density (UV:$40{\pm}5W/L$, US:$90{\pm}5W/L$). On the other hand, anions effect on the IBP degradation was negative, due to the anion play as a the scavenger of radical.
