Photolysis of Chlorinated Organic Compounds in Bleach Plant Effluents Exposed to Sunlight, 1994 Environmental Conference Proceedings

L. B. Sonnenberg, R. C. Eanes, S. J. Watts, M.A. Contos

Upon exposure to sunlight, chlorinated organic compounds lose chlorine and undergo other structural transformations which can affect their environmental impact and fate. The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the rates and mechanisms of photolysis of the chlorinated organic constituents of wastewaters from bleached kraft mills. The rates of photodechlorination of adsorbable organic chlorine (AOX) in whole bleach plant filtrates, treated whole effluents, and high molecular weight (HMW) compounds in bleach plant filtrates were determined. The rates of photolysis, the reaction quantum yields, and photolytic reaction products of chlorinated aromatic and aliphatic model compounds were determined.
