Polyoxometallates (POM), i.e., metal oxide clusters of mainly tungsten are effective homogeneous photocatalysts for the mineralization of organic pollutants. POM are, at least, as effective as the well studiedTiO2.OH⋅radicals formed by the reaction of the photo-excited polyoxometallates withH2O, appear to play a key role in the process. In this study, the photocatalytic activity of POM have been tested on some diversified pesticides of interest such as lindane, bentazone and fenitrothion to determine the feasibility of decontamination of aqueous solutions from these pollutants. The results show that aqueous solutions containing the above pesticides, upon photolysis in the presence of polyoxotungstates undergo effective degradation toCO2,H2Oand the corresponding inorganic anions. The intermediates identified give rise to complicated degradation mechanisms prior to mineralization. The characteristic reactions that take place consist of hydroxylation, H-abstraction, dehalogenation, denitration, desulfurization, breaking of the C-C bond etc.

The photodegradation of organic pollutants by TiO2 has previously been shown to be efficient, but the TiO2 particles are typically so fine that they are easily washed away. This problem was solved by forming a complex between TiO2 and bentonite. Four different photodegradation conditions (i.e., no catalyst, addition of 3 bentonite, addition of 1 TiO2, and addition of 3 TiO2-bentonite) were investigated for their degradation efficiencies of 20 mg/l sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) under ultraviolet light for 6 h. The titanium content of 1 titanium oxide was equal to that of the 3 Ti-bentonite. The results showed that, under the four above conditions, 36.7%, 25.9%, 96.7%, and 99.3%, respectively, of SDBS were degraded in the aqueous solutions. The latter two conditions degraded SDBS more efficiently than the former two conditions. The TiO2-bentonite complex possessed more advantages than TiO2 or bentonite alone, making the bentonite an appropriate carrier for TiO2.
