Photocatalyst, TiO2, upon irradiation with uv light produces electrons and positive holes. The positive holes are strong oxidation agents that can oxidize organic compounds such as chlorophenol to mineral acids e.g. HC1 and CO2. Factors such as pH, chlorophenol concentration, concentration of TiO2 and inorganic electrolytes that may affect the oxidation of chlorophenol were investigated. The rate of the chlorophenol oxidation follows a first order reaction with respect to the chlorophenol concentration and independent of pH. The rate increases with concentration of TiO2, reaches a maximum level at 3 g/L then decreases to a constant value upon further increase in TiO2. Increasing the degree of chlorination appears to increase the extent and the rate of oxidation. For mono-chlorophenols the extent of oxidation follows: 4-chloro > 3-chloro > 2-chloro phenol. For dichlorophenols, the order is 2,6-dichloro ≈ 2,5-dichloro > 2,4-dichloro≈ 2,3-dichlorophenol. For symmetrical chlorophenols, the oxidation increases in the order: 4-chloro > 2,5-dichloro > 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. Pentachlorophenol is rapidly decomposed but the extent of oxidation is not complete.

Photolytic and photocatalytic interactions of hypochlorite ion and humic acid are investigated under various conditions. Humic acid oxidation by aqueous chlorine under dark conditions are expressed in terms of first order reaction kinetics. Upon irradiation (300 nm < λ < 400 nm), photolysis of aqueous chlorine affect the removal efficiency of humic acid via oxidation. TiO2 sensitised photocatalytic oxidation conditions reveal an increase in the TOC removal rate of humic acid in the presence of aqueous chlorine. Under the specified conditions, increasing the photocatalyst loading up to 1.0 mg/mL markedly increase the TOC removal rate.

An asymmetrical photochromic diarylethene1-(2-Methyl-3-benzothiophene)-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-fluoro-4-chloro) phenyl-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene (1o) was synthesized and its phtochromic, fluorescent properties were investigated in detail. This compound exhibited remarkable photochromism, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, the colorless solution of 1o turned to violetred with a new visible absorption band centered at 538 nm (ε = 1.17 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1) attributable to the closed-ring isomer 1c. The kinetic experiments showed that the cyclization and cycloreversion processes were zeroth and first order reaction, respectively. Moreover, diarylethene 1o also exhibited obviously fluorescence switches along with the photochromism.The emission intensity of diarylethene 1o in a photostationary state was quenched to ca. 27% in hexane.
