The photochemical degradation of polyolefin-TiO2 composite films was investigated and described in relationship with the concentration of photocatalyst and after different exposure times. UV-Vis-NIR and IR spectra reveal the presence of various degradation products, which are in direct connection with the photodecomposition mechanism. Various ratios between the absorbance of some typical IR characteristic bands can lead to the evaluation of photocomposition of polyethylene and polypropylene composite films containing TiO2 nanoparticles.The results show that the photocatalytic degradation of composites is significantly faster than the simple photolytic decomposition of pure polypropylene and polyethylene and could be used as a solution for the destruction of this type of wastes.

Photocatalytic degradation of the carbamate insecticide methomyl and its commercial product Lannate-90 in aqueous suspension of TiO2 and ZnO using an Osram ultra-vitalux' lamp (315-400 nm) was investigated. The objective of the investigation was to study and compare the rates of photochemical degradation of the pure active compound and its formulated product in order to find out the impact of inert ingredients on degradation processes. The photochemical degradation of pure methomyl was found to be slower than the degradation of its commercial product Lannate-90. Photodegradation was investigated by UV-Vis spectrometry and HPLC, while mineralization was monitored using IC and TOC analyses. Light absorption capabilities of catalysts were characterized by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy method, while the stability of catalysts was studied by infrared analyses. Degradation products of methomyl and its formulated product were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) results and tentative photodegradation pathways were proposed.

Six benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized and charactrized by IR spectra, 1H-NMR spectra and MS spectra. The coordination reaction of the derivatives with CuCl2. And six novel Cu (II) complexes with the derivatives were prepared and characterized by UV spectra, IR spectra and elemental analysis. The catalytic degradation of methyl orange aqueous solution was investigated using the complexes as catalysis in presence H2O2 by HPLC method and Vis-spectrophotometry. The result of characterization showed that there are four coordination sites around Cu (II) in all complexes, which are respectively occupied by one sulfur atom (from the derivative), one nitrogen atom (from the derivative), one oxygen atom ( from the OH-) and one chlor atom (from the Cl-). The degradation of methyl orange indicated that all the complexes show the properties of enzyme activity. And the main degradation products determined were hydroquinone and maleic acid.
