Effect of Solution pH on the Dual Role of Dissolved Organic Matter in Sensitized Pollutant Photooxidation

Jannis Wenk, Cornelia Graf, Michael Aeschbacher, Michael Sander, Silvio Canonica

Nov 16, 2021

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has a dual role in indirect phototransformations of aquatic contaminants by acting both as a photosensitizer and an inhibitor. Herein, the pH dependence of the inhibitory effect of DOM and the...
