Abstract:
The paper presents the results of studying the efficiency of the bisphenol A transformation in water exposed to ultraviolet radiation and a high-energy-pulse-electron beam (e-beam). It has been shown that in both cases, degradation of dissolved bisphenol A occurs, accompanied by an increase in the absorption coefficient in the wavelength region of more than 300 nm. After exposure, products were recorded that fluoresced in the region of more than λ = 400 nm. The fluorescent transformation product of bisphenol A in water (λ = 425 nm) was maximum formatted after an KrCl excilamp irradiated, and under the action of an e-beam, the accumulation of this product was minimal. Under e-beam radiation (170 keV) the efficiency of bisphenol A (1 mM) removal reached 97%. The data obtained allow us to develop ideas about photolysis and radiolysis in natural water systems when knowledge about targeted and optimal conditions for the degradation of bisphenol A is needed.
