Objective This study was carried out to reveal the photocatalytic degradation characteristics of Bisphenol A,a representative endocrine disruptor,with immobilized nanometer TiO2 catalyst supported on fiberglass net.Methods The effects of photolysis under black light lamp and cold cathode low-pressure mercury lamp,and initial concentration(0.98-6.23 mg/L) on the degradation of bisphenol A(BPA) was explored by photoreactor in laboratory.Photocatalytic mineralization and intermediates under different irradiations was also investigated.Results It was found that the reaction kinetics was first order with respect to BPA concentration,and the apparent kinetic constants decreased with the increase of initial concentration.Photodecomposition of BPA under black light lamp irradiation was caused by not photolysis but photocatalysis,while that under cold cathode low-pressure mercury lamp was caused by the synergistic effect of photolysis as well as photocatalysis.Further studies showed that photocatalytic mineralization of BPA differed greatly under those different irradiations.1,4-benzoquinone,p-dihydroxybenzene,methyl p-hydroxybenzoate,D-hydroxyacetophehone,1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone,1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-vinyl alcohol were identified as intermediates under black light lamp,and 3-hydroxyl-3-crotonic acid,4-hydroxybenzaldehyde,D-hydroxyacetophehone,2-acetyl-3-methoxyl-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone,3,4-di-(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexane were found under cold cathode low-pressure mercury lamp.Conclusion The differences of photocatalytic mineralization under different illumination are attributed to the molecule structure with two benzene-rings.
