Role of reduction in the photocatalytic degradation of TNT

Article Abstract:

Electrochemical and photoelectrochemical techniques show that reduction plays an important role in the photocatalytic degradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The formation of significant amounts of ammonia confirmed the involvement of reductive transformation in the TNT degradation pathway. Reduction of TNT may take place under aerated or deaerated conditions. An analysis of the photocatalytic degradation of TNT using cadmium sulfide is presented.
