Electron-beam induced degradation of bisphenol A

E-beam degradation of bisphenol A(BPA) was carried out,under reductive condition of ethanol-water solution and oxidative condition of acetonitrile-water solution.The degradation efficiency is higher in oxidative condition than that in reductive condition,and increases with the dose but decreased with increasing initial concentration.The BPA radiolysis follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics.Adding H_2O_2,or neutral condition,does not benefit BPA degradation in oxidative conditions.Pulsed radiolysis was used...
