To investigate the influence of radiolysis on kinetics and factors of dimethyl phthalate(DMP),the aqueous DMP solution is degraded by 1.8 MeV E-beam,following pseudo-first-order kinetics.The rate constant of DMP degradation decreased exponentially with increasing initial DMP concentration.The DMP is favorably degraded by radical scavengers under its low concentration and alkaline condition.At high doses,the DMP is attacked by eaq-and ·OH,producing monomethyl phthalate,phthalate acid,and a series of aliphatic carboxylic acids,which are completelymineralized into H2O and CO2.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) spread widely in the environment are mainly removed by photochemical and anaerobic microbial degradation. In this paper, the decomposition of 4-bromodiphenyl ether (BDE -3), the PBDEs homologues, is investigated by electron beam irradiation of its ethanol/water solution (reduction system) and acetonitrile/water solution (oxidation system). The radiolytic products were determined by GC coupled with electron capture detector, and the reaction rate constant of esol– in the reduction system was measured at 2.7×1010 L·mol–1·s–1 by pulsed radiolysis. The results show that the BDE-3 concentration affects strongly the decomposition ratio in the alkali solution, and the reduction system has a higher BDE-3 decomposition rate than the oxidation system. This indicates that the BDE-3 was reduced by effectively capturing esol– in radiolytic process.

Thiamphenicol(THA) and florfenicol(FLO) aqueous solutions were irradiated to different doses by 1 MeV electron beams,and redox reactions of THA/FLO and radicals of OH,e_(eq)^- and ~·H were investigated under various conditions.The results showed that at 8 kGy,the decomposition rate of THA and FLO was 97.2%and 98.5%, respectively.Quantitative and qualitative analysis indicated that OH played a key role in E-beam degradation of the THA and FLO in aqueous solutions,and e_(eq)^- and ~·H radicals could initiate the degradation,too.Seven primary products of the THA and FLO degradation were identified.These indicate that E-beam radiation is an effective method to reduce THA and FLO in aqueous solutions.
