The degradation of 2‐ethoxy‐ and 2‐butoxyethanol by simulated sunlight has been investigated in the presence of aqueous suspensions of TiO2 as well as organic conducting polymer (polyphenylacetylene doped with iodine). Degradation in the presence of TiO2 particles is very rapid and effective, leading to a quantitative formation of CO2. Proper conditions also permit a very efficient degradation with the conducting polymer. The potential utility of the process and of the supported photocatalyst is discussed.

Abstract

The degradation of 2‐ethoxy‐ and 2‐butoxyethanol by simulated sunlight has been investigated in the presence of aqueous suspensions of TiO2 as well as organic conducting polymer (polyphenylacetylene doped with iodine). Degradation in the presence of TiO2 particles is very rapid and effective, leading to a quantitative formation of CO2. Proper conditions also permit a very efficient degradation with the conducting polymer. The potential utility of the process and of the supported photocatalyst is discussed.
