... charac-teristics of the feed solution (type and concentration of or-ganics, pH, presence of inorganic ions), the concentration of oxygen in the reaction solution, the magnitude of the inten-sity and wavelength ... photogeneratedelectrons in the conduction band by oxygen reduction is the rate-controlling step in the photocatalytic mechanism[26,54]. Consequently, conditions that favor the removal of conduction band electrons ... of hydroxyl radical forma-tion will result in higher degradation rates of the organiccontaminants. On the other hand, addition of large amounts of hydrogenperoxide in the feed solution (continuous-mode...
