slurries using near-UV irradiation. The knowledge on the kinetics of the system possesses
both practical and theoretical values. The present study, on the base of Langmuir–
Hinshewood mechanism, illustrates a pseudo first-order kinetic model of the degradation
with the limiting rate constant of 3.004 mgl− 1min− 1 and equilibrium adsorption constant
2.763× 10− 2lmg− 1, respectively. The degradation efficiency in alkali is a little higher than …
