Notes:
The development of a novel generation of excimer UV lamps enables versatile applications of quasi-monochromatic UV radiation. For example, xenon-excimer flow-through photoreactors may be used for wastewater treatment. The vacuum-UV radiation (λ = 172 nm) initiates water cleavage with formation of H atoms and oxidizing hydroxyl radicals. The latter are responsible for the photomineralization of organic substrates. An automated model reactor demonstrates the basic concepts of this advanced oxidation process.
