In this study, the degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using UV/H2O2 system was investigated. The effects of initial H2O and PCB concentrations were studied using batch tubular reactor equipped with a 254 nm low-pressure Hg lamp. Samples were withdrawn from the reactor at desired time in...
