Abstract: UV induced Cr (Ⅵ) reduction in Cr (Ⅵ) 4CP co existed pollution system mainly results from the redox reaction between Cr (Ⅵ) ion and photolysis products of 4CP.The light intensity and system acidity affect Cr (Ⅵ) reduction dramatically.The pollutants can be easily removed and decontaminated because some precipitate of products is formed after the photo induced reaction in neutral medium.This is an important result for the application of photo chemistry to the decontamination in complex component pollution mixtures.The presence of 4CP has no interference on Cr (Ⅵ) dark adsorption on TiO2. Under UV irradiation, the reaction in Cr (Ⅵ) 4CP TiO2 system is much complicated and two different reactions contribute to the overall Cr (Ⅵ) reduction:photo induced homogeneous reaction between Cr (Ⅵ) and 4CP,and photocatalytic reduction of Cr (Ⅵ) ion by TiO2 as an efficient semiconductor photocatalyst,which is promoted by another photocatalytic half reaction:4CP degradation.Cr (Ⅵ) reduction in Cr (Ⅵ) 4CP and Cr (Ⅵ) 4CP TiO2 systems under UV irradiation are both zero order reactions.In the condition of excluding other homogeneous reactions,the promotion effect of 4CP on photocatalytic reduction of Cr (Ⅵ) ion is distinguished and proved.
