A significant effect of clay host was observed on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2; TiO2-pillared fluorine mica exhibited two orders of magnitude higher activity than TiO2 and TiO2-pillared montmorillonite for the photocatalytic degradation of gamma-HCH.

Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of gamma-HCH on soil surfaces was carried out to evaluate the photocatalytic effectiveness of alpha-Fe2O3 and TiO2 toward degrading gamma-HCH on soil surfaces. After being spiked with gamma-HCH, soil samples were loaded with alpha-Fe2O3 or TiO2 and exposed to UV-light irradiation. Different catalyst loads, 0%, 2%, 5%, 7%, and 10% (wt.) alpha-Fe2O3; 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2: (wt.)TiO2, were tested for up to 7 d irradiation. The effects of soil thickness, acidity, and humic substances were also investigated. The obtained results indicated that the gamma-HCH photodegradation follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics. The addition of alpha-Fe2O3 or TiO2 accelerates the photodegradation of gamma-HCH, while the photodegradation rate decreases when the content of alpha-Fe2O3 exceeds 7% (wt.). The degradation rate increases with the soil pH value. Humic substances inhibit the photocatalytic degradation of gamma-HCH. Pentachlorocyclohexene, tetrachlorocyclohexene, and trichlorobenzene are detected as photodegradation intermediates, which are gradually degraded with the photodegradation evolution.

TiO2 and montmorillonite composite photocatalysts were prepared and applied in degrading gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH) in soils. After being spiked with gamma-HCH, soil samples loaded with the composite photocatalysts were exposed to UV-light irradiation. The results indicated that the photocatalytic activities of the composite photocatalysts varied with the content of TiO2 in the order of 10% < 70% < 50% < 30%. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of the composite photocatalysts with TiO2 content 30% was higher than that of the pure P25 with the same mass of TiO2. The strong adsorption capacity of the composite photocatalysts and quantum size effect may contribute to its increased photocatalytic activities. In addition, effect of dosage of composite photocatalysts and soil pH on gamma-HCH photodegradation was investigated. Pentachlorocyclohexene, trichlorocyclohexene, and dichlorobenzene were detected as photodegradation intermediates, which were gradually degraded with the photodegradation evolution.
