Photodegradation of 4-t-BP, an endocrine disrupting chemical, has been investigated.
3 stable byproducts were identified from photolysis and oxidation processes.
5 transient by-products were concluded from LFP experiments.
The theoretical calculation was performed to confirm the byproducts.
4-t-BP was degraded with increasing efficiency: 254 nm < H2O2/313 nm < H2O2/254 nm.
