Abstract
To reveal the fate of anthracene (ANT) in soil, the photodegradation behavior of ANT was systematically studied using SiO2 to simulate a soil environment. Under xenon lamp irradiation, more than 90% of ANT loaded on SiO2 could be removed after 240 min. Moreover, the effects of water content, chloride ions (Cl-) and humic acid (HA) were examined. It was found that the presence of water and HA can significantly inhibit the photolysis of ANT on SiO2, while the addition of chloride alone has no obvious effect. However, when water is present, the inhibition effect of chloride became more obvious. According to radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and chlorine radicals (Cl•) were formed in the system. Possible reaction pathways were speculated based on products identified by mass spectrometry. ANT was attacked by •OH to form hydroxylated products, which can be further hydroxylated and oxidized with the final formation of ring-opening products. ANT directly excited by light may also react with Cl• to produce chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Cl-PAHs). Finally, the experimental results were verified on real soil. This study provides important information for understanding the photochemical transformation mechanism of ANT at the soil/air interface.

Abstract
![]()
The comprehensive real-time in situ monitoring of chemical
processes
is a crucial requirement for the in-depth understanding of these processes.
This monitoring facilitates an efficient design of chemicals and materials
with the precise properties that are desired. This work presents the
simultaneous utilization and synergy of two novel time-resolved NMR
methods, i.e., time-resolved diffusion NMR and time-resolved nonuniform
sampling. The first method allows the average diffusion coefficient
of the products to be followed, while the second method enables the
particular products to be monitored. Additionally, the average mass
of the system is calculated with excellent resolution using both techniques.
Employing both methods at the same time and comparing their results
leads to the unequivocal validation of the assignment in the second
method. Importantly, such validation is possible only via the simultaneous
combination of both approaches. While the presented methodology was
utilized for photopolymerization, it can also be employed for any
other polymerization process, complexation, or, in general, chemical
reactions in which the evolution of mass in time is of importance.
