Reduction of trihalomethanes in a water-photolysis system

Hydrogen generated from a heterogeneous photocatalyzed water-photolysis system [Pt(colloid)/Ru(bpy)2+/MV2+/EDTA] with visible light irradiation is used to reduce trihalomethanes. The conversion of trihalomethanes to low molecular weight hydrocarbons such as methane is demonstrated in this study.
