Abstract

Photocatalytic ozonation by Al-supported TiO₂ films is successfully applied to the mineralization of 4-cumylphenol, a recalcitrant endocrine disrupting compound. A possible reaction mechanism implying the intermediate formation of bisphenols is proposed on the grounds of HPLC-MS and FTIR analyses.
