The holes and the electrons at the surface of the TiOz molecule can then form hydroxyl radicals from the oxidation of oxygen, water, or hydroxide ions (Venkatadri and Peters, 1993) however, the oxidative degradation rates of organic pollutants are based upon the energy needed to cleave a given chemical bond and the concentration of dissolved molecular oxygen.
