The effect of various operating parameters, such as the immobilized catalyst amount, the initial BPA concentration, the treatment time, the water matrix, the addition of [H.sub.2][O.sub.2], and the presence of other organic substances, on process efficiency, was investigated.
Since Ti[O.sub.2] in slurry has extensively been used for photocatalytic purposes, an extra run was carried out to compare the efficiencies of slurry and immobilized catalysts. Hence, 0.65 mg Ti[O.sub.2] powder was added to the reaction mixture, and complete removal of 100 [micro]g/L BPA could be achieved after 35 min of reaction (data not shown).
