The endocrine disrupting Compounds 17 beta-estradiol (ESD) and its derivatives - major constituents of contraceptives - are incorporated to waste waters mainly through human excretion and anthropogenic industrial activities. In this paper, the kinetic and mechanistic aspects of the Riboflavin (Rf)- and Rose Bengal (RB)-photosensitized degradation of ESD and the model Compound 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol (THN), irradiating with visible light (>400nm), have been studied in methanolic solution by stationary photolysis, polarographic detection of dissolved oxygen, stationary and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, and laser flash photolysis. Rf (Vitamin B-2) is a known human endogenous photosensitizer present as traces in most natural waters. The irradiation of Rf in the presence of ESD triggers complex competitive reactions that finally produce the photodegradation of both ESD and, to a lesser extent, RE ESD quenches singlet and triplet excited states of Rf, (1)Rf* and (3)Rf*, respectively. The quenching of (3)Rf* with ESD gives rise, through an electron transfer process. to the semireduced form of the pigment, Rf(center dot-), a species that generates superoxide radical anion, O-2(center dot-), Moreover, energy transfer from 3Rf* to dissolved molecular oxygengenerates the oxidative species singlet molecular oxygen, O-2 ((1)Delta(g)). Both O-2(center dot-) and O-2 ((1)Delta(g)) produce the photodegradation of ESD. The exclusively O-2((1)Delta(g))-mediated photooxidation mechanism was studied employing the artificial dye RB as a sensitizer. a very efficient process especially in alkaline medium. Several photooxidation products, likely generated through the primary oxidation of the aromatic ring of ESD, have been detected Under this experimental condition by means of HPLC/MS techniques.
