A spiral photoreactor system (SPS) was developed for the degradation of 4-tert-octylphenol (4-t-OP) in aqueous phase.4-t-OP was previously considered as a endocrine disrupting compound frequently present in water.The direct photodegradation reaction caused by the SPS was found to accord with the characteristic of apparent first-order reaction with reaction rate constant k =4.8 × 10-2 min-1.However,the direct photodegradation reaction could not make the 4-t-OP mineralized.The photodegradation efficiency-increased from 88％ to 91.2％ in 45 min irradiation period after the internal surface of SPS was sintered with TiO2 thin film as catalyst.Catalyst concentration,number of catalyst coating layers and initial concentration of 4-t-OP were proven to be the factors affecting the photocatalytic degradation performance of the SPS on aqueous 4-t-OP.The degradation mechanism was investigated and the byproducts were analyzed using total organic carbon analyzer (TOC) and LC-MS.The possible chemical structures of the products were suggested.SPS with single layer of TiO2 prepared by sintering 13.6％ of TiO2 precursor was proven to be more efficient than most of previous systems for removal of 4-t-OP from aqueous phase.28.3％ of the 4-t-OP was mineralized in 45 min according to the decreased amount of TOC value.
