The degradation rate of PhOH increase significantly in the presence of O2.
HCOOH and HCOO– have more significant effects than t-BuOH in O2-free solutions.
t-BuOH, HCOOH and HCOO– have nearly the same effects in the presence of O2.
The contributions of HO2/O2
– to the transformation of PhOH are negligible.
HO2/O2
– contributes mainly to the formation of H2O2.
