Photocatalytic oxidation of cyanide in aqueous solutions of poly(sodium styrenesulfonate-co-2-vinylnaphthalene).
Photosensitized by poly (sodium styrenesulfonate-co-2-vinylnaphthalene) (PSSS-VN) oxidation of cyanide in an aqueous solution was studied. The reaction was found to occur via photoinduced electron transfer from CN- to the polymeric chromophores. The process leads to formation of NCO-.
