The potential for the formation of chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via photochlorination of PAHs has been investigated in milli-Q water/synthetic water containing NaCl and PAHs with either UV or visible light. The photochlorination of pyrene occurred under acidic conditions in the presence of both UV and visible light, resulting in 1-chloropyrene as the main product. Benzo[a]pyrene yielded 6-chlorobenzo[a]pyrene following visible light irradiation; however the reaction was dependent upon solution pH. The photochlorination of PAHs was proposed to proceed via a consecutive reaction model. The rate constants associated with the photochlorination and photodecay processes were determined with the observed and theoretical values displaying similar trends, whereas the observed values were approximately 50–1000 times lower than the theoretical values. The lower observed values could be due to undergo photodecay rather than photochlorination of PAHs. Therefore, as photochlorination of PAHs appears to be significantly affected by solution pH, this information may allow for minimizing the impact on the environment.
