A non-enzymic system containing CuSO4 (10 mmol/L) and hydrogen peroxide (100 mmol/L) was used for the degradation of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: phenanthrene, fluoranthene, and pyrene (all at 10 mmol/L). The system degraded the compounds rapidly and efficiently. After 1 d at room temperature, more than 80% of pyrene, phenanthrene, and fluoranthene disappeared. Several products are formed during the reaction including a black precipitate.
