The effect of suspended sediments on the photolysis of organics in water / by B.G. Oliver, E.G. Cosgrove and J.H. Carey.: En37-180/1978E-PDF
"An assessment of the role of suspended sediments and clays-on the rate and mechanism of photolysis of pollutants in water was carried out. It was found that even though semiconductor powders such as Ti02 could photocatalyze the decomposition of organics such as methyl alcohol and p-dichlorobenzene in water, no such reaction occurred with naturally occurring suspended sediments or clays. The sediments and clays were found to decrease the rate of photolysis of pollutants such as methoxychlor by shielding the pollutant from the available light"--Abstract.
