Año: 2015; p. 17 - 28

Soluble bio-based substances (SBO) extracted from urban bio-wastes have similar chemical properties to humic substances (HS) present in natural waters and soils. Therefore, SBO are also expected to have photochemical properties similar to HS. In this chapter, a summary of the photochemistry of HS is presented along with the recent advances related to the photogeneration of reactive species upon irradiation of aqueous solutions of SBO and some examples of pollutant degradation photo-induced by SBO
