PHOTOREDUCTION OF METHYLENE BLUE BOUND TO SODIUM DODECYLE SULFATE MICELLES
Photochemical reduction of methylene blue bound to sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles is inhibited in a given concentration range of a reductant (EDTA). The concentration dependence of EDTA on the quantum yield shows a sigmoidal type, which is explained by the mechanistic interpretations consisting of the ionic strength effect and the essential concentration effect of EDTA.
