Photo-oxidative destruction of hemoglobin in aqueous solutions using high-intensity pulsed continuous-spectrum radiation

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

A new oxidative process for the destruction of organic proteinaceous compounds in aqueous solutions, based on the combined use of high-intensity pulsed continuous-spectrum radiation and hydrogen peroxide, is proposed and tested experimentally. The radiation source was a high-power pulsed xenon lamp. Studies using an aqueous hemoglobin solution as an example demonstrated the efficient photo-oxidative destruction of a protein, accompanied by significant decreases in chemical oxygen consumption and dry residue. This process might be used in the development of new techniques for cleansing effluents from contemporary industrial drugs and biochemicals production facilities.
