This study investigated the kinetics and reaction mechanisms associated with advanced oxidation of 2,4‐dinitroanisole (DNAN) with light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the UV/H2O2 process. The pseudo first‐order reaction rate constants for DNAN oxidation depended on the H2O2/DNAN molar ratio and were betw...
