The influence of Н2О2 on the degradation of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) in water-ethanol solutions under the action of KrCl and XeBr excilamp radiation in a photoreactor is investigated. A kinematic model of photodegradation of the investigated molecule is constructed. In water-ethanol solutions the addition of Н2О2 altered the mechanism of decay of 8-MOP under the action of a KrCl excilamp in comparison with irradiation by a XeBr excilamp. This behavior is explained by the fact that the action of 283 nm radiation leads to accumulation of a stable photoproduct. In order to establish the toxicity of this product further research is needed.
