Abstract
The decomposition of dioxin analogues by the infrared (IR) laser irradiationincludes the thermal destruction and the multiple-photon dissociation. It is importantfor the decomposition to choose the laser wavelength which is highly absorbed .The thermal . decomposition takes place by the irradiation of the low IR laserpower. Taking the model of thermal decomposition into consideration, it is proposedin the first time that the adjacent water molecules assist the decomposition of dioxin analogues in addition to the thermal decomposition by the direct laser absorption .
