The paper presents the kinetics and proposed pathways photodegradation and photooxidation of p-arsanilic acid, in a neutral environment by ozone and hydrogen peroxide. The results showed that in a neutral environment, photoozonation process was characterized by the highest decomposition rate constant (k) (k = 31.8 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹). The rate constants decreased in the order UV/O₃ > O₃ > UV/H₂O₂ > H₂O₂ > UV. It was also found that under pH = 7, decomposition of p-arsanilic acid leads mainly to the formation of aniline, which undergoes secondary reactions. Intermediate products of oxidation and photooxidation by hydrogen peroxide like nitrobenzene, nitrophenol, azobenzenes, and phenylazophenol were identified depending on processes. However, in the photodegradation process, formation of nitrasone as a reaction product of p-arsanilic acid with oxygen in the singlet state was observed. In the case of ozonation and photoozonation, in addition, aniline formation of carboxylic acids was observed.
