Diphenylamine (DPA) in ethanol on the surface of ZrO2 undergoes photoinduced oxidative transformation yielding N-phenyl-p-benzoquinonimine (PBQ). The light-induced transformation on ZrO2 enhances with [DPA], ZrO2-loading, airflow rate and photon flux. The formation of PBQ on ZrO2 is larger on illumination at 254 nm than at 365 nm. The ZrO2 is reusable without any treatment. The mechanism of light-induced oxidative transformation of DPA on ZrO2 has been discussed with appropriate kinetic law. ZnO and ZnS enhance the UV light-induced transformation of DPA on ZrO2 indicating synergism
