Furthermore, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry results indicated that the degradation pathway of acetone was as follows: acetone ((CH3)2CO*) → enolate complexes ((CH2) = C(CH3) O*) → acetaldehyde ((CH3CHO*) → acetate (CH3COO*) → formate (HCOO*) → CO2 and H2O.
