Photodegradation of chlorbromuron, atrazine, and alachlor in aqueous systems under solar irradiation

Photodegradation of Insecticide Chlorpyrifos in Aqueous Solution under Simulated Solar Light Irradiation Conditions using Babolrood River Water

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide, used to control foliage and soil-borne insect pests on a variety of food and feed crops. In the natural environment, Chlorpyrifos can be degraded  through  several  possible  processes,  including  photodegradation, biodegradation,  and hydrolysis.  In  the  present  work  the  photodegradation  and  environmental  fate  of  Chlorpyrifos  in aqueo...

Photodegradation of Insecticide Diazinon under Simulated Solar Light Irradiation Conditions and Identification of Photoproducts

The photodegradation of the organophosphorus insecticide diazinon with a high probability to contaminate aquatic environments under simulated solar light irradiation conditions on natural water of a river in North of Iran has been studied. During exposure to solar natural light, diazinon is broken down and produced photoproducts in environment. The degradation of the insecticide was a 32 hour p...

Release of Atrazine and Alachlor from Clay-Oxamide Controlled-ReleaseFormulations¤

Controlled-release herbicide formulations have been shown to decrease the leaching potential of several herbicides under laboratory and Ðeld conditions. The utility and efficacy of these formulations may be improved by combining several herbicides and a fertilizer source in a single formulation. The objective of these studies was to develop granular alginate formulations that were composed of a...

Volatilization of Alachlor and Atrazine as Influenced by Surface Litter

Photodegradation of o-cresol by ZnO under UV irradiation

The effective removal of o-cresol is currently both an environmental problem. This paper shows how degradation of o-cresol was carried out, in the presence of UV; by ZnO as photocatalyst. To measure the efficiency of photodegradation, the different variables studied included amount of photocatalyst, concentration of o-cresol and pH. The results showed photodegradation was favorable in the pH 6-...
