Removal of Phenylurea Herbicides from Waters by using Chemical Oxidation Treatments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four phenylurea herbicides (isoproturon, chlortoluron, diuron and linuron) were dissolved in different water matrices in order to study their chemical degradation by using UV radiation, ozone and some advanced oxidation processes (UV/H2O2, O3/H2O2, Fenton reagent and the photoFenton system). The waters used were: ultra-pure water, a commercial mineral water, a groundwater and a surface water taken from a reservoir. Elimination levels were established for each herbicide and for several global quality parameters, and a kinetic study was performed in order to determine basic kinetic parameters of each reaction between the target phenylureas and these oxidizing systems. Keywords—Phenylurea herbicides; UV radiation; Ozone; Fenton reagent; Hydroxyl radicals; Rate constants; Quantum yields.

Microbial degradation of isoproturon and related phenylurea herbicides in and below agricultural fields.
Abstract The phenylurea herbicides are an important group of pesticides used extensively for pre- or post-emergence weed control in cotton, fruit and cereal crops worldwide. The detection of phenylurea herbicides and their metabolites in surface and ground waters has raised the awareness of the important role played by agricultural soils in determining water quality. The degradation of phenylur...
