Photocatalytic decomposition of pendimethalin and alachlor

Identification of metabolites during biodegradation of pendimethalin in bioslurry reactor

“…Its widespread usage led to its detection as contaminant in soil, ground water, surface water and air [1][2][3][4][5]. Pendimethalin is normally degraded through photo-degradation, volatilization or by biodegradation [6][7][8][9][10]. Several soil fungi were found to degrade pendimethalin as a sole carbon source in mineral solution [11][12][13].…”

Products and mechanisms of the heterogeneous reaction of three suspended herbicide particles with NO3 radicals

“…The ozonation of alachlor in water also involves three major pathways: Ndealkylation, cyclization, and carbonylation (Qiang et al, 2010). In the photolysis of aqueous alachlor, N-dealkylation, carbonylation to the side chain, and hydroxylate to the benzene were observed (Moza et al, 1992). Generally, regardless of the medium, the dealkylation, cyclization, and carbonylation are the main transformation processes observed.…”

Immobilized titania nanophotocatalysis: Degradation, modeling and toxicity reduction of agricultural pollutants

“…A review of past research revealed that the photocatalytic degradation of Alachlor [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] and Fenitrothion [18,19,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] was carried out but no researches had been carried out to CFD modeling the photocatalytic degradation of pesticides in literature. The objective of this paper is degradation, to model the degradation and mineralization of pesticides by nanophotocatalysis using immobilized titania.…”
