Photocatalytic degradation of triazophos in aqueous titanium dioxide suspension: Identification of intermediates and degradation pathways

Adsorption isotherm and kinetic modeling of 2,4-D pesticide on activated carbon derived from date stones

“…Several methods are available for pesticides removal such as photocatalytic degradation [3,4], combined photo-Fenton and biological oxidation [5], advanced oxidation processes [6], aerobic degradation [7], nanofiltration membranes [8], ozonation [9] and adsorption [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Adsorption on activated carbon is the most widespread technology used to deal with purification of water contaminated by pesticides [19], dyes [20][21][22] and phenols [23], etc.…”

Removal of triazophos pesticide from wastewater with Fenton reagent

“…1). Triazophos is a moderately toxic chemical that is a broad spectrum, and nonsystemic organophosphorus pesticide that is used in large quantities throughout the world [1]. Wastewater discharged from the production of triazophos pesticide is highly poisonous and harmful liquid that has a high COD concentration and is refractory for treatment.…”

“…Some researches have proved that sorption by rice bran and rice husk [5] or photocatalysis with TiO 2 [1] is effective in the removal of triazophos, but methods that are more simple, rapid and practical for triazophos removal from pesticidic polluted water still requires further investigation. Iron and iron ions were widely used as enhancing agents or catalysts in treating the environmental pollutants characterized as highly toxic and difficult to biodegrade, such as those in the reductive dechlorination process * Corresponding author.…”
