Abstract:In the present work, the UV/H2O2 process was applied to evaluate the degradation of an industrial wastewater coming from a pesticide formulation plant. Commercial pesticides were added to reach an approximate initial value of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Carbon Oxygen Demand (COD) of 70 and 160 mg L− 1 respectively. Five pesticides were evaluated: atrazine, prometryn, imidacloprid, glyphosate and carbendazim. pH and R (ratio between initial H2O2 and initial TOC concentrations in mM) were varied in three leve… Show more
