Radiolytic decomposition of pesticide carbendazim in waters and wastes for environmental protection

Radiolytic decomposition of pesticide carbendazim in waters and wastes for environmental protection

The radiolytic degradation of widely used fungicide, carbendazim, in synthetic aqueous solutions and industrial wastewater was investigated employing γ-irradiation. The effect of the absorbed dose, initial concentration and pH of irradiated solution on the effectiveness of carbendazim decomposition were investigated. Decomposition of carbendazim in 100 μM concentration in synthetic aqueous solu...

Chemical Treatment Options for Pesticide Wastes Disposal

The development of chemical means of detoxification of pesticide wastes and spills is an increasingly important endeavor for the pesticide industry. The objective of this paper is to review some of the chemical degradation methods for pesticide decontamination that exist today. I n presenting each method, less emphasis has been put on technical detail of the method and more emphasis has been pu...

Phytoremediation of pesticide wastes in soil.

Soils at agrochemical dealer sites often are contaminated with pesticide residues from decades of accidental and incidental spillage. We have determined that prairie grasses native to the Midwestern U.S. are suitable for phytoremediation because they are tolerant of most herbicides and of climatic extremes, such as heat, cold, drought, and flooding. A mixed stand of big bluestem, switch grass, ...

Pesticide toxicity, human subjects, and the Environmental Protection Agency's dilemma.

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
