Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoformulation of the Broad-Spectrum Enzyme Inhibitor Mancozeb by Polyethylene Glycol Capping and Its Dissipation Kinetics in Water Using TiO2 Nanoparticles

The poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) capped mancozeb nanoformulation was prepared by the ultrasonic method using a 1% solution and 20% capping agent, PEG-4000. synthesized characterized UV-visible, FTIR, SEM TEM techniques. photolytic photo catalytic experiments were carried out in Borosil glass bottle presence of sunlight, varying pH proportions at single fortification level (1.0 g/mL) ground water, under sunlight. optimal catalyst concentration for complete degradation observed to be 0.1 percent. water determined HPLC-PDA method, rate constant 50% (DT50) values calculated based on results. results show that there is no significant loss residues due adsorption. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) discovered an excellent decontaminating variety samples. compound survives several days absence catalyst.
