Photodegradation of Insecticide Chlorpyrifos in Aqueous Solution under Simulated Solar Light Irradiation Conditions using Babolrood River Water
Authors
Abstract:
Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide, used to control foliage and soil-borne insect pests on a variety of food and feed crops. In the natural environment, Chlorpyrifos can be degraded through several possible processes, including photodegradation, biodegradation, and hydrolysis. In the present work the photodegradation and environmental fate of Chlorpyrifos in aqueous phase under simulated natural conditions in the presence of artificial UV-light was investigated. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identification of Chlorpyrifos photodegradation products suggested the formation of only one major product, i.e., Chlorpyrifosoxon. Based on the structurally identified photoproduct a plausible degradation pathway is proposed for the photolysis of Chlorpyrifos in natural water over UV irradiated.

Photodegradation of Insecticide Diazinon under Simulated Solar Light Irradiation Conditions and Identification of Photoproducts
The photodegradation of the organophosphorus insecticide diazinon with a high probability to contaminate aquatic environments under simulated solar light irradiation conditions on natural water of a river in North of Iran has been studied. During exposure to solar natural light, diazinon is broken down and produced photoproducts in environment. The degradation of the insecticide was a 32 hour p...

Two lamps, including simulated sunlight lamp and UVA-365 nm lamp, were used to study the kinetics and changes of component distribution of NPEOs mixture in solution during photodegradation, as well as the effect of H2O2 on the photodegradation. LC-MS was used to analyze the products of NPEOs photodegradation. It was found that photodegradation of NPEOs occurred under both simulated sunlight and...

Carboxymethyl chitosan was prepared by reacting chitosan with chloroacetic acid in water under microwave irradiation. The effect of the reaction conditions was investigated and optimal conditions were identified. The influence of mass ratio of chloroacetic acid to chitosan, microwave power and pH on the degree of substitution or intrinsic viscosity were further studied. The degree of substituti...
full textIdentification of mercury methylation product by tert-butyl compounds in aqueous solution under light irradiation.
The methylation of mercury (Hg) is of great concern as methylmercury (MeHg), the most toxic species, is produced. This study examined the possibilities of tert-butyl compounds (tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBH)) and other alcohols serving as methyl donors for Hg photo-methylation under light irradiation. The yield of MeHg varied among the methyl donors, and it was also...
