Degradation of chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and chlorothalonil pesticides in aqueous solution by FeGAC/H2O2 process

This study examined the degradation of pesticide aqueous solution containing chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and chlorothalonil by the FeGAC/H2O2 process. Under the operating conditions (FeGAC 5 g/L, H2O2 concentration 100 mg/L and pH 3), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon removal were...

description This study examined the degradation of pesticide aqueous solution containing chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and chlorothalonil by the FeGAC/H2O2 process. Under the operating conditions (FeGAC 5 g/L, H2O2 concentration 100 mg/L and pH 3), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon removal were 96.2 and 79.2%, respectively, and biodegradability (BOD5/COD ratio) increased from 0 to 0.40 after 60 min reaction. Complete degradation of chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and chlorothalonil pesticides active ingredients occurred in 1 min. Kinetic models such as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion were evaluated. The Fourier transform infrared spectra (treated and untreated pesticide aqueous solutions) also indicated modification and/or degradation of the pesticide organic bonds. The study showed that FeGAC/H2O2 process can be used for the pretreatment of pesticide aqueous solution containing chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and chlorothalonil before further treatment by biological process.
