Abstract
A Fe-TAML/H2O2 catalytic oxidation process achieves facile in-solution total degradation of fenitrothion and two other organophosphorus (OP) pesticides. Degradation products have been identified and quantified providing evidence for oxidative hydrolysis, oxidative desulfuration, perhydrolysis, and deep oxidation. Degradation pathways can be selected by pH control to completely obviate all toxic residuals. Aquatic toxicity assays support the environmental compatibility of the degradation process.Entities:
