Three types of chitosan with high (3.40 × 10⁶), medium (2.11 × 10⁵), and low (5.89 × 10⁴) molecular weights were chosen as ligands to synthesize chitosan magnesium, calcium, iron(III), and zinc coordination complexes. Degradation of four organophosphorous pesticides (dichlorvos, omethoate, dimethoate, and chlorpyrifos) by the above complexes in a heterogeneous system was studied using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography (GC). The degradation effect is related to the different types of chitosan, metal, and organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). Complexes of transition metals and the low molecular weight chitosan showed high hydrolytic activity. The chitosan-iron(III) complex was further used to study its catalytic kinetics on the hydrolysis of OPs. At pH 7.0 and 20 °C, the half-life of dichlorvos hydrolyzed by chitosan iron(III) was 52 h, whereas that of spontaneous dichlorvos hydrolysis was 105 h. The degradation ratio of omethoate and dimethoate increased to 38 and 52 %, respectively, which were 34 and 48 % higher than the control after 6 days at pH 7.0 and 20 °C. For all tested conditions, an increase of pH and temperature resulted in a higher degradation rate.
