Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Degradation of Selected Organophosphate Pesticides: A Review
2012
Sud, Dhiraj | Paramjeet Kaur,
This review is an attempt to summarize the research carried out on heterogeneous photocatalytic treatment of selected organophosphates present invariably in shallow and ground water supplies. The basic principle of semiconductor-mediated photocatalytic process, experimental conditions used, optimization of the parameters affecting the efficiency, and degradation mechanism has been explained. The kinetics of organophosphate degradation and the analytical techniques for identification of intermediates have been reviewed. The by-products and intermediates formed along with the proposed pathways for the degradation of various subclasses of organophosphate pesticides are widely discussed.
