The photocatalytic degradation of the insecticide fenitrothion was performed in the water solution in the presence of TiO2 by UV illumination. NMR spectrocopy showed that the decomposition of the initial substrate and all intermediates formed to the mineralization end products is completed in 66.3 hours. This fact was used to establish the possible mechanisms of the degradation process. The obtained results show that this method may have an important application in the removal of fenitrothion from water.
