Atrazine treatment with heterogeneous photo-Fenton like oxidation using statically approach
Abstract
Atrazine
(ATZ) which is a triazine herbicide can be used for the control weeds on
agricultural land and it is classified as an endocrine disrupting pesticide.
ATZ is persistent in water and soil due to its half-life and slow degradation
by means of sunlight and microorganism. The heterogeneous Fenton process is an
effective technique for degrading atrazine because of the oxidation and
adsorption of pollutants by hydroxyl radical. The hydroxyl radical formation
has been accelerated by addition of hydrogen peroxide and magnetite.
heterogeneous Photo-Fenton like oxidation were executed to remove atrazine in
this study. Effects of independent variables namely the concentrations of
atrazine, hydrogen peroxide and magnetite on atrazine removal efficiency were
investigated by using the surface response analysis. Atrazine degradation was
completely achieved with an hour. Optimal H2O2/Magnetite/ATZ
ratio resulting by optimum atrazine removal efficiency (97.5%) was determined
as 10/5/0.7, respectively.
