Titanium dioxide-mediated heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of Terbufos (cas 13071-79-9): Parameter study and reaction pathways

Add time:09/25/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

The photocatalytic degradation of terbufos in aqueous suspensions was investigated by using titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a photocatalyst. About 99% of terbufos was degraded after UV irradiation for 90 min. Factors such as pH of the system, TiO2 dosage, and presence of anions were found to influence the degradation rate. Photodegradation of terbufos by TiO2/UV exhibited pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics, and a reaction quantum yield of 0.289. The electrical energy consumption per order of magnitude for photocatalytic degradation of terbufos was calculated and showed that a moderated efficiency (EEO = 71 kWh/(m3 order)) was obtained in TiO2/UV process. To obtain a better understanding of the mechanistic details of this TiO2-assisted photodegradation of terbufos with UV irradiation, the intermediates of the processes were separated, identified, and characterized by the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique. The probable photodegradation pathways were proposed and discussed.
