Degradação dos herbacidas glifosato, MSMA E 2,4-D Através de processos oxidativos avançados e fotodegradação usando rediação ultravioleta

Abstract

Agrochemicals are everyday in the environment by eliminating raw sewage, effluent from treatment plants and indiscriminate use in crops, causing damage to the aquatic and terrestrial biota. Forms of degradation that allow a complete elimination of these pollutants, which act by oxidizing them to substances in the subject, were the subject of research of the present work. Advanced oxidation methods (POAs) emerge as a new technology with the potential to obtain excellent results in the oxidation of complex organic substances, as they allow the complete degradation of organic substances by oxidizing them like carbon dioxide, water and inorganic ions or enabling a transformation of substances Complex in other more biodegradable. There is no work to study the feasibility of photo-Fenton POAs and UV / H2O2 system, as well as ultraviolet photodegradation in three pesticides, 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), MSMA (Monosodium methylarsenate ), and Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine). It was observed an influence of the hydrogen peroxide variation in the degradation rates of the studied processes, as well as an update of the photodegradation by UV light. Second, the best results were for 2,4-D at the concentration of 20 mg / L of hydrogen peroxide in approximately 100% degradation in the first 60 minutes of the test and glyphosate in the three tests carried out, [C] [OH-] [1]: [1] the most effective in terms of rate of degradation. The experiments showed important degradation results, giving effectiveness to the oxidation processes.
