Description
Summary:Anodic Fenton treatment has been developed to treat pesticides in rinse water. The process is described, and results are presented from its application to treat Treflan MTF super( registered ), which is an emulsifiable concentrate with trifluralin as the active ingredient. The method was optimized in terms of iron and hydrogen peroxide delivery, and simple degradation kinetics for trifluralin and the main ingredient of Treflan MTF super( registered ) were determined. The results showed that triflurlin degraded quite slowly over the course of treatment, displaying an optimal Fe super(2+):H sub(2)O sub(2) delivery ratio of 1:1 for 100 and 40 mu M trifluralin and 1:10 for 15 mu M trifluralin. The main ingredient of Treflan MTF super( registered ), however, was degraded rapidly and completely, with an optimal Fe super(2+):H sub(2)O sub(2) delivery ratio of 1:5.
