ALONSO, Fátima; FERNANDEZ RIOS, Danilo  and  CAPPARELLI, Alberto L.. Metomyl photo-degradation kinetics through advanced oxidation technologies. Rep. cient. FACEN [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.1, pp.10-18. ISSN 2222-145X.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rcfacen.2020.11.1.10.

The photodegradation of contaminants through advanced oxidation processes (POA) constitutes a modern research field in chemistry and environmental physical chemistry. This paper presents the advances made in said field, which are exemplified through the development of a photoreactor of simple design which takes advantage of sunlight tfor the degradation of frequently used insecticides in Paraguay, with potential applications in rural or isolated regions. As an example of application, the insecticide Methomyl was selected, which is widely used in agriculture in Paraguay.

Keywords : Heterogeneous photocatalysis; methomyl; TiO2; photoreactor.
