Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of three-selected herbicide derivatives: (1) picloram (4-Amino-3,5,6-trichloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid, (2) dicamba (2-Methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid, and (3) floumeturon (N,N-Dimethyl-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-urea) has been investigated in aqueous suspensions of titanium dioxide under a variety of conditions. The degradation was studied by monitoring the change in substrate concentration employing UV spectroscopic technique and decrease in total organic carbon (TOC) content as a function of irradiation time under a variety of conditions. The degradation of the herbicide was studied under different conditions such as pH, catalyst concentration, substrate concentration, different types of TiO2, and in the presence of electron acceptors such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), potassium bromate (KBrO3), and ammonium persulphate (NH4)(2)S2O8 besides molecular oxygen. The degradation rates were found to be strongly influenced by all the above parameters. The photocatalyst Degussa P25 was found to be more efficient as compared with other photocatalysts in the case of dicamba (2) and floumeturon (3), whereas Hombikat UV100 was found to be better for the degradation of picloram (1). The herbicide picloram (1) was found to degrade faster as compared to dicamba (2) and floumeturon (3). The degradation products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique, and plausible mechanisms for the formation of products have been proposed.
