Oxidative Detoxification of Organomercury Pesticides

A method of oxidative mineralization of the organomercury granozan pesticide commercial form under mild conditions was investigated. The product components of hazard class 1 were destructed to the low-toxic compounds in the electrolyte under the oxidants electrochemically formed in situ in sulphuric acid solutions of pesticide. Simultaneously, at the cathode, the mercury ions formed as a result of the pesticide organic component destruction process reduce up to more than 90%.
