Sonophotocatalytic (42Â kHz) degradation of Simazine in the presence of Au-TiO2 nanocatalysts

- 42 kHz ultrasound assisted Au and Au-TiO2 nanocatalysts were synthesized.
- Mineralization of Simazine was studied by various advanced oxidation processes.
- Intermediates produced from the Simazine were analyzed by ESI-MS analysis.
- A suitable mechanism was proposed for the Simazine degradation.
