Abstract
⺠The photo-Fenton reaction provides an efficient process by which to degrade esfenvalerate in aqueous suspensions. ⺠Photo-Fenton oxidation with Fe3+ is more efficient in degrading esfenvalerate than the Fe2+-based reaction. ⺠Esfenvalerate was degraded most efficiently by photo-Fenton reaction in the presence of 5 mM Fe3+ complex and 25 mM hydrogen peroxide at pH 2.5. ⺠The degradation of esfenvalerate by photo-Fenton (Fe3+) generates organic by-products. ⺠Organic compounds present in commercial esfenvalerate-based insecticides affect the degradation process.
