Abstract

The degradation of oxamyl in purified water has been studied in the process of photolysis under polychromatic radiation (λ> 285 nm), process of photolysis in homogeneous media using a combination of ultraviolet light (λ = 253.7 nm) with hydrogen peroxide H2O2/UV and process of photolysis in heterogeneous media using a quasi-monochromatic irradiation (λ = 365 nm) in aqueous suspensions containing natural phosphate (NP). Upon polychromatic excitation, apparent first-order kinetic constants have been determined. For oxidation by H2O2/UV the rate constant of the reaction of hydroxyl radicals HO• with oxamyl, determined by kinetic experiments, was evaluated to be equal to 2,45.109 L.mol-1s-1. The same primary photoproducts: the isomer (E) and nitrile derivative (N,N-dimethyl-2-nitrilo-acetamide) have been formed in the process of photolysis under polychromatic radiation and the process H2O2/UV. In the case of the phototransfomation of oxamyl in the presence of NP, a single photoproduct was identified by LC/MS analysis as the derivative of oxime..
