The mineralisation of methamidophos using ionised AN air water treatment pilot system and ultraviolet irradiation.

The degradation of methamidophos in pure bi-distilled water (with initial concentration 5 mg L(-1), pH = 7 at the beginning) was studied. For the first time, 2 ionised air water treatment pilot systems (IAPS-1, -2, no additives) were set up (Figs. 1 and 2).
