The rates of Diuron elimination by some advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as Fe(III)/UV, Ferrioxalate/UV, Fe(III)/H(2)O(2)/UV, Ferrioxalate/UV/H(2)O(2) and Fe(III)/H(2)O(2) have been compared. Experiments have been conducted at pH=2.3+/-0.1 with a batch reactor equipped with a low-pressure mercury lamp emitting mainly at 253.7 nm. Data obtained under the following experimental conditions ([H(2)O(2)](0)=10(-3)M, [Diuron](0)=5 x 10(-5)M and [Fe(III)](0)=10(-3)M) have shown that rates of Diuron oxidation were higher with the systems Fe(III)/H(2)O(2)/UV and Ferrioxalate/UV/H(2)O(2) than with Fe(III)/UV and Fe(III)/H(2)O(2). On the other hand, Fe(III)/UV was found to be very efficient in mineralization of Diuron solution in comparison to direct UV photolysis. The experimental results showed that radical ()OH is the major pathway in the process of Diuron degradation.

Biocides are incorporated into building surface materials to protect them against algae and fungi growth. When such treated surfaces are exposed to precipitation, they may release these biocides, contaminating receiving water bodies. To regulate the use of biocidal products in line with the European Biocidal Products Regulation it is crucial to identify the precise origin of this type of pollutant.

Diuron (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) is an herbicide used in many crops, including sugar cane cultivation. It is commonly found in aquatic ecosystem and is of high concern due to its ability to persist in the environment. Diuron metabolites include DCA (3,4-dichloroaniline) and DCPMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl-1-methylurea).

Water and wastewater pollution by acetamiprid and diuron is considered a serious environmental problem. In this study, chitosan (CHS), a naturally occurring bioadsorbent considered ecologically harmless to remove these micropollutants, was developed as a possible carrier to immobilize laccase (Lac) from Trametes trogii. Polyethylene glycol methyl ether (PEGME) was chosen for blending CHS, so a hybrid biocatalyst-based Lac/CHS-PEGME membrane was prepared.
