The study of kinetic of silver catalytic degradation of phoxim.

In this study, we scrutinized the degradation process of phoxim in the presence of Ag+ ions, maintaining a 1:1 molar ratio under diverse temperature conditions. Phoxim was chosen as the model compound to devise experimental methodologies that would shed light on the kinetic and degradation pathways within a time span of 0 to 184 min across varying temperatures. The Arrhenius equation was harnessed to ascertain the activation energies linked with the degradation of phoxim. The application of the Arrhenius equation enables the computation of the reaction constant at a given temperature, thereby paving the way for the prediction of phoxim concentrations at different temperatures. The second-order rate constant for the reaction was observed to lie within the range of 0.035 to 0.128 L mol-1min-1, and the half-life of the reaction fluctuated between 5.2 and 17 min across different temperatures.•The study investigates the degradation of phoxim in the presence of Ag+ ions at various temperatures.•The Arrhenius equation was used to calculate the activation energies and predict phoxim concentrations at different temperatures.•The second-order rate constant for the reaction ranged from 0.035 to 0.128 L mol-1min-1, with the half-life varying between 5.2 and 17 min.
