Performance of electro-oxidation (EO) and UV/electro-oxidation (UV/EO) on atrazine (ATZ) removal was investigated under various operating factors. Because of synergistic effect on ATZ removal, UV/EO was the most effective process, followed by UV/chlorine, EO, UV irradiation, and chlorination, respectively. Although the energy consumption of UV/EO for 90% removal was similar to that of EO, UV/EO removed ATZ 1.8 times faster than EO. Boron doped diamond (BDD) exhibited greater ATZ removal than dimensionally stable anode (DSA), and performance of BDD was stable for treatment of 50 cycle times (100 h). Performance of EO and UV/EO on ATZ removal increased with higher current density and low pH. ATZ removal by EO and UV/EO was independent to NaCl concentrations (300-1000 mg.L). HO• played a major role on ATZ removal, while the role of RCS was minor. The 2nd-order reaction rate constant of HO• with ATZ (k) was 1.36 × 10 Ms. Although phytotoxicity was a sensitive endpoint to ATZ, different inhibition on germination of Ipomoea aquatica and Oryza sativa L. (Khao Dawk Mali 105) seeds was observed. UV/EO was the most effective process for ATZ detoxication. Germination index of Ipomoea aquatica and Oryza sativa L. (Khao Dawk Mali 105) seeds for samples treated by UV/EO was equivalent or greater than the control sample.

The activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by cobalt-based catalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants has been widely studied, while the role of coexisting anions has received little attention. In this study, the performance of atrazine (ATZ) degradation by the addition of fluoride ions (F) in the activation of PMS by cobalt ferrite (CoFeO) was investigated. The addition of F to the CoFeO/PMS system increased ATZ degradation effect from 82 % to 98 % within 10 min, and the rate increased from 0.

The discharge of herbicides is a primary contributor to water contamination, presenting significant environmental and public health hazards. Encapsulating herbicides in a chemical compound called MAl-MOF/CS-CMC hydrogel bead (MACC) made from magnetic aluminum metal-organic frameworks (MAl-MOF) and crosslinked with chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) shows promise for potential use. The research successfully developed and examined MACC microspheres, utilizing various analytical techniques including PXRD, FESEM, TEM, FT-IR, and XPS.

Article Synopsis
- Humans face extensive exposure to pesticides in the environment, leading to severe health issues, making it critical to detoxify contaminated water before it enters aquatic systems.
- Conventional methods fall short in effectively removing pesticides, but graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN; GCN) materials may serve as efficient and affordable catalysts for this purpose.
- This study reviews various GCN-based photocatalytic processes, examining key operational factors and detailing effective methods for modifying GCN to improve its pesticide degradation performance, with a focus on specific pesticides like atrazine and malathion.
