Abstract:

Copper dopped Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared as a photo-catalyst by using a precipitation method for the removal of diclosulam pesticide in water. The experiment was performed under direct sunlight at a single fortification level (1 µg/ml) at different pH levels (pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0). The optimum catalyst concentration recommended for complete degradation was found as 100 mg/L under sunlight. Diclosulam residues in water were determined by HPLC- UV detector and the rate constant and DT50 values were calculated from the obtained data. Based on the results we observed that Cu-Zn NPs acted as excellent photocatalyst for the decontaminating of the diclosulam pesticide residues in water samples.
