Abstract

The photodegradation of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) by U.V. radiation has been studied. A possible sequence of photodecomposition has been postulated throught the characterization of the main photoproducts. The photodegradation can also be carried out by simulated sunlight and sensitizers from agricultural wastes. It has been proved that riboflavine, contained in husk rice, is one of the most effective sensitizers to degrade MCPA
