Abstract
Decomposition by ionizing radiations of two pesticides (Lannate and Fenvalerate) present in an aqueous solution has been studied on laboratory-scale experiments. The effect of pH of the solution, the concentration of the pesticide and the irradiation dose on the degradation process was investigated. Gamma-irradiation was carried out in air and in combination with nitrogen, oxygen and ozone. Lannate showed more degradation than Fenvalerate in all conditions investigated. Radiation was not enough to achieve the complete decomposition of the pesticides. Adsorption of the pollutants after irradiation was achieved using granular activated carbon (GAC) and two anion exchangers (Dowex 1-X8 and Lewatit AP 246).
