Abstract:
      Thiamethoxam, one of neonicotinoid insecticides, is characterized with low soil sorption and high water solubility, making it a potential contaminant of surface and underground water. Here we examined the chemical oxidation degradation of thiamethoxam in Fe2+/S2O2-8/ S2O2-3 aqueous solution. The results showed that the degradation efficiency of thiamethoxam was 99.9% after 240 min reaction. The oxidizing ability of Fe2 /S2O2-8/S2O2-3 was significantly affected by the concentrations of Fe2 , S2O2-8 and S2O2-3. Three ion interactions experiment by the central composite design(CCD) showed that the optimum ratios for Fe2 /S2O2-8/S2O2-3 system were 0.69 mmol·L-1 Fe2 , 0.69 mmol·L-1 S2O2-3and 3.29 mmol·L-1 S2O2-8. Higher degradation efficiency was observed at pH=9.0. Thiamethoxam degradation was reduced by higher concentrations of substrate and presence of reactive oxidative species scavengers.
