ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION OF THE HERBICIDE TEBUTHIURON USING DSA®-TYPE ELECTRODE. Tebuthiuron

. Removal presented pseudo-first order kinetics while high-pressure liquid chromatography (UV detection) showed two peaks, ascribed to degradation intermediates. The maximum percentage of total organic carbon removed was 12.9%. Ion chromatography revealed that higher concentrations of nitrate and nitrite ions formed with increasing current density.Keywords: DSA-Cl
