Abamectin is widely used as a pest control in livestock. Photolysis (UV), peroxidation (H2O2), peroxidation assisted by ultraviolet light (UV/H2O2), Fenton's reagent and photo- Fenton were selected for the degradation of this veterinary drug. The initial concentration of abamectin was 500 ?g L-1 and each test was carried out during 600 seconds....Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic digital thesis or dissertations (AU)
