All experiments were conducted in ultra-pure deionized water (ASTM Type I quality) using direct ultraviolet (UV) photolysis and the UV\/H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub> advanced oxidation process. The direct UV photolysis and UV\/H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub> experiments were conducted in a commercial photochemical reactor with a quartz reaction vessel equipped with a 253.7 nm UV low pressure mercury lamp (Philips TUV 16 W). The experimental results demonstrate that UV photolysis was very effective for alachlor degradation (up to 97% removal using a high UV fluence of 4200 mJ\/cm<sup>2<\/sup>). The UV\/H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub> process promoted alachlor degradation compared to UV photolysis alone, with a high degree of decomposition (97%) achieved at a significantly lower UV fluence of 600 mJ\/cm<sup>2<\/sup> when combined with 1 mg H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub>\/L. The application of UV photolysis alone with a UV fluence of 600 mJ\/cm<sup>2<\/sup> gave a negligible 4% alachlor degradation. The photo degradation of alachlor, in both direct UV photolysis and the UV\/H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub> process, followed pseudo first-order kinetics. The degradation rate constant was about 6 times higher for the UV\/H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub> process than for UV photolysis alone.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords<\/em>: degradation, alachlor, direct UV photolysis, UV\/H2O2 process<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photochemical degradation of alachlor in water Tajana \u0110urki\u0107*, Jelena Molnar Jazi\u0107, Jasmina Agbaba, Marijana Kragulj Isakovski, Aleksandra Tubi\u0107, Sne\u017eana Maleti\u0107, B.
