The sonochemical photodegradation of fenitrothion, which is one of phosphorothiate insecticides, was carried out in the presence of Fe (III) and oxalate. The degradation rate was strongly influenced by initial concentrations of Fe (III) and oxalate. An initial fenitrothion concentration of 10mgL− 1 was completely degraded after 30min at pH 6 under the optimum conditions. Therefore, the photo-Fenton reaction combined with sonication in the ...
