Removal of dimethoate insecticy by electrochemical methods from model wastewater

An increase in the danger of agricultural areas requires people to use pesticides. Prevention have been developed to eliminate the harmful effects of pesticides due to their harmful effects on the evironment, other living things and human beings. In this sudy its aimed to treatthe Dimethoate pesticide which is vital for all living things by electrochemical treatment The effects of some parameters such as current density, pH amount of support electrode and hidrogen peroxide on the removal of COD are analyzed. The best conditions by using iron electrodes were I=2,5 A, i=25 mA/cm2, 10 mM Na2SO4 and 1000mg/L+1000mg/L(30minute) H2O2 . Removal was about 64 %. The best conditions by using aluminum electrodes were I=1,5A, i=15 mA/cm2, 10mM Na2SO4.
