Abstract
The photocatalytic degradation of metoxuron [3-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea] in aqueous suspensions of<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="${\text{TiO}}_{\text{2}} $"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mtext>TiO</mml:mtext></mml:mrow><mml:mtext>2</mml:mtext></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math>was investigated. Several intermediate photoproducts were identified using NMR and MS techniques. Oxidation or removal of the methyl of terminal nitrogen and ring hydroxylation were found to occur. 2-Propanol was shown to decrease the rate of photocatalytic degradation, inhibiting partly ring hydroxylation and completely reactions on terminal nitrogen. In contrast, basification of the suspensions accelerated the degradation significantly.
