Kinetics of the photolysis of pyridaben and its main photoproduct in aqueous environments under simulated solar irradiation.

ABSTRACT: The photolytic fate of pyridaben and its main photolysis product was investigated in different aqueous solutions. Results showed that the photolysis of pyridaben followed pseudo first-order kinetics or the hockey-stick model. In buffer solutions, the half-life of pyridaben was the shortest at pH 4, while the degradation rate within 24 h was the highest at pH 9. Humic acids (HA) at concentrations of 1-20 mg L^-1 favored the photolysis of pyridaben while fulvic acids (FA) did not have a significant effect. Nitrate at low concentrations (0.01 mM) accelerated the photolysis and Fe(iii) at high concentrations (0.01 and 0.1 mM) significantly inhibited the photolysis. The photolysis rate of pyridaben in rainwater, tap water, and river water was significantly higher than that in distille
