Abstract:

The effect of potassium ferrate (VI) on degradation of organophosphorus pesticides in spinach was studied. Pesticide residues were detected using GC with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (GC-NPD). Potassium ferrate (VI) could effectively eliminate dichlorvos, dimethoate and chlorpyrifos residues in spinach. The removal rates of dichlorvos, dimethoate and chlorpyrifos from spinach by the treatment with 600 mg/L potassium ferrate (VI) for 30 min were 52.02%, 51.82% and 59.86%, respectively. The optimal conditions for removing dichlorvos, dimethoate and chlorpyrifos using potassium ferrate (VI) were determined using orthogonal array design. The results showed that potassium ferrate (VI) can be used as an organophosphorus pesticide removal agent of high effectiveness for spinach.

Key words: potassium ferrate (VI), organophosphorus pesticides, pesticide residue, removal
