In this work, the kinetic electrochemical degradation of Cartap (CT) (in Padan 95 SP) at boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was investigated. This study indicated that the degradation of CT underwent both direct and indirect oxidations. Water matrices can either accelerate or inhibit the removal efficiency of CT: adding 15 mM Cl- improved kCT from min–1 to min–1 (increased by 38%), while kCT decreased by and 64% when increasing the concentration of HCO3 - and humic acid (HA) to 15 mM and 15 mg L–1, respectively. |
