Photolysis of the aquatic herbicide fluridone in aqueous solution

The photolysis of fluridone was studied in water containing oxygen, water purged with nitrogen and buffer solutions at pH 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0. Photochemical half lives varied from 22 hours to 55 hours. Major photoproducts were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid and N-methylformamide. In experiments using natur...

Summary:The photolysis of fluridone was studied in water containing oxygen, water purged with nitrogen and buffer solutions at pH 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0. Photochemical half lives varied from 22 hours to 55 hours. Major photoproducts were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid and N-methylformamide. In experiments using natural sunlight, distilled and lake water, no difference was found in photolysis rates.
