Abstract
The kinetic of photodecomposition of carbendazim (methyl-2-benzimidazole ca rbamate) at different pHs (1, 5, 7, 8 and 11) and at two different concentr ations of dissolved oxygen has been studied. According to the experimental results, the photodegradation process follows a first-order kinetic and the degradation rare of carbendazim increases with pH and dissolved oxygen con centration.
