Degradation of some biorecalcitrant pesticides by homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalytic ozonation.
TL;DR: The best results of pesticide mineralization are obtained when PhFO is applied; with the use of this advanced oxidation process the aqueous pesticide solutions become detoxyfied except in the case of atrazine and alachlor aqueously solutions for which no detoxification is achieved at the experimental conditions used in the work.
