Abstract

Abstract This study investigated the performance of different ionic solvents (NaCl, KNO3, and Na2SO4) in mediating electrolytic decontamination of pesticide-containing wastewaters and established the most suitable ionic solvent that can satisfactorily achieve decontamination of such wastewaters. These were done to find a water-purification technique suitable for the removal of recalcitrant and hazardous trace organic substances from wastewater. Organochlorine pesticide (OCP)-containing wastewaters were constituted according to prescribed modalities. It was observed that complete decontamination of the wastewater was achieved within 2 h of using Na2SO4. The study concluded that the 1.0 M of Na2SO4 solution-mediated electrolytic process was most efficient in decontaminating OCP-containing wastewater.
