Abstract
Degradation of the carbothiolate herbicide, molinate, has been investigated in oxic solutions containing nanoscale zero-valent iron particles and found to be effectively degraded by an oxidative pathway. Both ferrous iron and superoxide (or, at pH <4,8, hydroperoxy) radicals appear to be generated on corrosion of the zero-valent iron with resultant production of strongly oxidizing entities capable of degrading the trace contaminant.
