Carbofuran is one of the most toxic carbamate pesticides used to control the insects in a wide variety of field crops including potatoes, corn and soybeans. Ultrasonic process is well known at low pH for the oxidation of contaminated organic compounds. Therefore, the feasibility of carbofuran oxidation by ultrasonic process was investigated in this study in batch experiments. Initial carbofuran concentration was at 20 mg L -1 and the additions of hydrogen peroxide were between 0300 mg L -1 . The initial pH value was adjusted by H2SO4 at 3 and the reaction temperature was maintained at 25 °C by a temperature controller. More than 40% of carbofuran was oxidized by ultrasonic process in 120 min. However, the mineralization of carbofuran observed by the decrease in total organic carbon was less than 15%. This reveals that part of carbofuran was oxidized to intermediates. This study also tried to combine the ultrasonic process with Fenton reagents and the degradation efficiency of carbofuran was increased to more than 99% with 40% mineralization within 30 min. Based on this experimental investigation, it is found that the carbofuran can be significantly decomposed by an ultrasound/Fenton process.
