살균제 tolclofos-methyl은 인삼 및 인삼 경작지 토양에서 빈번히 검출되고 있어 그 안전성이 문제시되고 있다. 이에 tolclofos-methyl을 토양 slurry조건에서 여러 종류의 화학적 처리를 통하여 분해되는 정도를 조사하였다. ZVI를 처리한 경우 uZVI가 aZVI보다 tolclofos-methyl의 분해를 촉진 하였으며 uZVI와 ZVZn의 경우에는 ZVZn가 더 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다. uZVI와 ZVZn 처리구에서는 처리량이 증가할수록 그리고 입경이 작을수록 더 잘 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. pH 4.0 이하의 산성 조건하에서 처리된 ZVI는 tolclofos-methyl의 분해를 더욱 촉진시켜 수용액에서 24시간 만에 94.4%까지 분해시켰다. Fenton 반응을 이용한 tolclofos-methyl의 분해는 iron source로 $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$가 가장 효과적이었으며, $H_2O_2$ 500 mM 처리구에서 93.5%까지 분해되었다. Sodium bisulfite를 이용한 토양 slurry 중의 tolclofos-methyl의 분해는 처리량이 증가할수록 분해가 촉진되었으며 50 mM 처리구에서 52.9%가 분해되었다.
Tolclofos-methyl is one of the most widely used organophosphorous pesticides in control of soil-borne diseases in ginseng field. In Korea, residues of tolclofosmethyl in ginseng and cultivation soil is quite often detecting. The objective of this study was to know the possibility for the accelerated degradation of tolclofos-methyl by various chemical treatment under soil slurry condition. The degradation of tolclofos-methyl was accelerated by zerovalent metals treatment in soil slurry. The degradation rate of tolclofos-methyl was found to be at higher zerovalent zinc than unannealed zerovalent and annealed zerovalent iron. The effect of different sizes of zerovalent iron on tolclofos-methyl degradation was showed that the smaller size of zerovalent iron, the greater the degradation rate. In aqueous solution of pH 4.0 below the degradation rate of tolclofos-methyl was very high. Under this experimental condition, tolclofos-methyl degradation was the greatest at 2% (w/v) of ZVI under 0.1 N of HCl in 24 hours, the degradation rate was 94.4%. By testing various chemicals, it was found that $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ as iron source showed better for degrading tolclofos-methyl in $H_2O_2$ 500 mM treatment and sodium sulfite also showed the degradable possibility tolclofos-methyl in soil slurry.
