Methomyl Detection by Inhibition of Laccase Using a Carbon Ceramic Biosensor

A sol–gel derived carbon ceramic biosensor was used for methomyl determination in vegetable extract samples based on the immobilization of laccase from Aspergillus oryzae. Esculetin was chosen as the substrate for laccase in order to measure inhibition by this pesticide. The analytical curve was linear for methomyl concentrations of 0.5 to 12.2 µM with a detection limit of 0.2 µM. The lifetime of the proposed biosensor was 60 days and the recovery from vegetable extract samples ranged from 98.0 to 104.2 %. The results using the proposed method are in agreement with those using HPLC at the 95 % confidence level.

Determination of methomyl and methomyl-oxime in fruit crops and water by HPLC

Summary A simple and specific quantitative HPLC method for the analysis of methomyl residues in fruit crops and water is described. The method is based on simple extraction steps, high-performance liquid chromatographic separation using a reversed phase column (RP-C₁₈) and UV detection. With this analytical system, methomyl residues at 1 ng/g level can be detected. This approach allows also the simultaneous determination of methomyl and its degradation product methomyl-oxime. This is possible either by using the UV detector at 233 nm or by using both the UV- and the electrochemical detectors in series. Using this combined detection system, it was possible to determine methomyl at the 1 ng/ml level and methomyl-oxime at the 100 pg/ml level in water. Recovery rate in the range of 0.01–1 g/g is 101.4±6% in fruit crops (apples) and 93.7±4% in water.

Bestimmung von Methomyl und Methomyl-oxim in Obst und Wasser mit Hilfe der HPLC

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine hochleistungs-flüssigkeits-chromatographische Methode zur quantitativen Bestimmung der Methomylrückstände in Obst und Wasser beschrieben, mit der noch Rückstandsmengen von 1 ng/g (ppb) erfaßbar sind. Das Verfahren besteht aus einem Extraktionsschritt, Aufreinigungsschritt, der Trennung der Rückstände auf einer Umkehrphase (RP-C₁₈) und der UV-Detektion. Die Methode ermöglicht die gleichzeitige Bestimmung von Methomyl und seinem Hydrolyseprodukt (Methomyl-oxim) durch die Anwendung des UV-Detektors allein oder durch zusätzliche elektrochemische Detektion. Durch diese Schaltanordnung wurden Konzentrationen von 1 ng/ml Methomyl und 100 pg/ml (ppt) Methomyl-oxim in Wasser bestimmt. Die Methode gestattet im Bereich von 0,01–1 g/g eine Wiederfindungsrate von 101,4±6% in Obst (Äpfel) und 93,7±4% in Wasser.

     

Intensification of degradation of methomyl (carbamate group pesticide) by using the combination of ultrasonic cavitation and process intensifying additives

In the present work, the degradation of methomyl has been carried out by using the ultrasound cavitation (US) and its combination with H₂O₂, Fenton and photo-Fenton process. The study of effect of operating pH and ultrasound power density has indicated that maximum extent of degradation of 28.57% could be obtained at the optimal pH of 2.5 and power density of 0.155 W/mL. Application of US in combination with H₂O₂, Fenton and photo-Fenton process has further accelerated the rate of degradation of methomyl with complete degradation of methomyl in 27 min, 18 min and 9 min respectively. Mineralization study has proved that a combination of US and photo-Fenton process is the most effective process with maximum extent of mineralization of 78.8%. Comparison of energy efficiency and cost effectiveness of various processes has indicated that the electrical cost of 79892.34 Rs./m³ for ultrasonic degradation of methomyl has drastically reduced to 2277.00 Rs./m³, 1518.00 Rs./m³ and 807.58 Rs./m³ by using US in combination with H₂O₂, Fenton and photo-Fenton process respectively. The cost analysis has also indicated that the combination of US and photo-Fenton process is the most energy efficient and cost effective process.     

Application of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of methomyl in natural waters

A new method was developed for determination of methomyl in water samples by combining a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) technique with HPLC-variable wavelength detection (VWD). In this extraction method, 0.50 mL of methanol (as dispersive solvent) containing 20.0 microL of tetrachloroethane (as extraction solvent) was rapidly injected by syringe into a 5.00-mL water sample containing the analyte, thereby forming a cloudy solution. After phase separation by centrifugation for 2 min at 4000 rpm, the enriched analyte in the settled phase (8 +/- 0.2 microL) was at the bottom of the conical test tube. A 5.0-microL volume of the settled phase was analyzed by HPLC-VWD. Parameters such as the nature and volume of the extraction solvent and the dispersive solvent, extraction time, and the salt concentration were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factor could reach 70.7 for a 5.00-mL water sample and the linear range, detection limit (S/N = 3), and precision (RSD, n = 6) were 3-5000 ng/mL, 1.0 ng/mL, and 2.6%, respectively. River and lake water samples were successfully analyzed by the proposed method. Comparison of this method with solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, and single-drop microextraction, indicates that DLLME combined with HPLC-VWD is a simple, fast, and low-cost method for the determination of methomyl, and thus has tremendous potential in trace analysis of methomyl in natural waters.     

Effect of process intensifying parameters on the hydrodynamic cavitation based degradation of commercial pesticide (methomyl) in the aqueous solution

Methomyl, a carbamate pesticide, is classified as a pesticide of category-1 toxicity and hence shows harmful effects on both human and aquatic life. In the present work, the degradation of methomyl has been studied by using hydrodynamic cavitation reactor (HC) and its combination with intensifying agents such as H₂O₂, fenton reagent and ozone (hybrid processes). Initially, the optimization of operating parameters such pH and inlet pressure to the cavitating device (circular venturi) has been carried out for maximizing the efficacy of hydrodynamic cavitation. Further degradation study of methomyl by the application of hybrid processes was carried out at an optimal pH of 2.5 and the optimal inlet pressure of 5 bar. Significant synergetic effect has been observed in case of all the hybrid processes studied. Synergetic coefficient of 5.8, 13.41 and 47.6 has been obtained by combining hydrodynamic cavitation with H₂O₂, fenton process and ozone respectively. Efficacy of individual and hybrid processes has also been obtained in terms of energy efficiency and extent of mineralization. HC + Ozone process has proved to be the most effective process having highest synergetic coefficient, energy efficiency and the extent of mineralization. The study has also encompassed the identification of intermediate by-products generated during the degradation and has proposed the probable degradation pathway. It has been conclusively established that hydrodynamic cavitation in the presence of intensifying agents can effectively be used for complete degradation of methomyl.
