The photocatalytic degradation of pirimicarb in pure water has been studied using zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc titanates (Zn2TiO4 and ZnTiO3) under artificial light (300-460 nm) irradiation. Comparison of catalysts showed that TiO2 is the most efficient for the removal of pirimicarb and their transformation products. To obtain a better understanding of the mechanistic details of these ZnO-TiO2-assisted photodegradation of pirimicarb, the transformation products of the processes were identified by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS2) and liquid chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF/MS) techniques. The probable photodegradation pathways are proposed and discussed. The main steps involved: N-dealkylation of the 2-dimethylamino group to form the carbamate and decarbamoylation of the carbamate moiety with further N-dealkylation of the 2-dimethylamino group to have the hydroxypyrimidines.
