  Treatment of Two Recalcitrant Neonicotinoid Insecticided (Imidacloprid and Thiamethoxam) from the Surface Water Near Agricultural Lands using Forward Osmosis (FO) and Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO)
  Author(s): Delia Teresa Sponza*
  
  Two neonicotinoid insecticides namely Imidacloprid 1???[(6???chloro???3???pyridmyl)methyl]???N???mtro???2???imidazolidinimine) (IMD) and Thiamethoxam (3-(2-Chloro-5-thiazolylmethyl) tetrahydro-5-methyl-N-nitro-4H-1,3,5-oxadiazin-4-imine) (THM) were identified from a surface water near two agricultural lands in the Agean Region ?n ?zmir Turkey. A forward osmosis (FO) containing a flat sheet aquaporin membrane, was used as a membrane treatment process to treat the neonicotinoid insecticides (imidacloprid and Thiamethoxam) while the effluents of FO was compared by using a PRO process having a hollow fiber aquaporin membrane. THM exhibited higher yields in FO and PRO membranes than that IMD since TMH HAS has high water solubility and low octanol/water partitions compared to IMD. This neonicotinoid insecticide exhibited high rejection and removal efficiency in PRO due to it’s low fou.. View more»
