The kinetic data have been exploited to generate the various activation parameters for the oxidative degradation of acetamiprid by colloidal MnO 2 in the absence and presence of non-ionic surfactant, TX-100. The catalytic effect of TX-100 has been discussed in the light of the available mathematical model. However, the addition of non-ionic surfactant, polyethylene glycol tert-octylphenyl ether (TX-100) accelerates the reaction rate. On the other hand the reaction in the presence of cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) could not be followed as well because it possesses a positive charge opposite to that of colloidal MnO 2 causing flocculation and therefore could not be studied further. The anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been observed to be ineffective. The degradation kinetics has been observed to be first-order with respect to MnO 2 while fractional-order in both acetamiprid and HClO 4. The experiments have been performed under the pseudo-first-order reaction conditions with respect to MnO 2.

The degradative treatment of acetamiprid insecticide from artificially contaminated water by water soluble colloidal MnO 2 in acidic medium (HClO 4) has been studied spectrophotometrically in the absence and presence of surfactants. Thus the degradation of such compounds, after fulfillment of their insecticidal role, is essential to eliminate or minimize the contamination of water. The increasing use of insecticides in the agricultural field is associated with a significant risk to water resources and aquatic systems. These systems may prove useful in optimizing spray formulations and spray parameters, leading to more efficient pesticide development and application.Acetamiprid is one of the most important pesticides and is effective against a number of insects. Another way to explain the effects of surfactants is that they cause water droplets to flatten out and spread uniformly across leaf surfaces, leading to more consistent coverage of the leaves and stems. A finite-dose system is described that may be useful in studying spray droplet/deposit interactions with the cuticle and, concurrently, following transcuticular penetration from droplets/deposits on the surface. Surfactants improve the performance of pesticide applications by breaking the surface tension of the spray droplets. NI Adjuvant improves the wetting, spreading and penetration of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other active ingredient tank mix partners. Transport systems, using isolated cuticles, may be used to quantify the effects of spray additives on pesticide penetration. Further, they are useful in comparing both the penetration characteristics of selected compounds and permeability of cuticles. These transport parameters provide for a better understanding of the mechanisms of cuticular penetration. Permeance and diffusion coefficients can be calculated from cuticular transport studies. Partition coefficients can be calculated for pesticides from sorption data, thereby yielding information on the solubility of the compounds in the cuticle. Most studies with isolated cuticles have focused on sorption, desorption and infinite-dose cuticular transport of compounds in aqueous systems. Isolated cuticles, which represent the prime barrier to penetration, provide a physical system with which transport studies can be conducted under well-defined and highly controlled conditions while avoiding the physiological effects of biologically active compounds on the system. A survey is presented of the use of isolated leaf and fruit cuticles in studying foliar penetration.
