Trang 5INTRODUCTION The urgency of the thesis
Currently, environmental pollution is a great challenge to the globe including Vietnam Industrialization and modernization of the economy are raised many persistent pollutants such as pigments, phenol, antibiotics, …becoming more and more
Viet Nam is a long-standing agricultural country To meet the food needs of the increasing number of people, the cultivated area is increasingly shrinking, measures such as agricultural intensification, seed improvement, the use of crop pesticides are implemented to increase productivity Organophosphorus with the advantage of a wide range of prevention and rapid elimination of pests and diseases are now widely applied However, the widespread use of organophosphorus during cultivation has left this chemical residue in the environment very large, especially in the aqueous environment Thus, not only in industrial wastewater but also in agricultural wastewater, durable and persistent organic substances should be treated Currently, many studies focus on completely mineralizing these persistent pollutants into non-toxic substances The advanced oxidation method based on hydroxyl radical activity ●OH (with the highest oxidation potential of 2.8 eV) is of interest to study on The formation of ●OH radicals during reaction occurs through a variety of processes, including photocatalytic processes based on mixed oxide Fe2O3 – MnOx nanoparticles The efficiency of the photocatalytic process increases with the dispersion of these nanoparticles on the carrier (rGO) The object selected for treatment is persistent organic pigments, including MO, MB, and pesticides which are represented
Trang 6by fenitrothion and parathion The photocatalytic process is applied
to treat these pollutants From the above reasons, the topic “ Study on synthesis of manganese oxide, iron oxide on reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles to treatment of pigments and pesticides in the aqueous environment” is selected to research and deal with these pollutants in Vietnam
The objectives of the thesis
Successfully synthesized nano – mixed oxide by different gelling agents; compared, selected the appropriate gelling agent; researched
to evaluate the catalytic activity of mixed oxide nanoparticles formed with pollutants methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB)
Successful dispersed mixed oxide nanoparticles on rGO; investigated catalytic activity of material systems on parathion, fenitrothion

Trang 7Chapter 1 OVERVIEW 1.1 General introduction about pesticides
1.1.1 Definitions of pesticides
Pesticides which are substances or mixtures work to:
prevent, stop, repel, induce, destroy or control crop pests;
regulate crop or insect growth;
preserve crops; increase safety and effectiveness when using the pesticides
1.1.2 Classification of pesticides: four main groups
1.1.3 Current situation of pesticide use in Vietnam
How to use pesticides in our country today
Using pesticides which has been banned
Increasing using dosage
Spraying pesticides at anytime
Using the wrong manual
Organophosphorus are more durable than those in the pyrethroids
group Carbamates have a fairly common use rate in many
agricultural areas Organochlorines are mostly banned from use
1.1.4 Negative effects of organophosphorus pesticides
1.1.4.1 Soil pollution
1.1.4.2 Air pollution
1.1.4.3 Water polution
Trang 8 In the Northern of Viet Nam [16], fenitrothion (0,06 và 0,04 mg/L), dichlorvos (0,02 and 0,03 mg/L) were detected
In groundwater: dichlorvos was found in 45% of all samples taken, fenitrothion was found in all samples [16]
In the Mekong Delta, in 2008, Carvalho and etc [17] showed that concentration of diazinon was 3,5 – 42,8 ng/L, that of fenitrothion was 3,3 – 11,9 ng/L found in 5/8 samples
Organophosphorus pesticides residues were detected in soil, air, surface water, and groundwater The commonly used peticides are fenitrothion, diazinon, quinalphos, dichlorvos Comparing with Limited standard EC, residues concentration of pesticides exceeds the allowed level (0.5 µg/L)
1.1.4.4 Impact on human, plants and animals
In addition to the environment pollution by pesticide residues, the pollution by pigments should also be treated These substances are very toxic and dangerous to human health and the ecosystem [19, 20] In the thesis, MO, MB which are the pigments and pesticides which are parathion, fenitrothion are selected to research and treatment with these pollutants in Vietnam
1.2 General introduction about some research pollutants
1.2.1 Physical and chemical properties of some organic pigments
Trang 91.3 Methods for treating pigments and organophosphorus in agricultural wastewater
1.3.1 The adsorption method
The main disadvantage of this method is that the adsorbent must be reconstituted, and the hazardous solid waste which is a saturated adsorbent containing the high concentrations of pollutants after treatment must be generated
1.3.2 The biological treatment methods
The drawbacks of the method are research local available microorganism, long decomposition time, low decomposition efficiency
1.3.3 Decomposes by oxidizing agents
Using strong oxidizing agents to oxidize persistent organic
compounds in wastewater are applied
1.3.4 The advanced oxidation process
The advanced oxidation process decomposes organic pigments and pesticides by producing hydroxyl radicals with the highest oxidative potential (2.8 eV) during the reaction
1.4 The photocatalysis decomposes organic pigments and organophosphorus

photocatalytic mechanism
1.4.2 Introduction to Fe2O3 – Mn2O3 materials
Mixed oxide Fe2O3 – Mn2O3 nanoparticles are mainly used for decomposing colored pollutants and high treatment efficiency The
pesticides that belong to the organophosphorus group, namely
parathion and fenitrothion have not been studied for decomposition
by photochemical processes using this catalyst
rGO that has a multilayered structure has many functional groups in its molecule, so it is easy to form bonds with transition metal ions With the above advantages, rGO is suitable for dispersing metal oxide Fe2O3 – Mn2O3 nanoparticles
1.4.3 The situation of researching on the treatment of pigments
and organophosphorus in Vietnam
Studies to treat organic pigments such as MO and MB have been widely conducted in Vietnam Many methods are applied such as adsorption, coagulation and flocculation,biodegradation,…especially advanced oxidation processes, including photocatalytic processes
Trang 11In Vietnam, research on treating residues of organophosphorus is limited, the main subjects of study are organochlorines such as DDT, Dioxin Studies of decomposition by biological, physical, and chemical methods have also been conducted However, in Vietnam, there have been no specific studies on the decomposition of pesticides, including organophosphorus, particularly parathion and fenitrothion using a photochemical process with a catalyst of mixed oxide Fe2O3 – Mn2O3 nanoparticles
