Due to industrialization and urbanization disposal of industrial as well as domestic effluents become more and more complex. Hence various techniques were developed for purification of water. Pollution of water streams causes due to by different inorganic, organic and biological contaminates, among which pesticides are very common and introduced due to agriculture source, represents a serious environmental problem. Several usual methods of water treatment exist such as activated carbon adsorption, chemical oxidation, biological treatment, etc. and as such have found certain practical applications. For example, activated carbon adsorption involves phase transfer of pollutants without decomposition into another pollution problem. Chemical oxidation mineralizes all organic substances and is only economically suitable for the removal of pollutants at high concentrations.
