This study aimed to make the comparison of advanced technologies to oxidation (TAO’s) to Mertect pesticide degradation. For the experimental design of a photoreactor employment work. Pesticide degradation was determined by spectrophotometry UV / visible, the method revealed that the photochemical processes based on heterogeneous photocatalysis with titanium dioxide - TiO2 photocatalysis and homogeneous processes with iron (III) allow significant removal rates of the pesticide greater than 99.0% and 95.0% respectively, leading to the conclusion that advanced oxidation processes are suitable for the removal and degradation of the pesticide Mertect.
