Özet

In the study, the Clothianidin extracted from surface water of Agean region in İzmir were photodegraded

using TiO2/CNT/Pd-Cu nanocomposite. The maximum Clothianidin photodegradation rate was observed as 98% at

20 mg/L Clothianidin concentration using 0.12 mg/L TiO2/CNT/Pd-Cu Nanocomposite. At 40 mg/L Clothianidin

concentration the photodegradation yield decreased to 56%. The maximum Clothianidin photodegradation

efficiency was found to be 98% at an alkaline ph of 10.00 at a Clothianidin concentration of 20 mg/L using 0,15

mg/L TiO2/CNT/Pd-Cu nanocomposite concentration after 65 min under solar light irradiation. By the metal

composition of TiO2/CNT/Pd-Cu 68.6 wt% TiO2 + 29.4 wt% CNT + 1 wt% Pd + 1 wt%; 99.90% Clothianidin

photodegradation yield was detected.
