Photocatalytic degradation of atrazine by H3PW12O40/Ag–TiO2: Kinetics, mechanism and degradation pathways.

Highlights: [•] H3PW12O40/Ag–TiO2 catalyst exhibited excellent degradation efficiency towards AT. [•] The influencing factors on degradation kinetics of aqueous AT were studied in detail. [•] The hydroxyl radicals was the major reactive oxygen species during the AT degradation. [•] The possible AT photodegradation pathways using H3PW12O40/Ag–TiO2 were proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
