An analytically solved kinetic model for pesticide degradation in single compartment systems

An analytical kinetic model was developed to simulate the degradation of pesticides in systems such as soil or water. Based on a single compartment system, a set of simultaneous first-order differential equations was analytically solved by the eigenvalue and eigenvector method. The developed model is capable of simulating the concentrations of parent compound and any net of degradation products connected by irreversible reactions. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
