In this work, we report a mathematical model for representing the time evolution of a mixture of herbicides in water using the UV/H2O2 process. The herbicides were glyphosate and 2,4-D, two of the most used herbicides in the world The kinetic model must be independent of the shape, size and configuration of the laboratory reactor in order to be apt for scaling up purposes.
