heal.abstract	The phosphorodithioate pesticides are widely used for crop production and fruit tree treatment, but their disposal causes serious environmental problems. Two commercial phosphorodithioate pesticides (dimethoate and malathion) were treated by an electrolysis system using Ti/Pt as anode and stainless steel 304 as cathode. A number of experiments were run in a laboratory scale pilot plant and the results are presented. For dimethoate the achieved COD reduction was over 70%, while for malathion it was over 40%. Dimethoate had the lowest energy demand. The COD / BOD5 ratio was improved considerably after electrolysis for the two pesticides examined. As a conclusion, electrochemical oxidation could be used as a pre-treatment method of the pesticides detoxification.	en
