The degradation of the picloram, a widely used herbicide, has been undertaken by the electrochemical advanced oxidation process, namely electro-Fenton in aqueous solution. This process generates catalytically hydroxyl radicals that are strong oxidizing reagents for the oxidation of organic substances.
