Performance of alkaline earth oxides have been found to be better than transition metal oxides and best performance has been shown by aerogel method prepared nanocrystalline AP-MgO. The AP-MgO powder has been characterized by XRD, AFM and BET surface area measurements. Destructive adsorption of MP over AP-MgO has been compared with that of activated carbon. Both are found to adsorb methyl parathion effectively. An IR investigation of the surface of treated AP-MgO and activated carbon reveals that activated carbon adsorbs methyl parathion as such in the molecular form and AP-MgO adsorbs it destructively.</p>1 aReddy, V., S.1 aRadheShyam, A.1 aDwivedi, Reena1 aGupta, R., K.1 aChumbhale, Vilas, R.1 aPrasad, R.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/destructive-adsorption-methyl-parathion-over-nanocrystalline-mgo-0
