We investigated the forces involved in the adsorption and desorption of 4-amino-3,5-6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram), 1,1-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion (paraquat), and α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine (trifluralin) using cationic, anionic, and nonionic exchange resins. The anionic resin (Cl-form) adsorbed 375, 0.08, and 0.67 mg of picloram, paraquat, and trifluralin, respectively, per gram of oven-dry resin. The nonionic resin adsorbed 4.0, 0.34, and 10.0 mg of picloram, paraquat, and trifluralin, respectively, per gram of oven-dry resin, while the cationic resin (H-form) adsorbed 2.3, 226, and 0.17 mg of picloram, paraquat, and trifluralin, respectively. Other cationic resins (Na-form and Ca-form) performed similarly to the hydrogen form. Desorption studies indicated that picloram was adsorbed mainly in the anionic form by coulombic forces (electrostatic) and to a lesser degree by weak physical bonding (van der Waal's forces). Paraquat was adsorbed as a cation through coulombic forces. Trifluralin was mainly absorbed by physical bonds at sites on the resins where there were no coulombic forces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
