“…Therefore detection of amitrole at this concentration level is incredibly important to regulate amitrole toxicity in water resources. 10,11 Various analytical methods such as liquid chromatography, 10,12 high performance liquid chromatography, 5,13 gas chromatography, 14,15 thin-layer chromatography 16 and capillary electrophoresis 17 have been developed for the determination of amitrole. However, these methods encountered difficulties due to the unfavorable properties of amitrole, such as high solubility in water, high polarity, low volatility, difficulty in extraction and preconcentration from aqueous samples, and poor solubility in organic solvents.…”
