Real-Time Monitoring of the Atrazine Degradation by Liquid Chromatography and High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry: Effect of Fenton Process and Ultrasound Treatment
Abstract:High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (uHPLC) to monitor atrazine (ATZ) degradation process of Fenton/ultrasound (US) treatment in real time. Samples were automatically taken through a peristaltic pump, and then analysed by HPLC-HRMS. The injection in the mass spectrometer was performed every 4 min for 2 h. ATZ and its degradation metabolites were sampled and identified. Online Fenton experiments in different equivalents of Fenton reagents, onlin… Show more
“…Here, the energy was directly injected into the atrazine aqueous solution through a plasma channel formed by HVED between two submersed electrodes. It was aimed at investigating the ability of the HVED system to degrade atrazine in aqueous solution; comparing the results with a chemical degradation technique (Fenton oxidation) and physical degradation technique (ultrasound); studying the effect of Fe 2+ on atrazine degradation; identifying atrazine degradation metabolites by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) analysis; 33 and proposing detailed mechanisms of atrazine degradation pathways based on the formation kinetics of atrazine degradation metabolites.…”
Compared to ultrasounds and Fenton oxidation, the degradation of atrazine by high-voltage electrical discharge has more advantages as: low toxicity of generated products, destruction of triazine ring, high degradation rate, energy and time saving.
