Soil adsorption behaviour and photomineralization by photocatalytic membranes immobilizing titanium dioxide of atrazine and intermediates
Abstract:The soil adsorption behaviour of atrazine and its photodegradation intermediate 4,6-diamino-2-chloro-1,3,5-s-triazine (I), was evaluated by measuring partition coefficients on five representative European topsoils using classical batch experiments. From this study, (I) appears to be less immobilised than atrazine itself, especially for typical agricultural soils. Consequently, (I) has a higher tendency to reach the saturated zones, and hence, the groundwater. In order to remove atrazine and its degradation pro… Show more
