Photodegradation of acetochlor in water and UV photoproducts identified by mass spectrometry

The sunlight photodegradation half-lives of 20 mg/L acetochlor were 151, 154 and 169 days in de-ionized water, river water and paddy water, respectively. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, acetochlor in aqueous solution was rapidly degraded. The half-lives were7.1, 10.1, and 11.5 min in de-ionized water, river water and paddy water, respectively. Photopreduets of acetochlor were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS) and found at least twelve photoproducts resulted from dechlorination with subsequent hydrtrxylation and cyclization processes. The chemical structures of ten photoproducts were presumed on the basis of mass spectrum interpretation and literature data. Photoproducts are identified as 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline; N, N-diethylaniline ; 4, 8-dimethyl-2-oxo- 1,2,3,4- tetrahydroquino-line; 2-oxo-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(ethoxymethyl) acetamide; N-(ethoxymethyl)-2‘-ethyl-6‘-methylformanilide; 1-hydroxyaeetyl-2-ethoxyl-7-ethylind ole; 8-ethyl-l-ethoxymethyl-2-oxo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinoline; 4, 8-dimethyl-l-ethoxymethyl-2-oxo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinoline; 2-hydroxy-2‘-ethyl-6‘-methyl-N-(ethoxymethyl) acetanilide and a compound related to acetochlor. The other two photoproducts were detected by GC/MS although their chemical structure was unknown.     

不同地域的阳光光谱分布特性

目的研究阳光的光谱能量分布特性。方法对高原、西北沙漠、热带海洋等3个地域200~800 nm波段的阳光进行光谱测量,分析不同地区、不同天气状况、不同扫描速度下的阳光光谱能量分布特性。结果高原地区阳光光谱中的紫外-可见波段的辐照强度明显比西北沙漠和热带海洋地区高,多云时200~800 nm波段的辐射总量与晴天相比降低1/4,200~400 nm的紫外波段的辐射总量仅为晴天时的54%。光谱测量仪的扫描速度对光谱测定结果基本无影响。结论研究获得的阳光紫外截止点、340 nm处的辐照强度、不同波段的辐照量,可为实验室光源暴露试验中的光源选择、光谱能量控制提供参考。
