Atrazine and metolachlor residues in brookston Cl following conventional and conservation tillage culture

Atrazine and metolachlor are extensively used in Ontario, Canada for control of broadleaf weeds and annual grasses in corn. Conservation tillage may alter the physical and biological environment of soil affecting herbicide dissipation. The rate of dissipation of these two herbicides in soil from conventional, ridge and no-tillage culture was followed. Herbicide dissipation was best described by first order reaction kinetics. Half life, the time for herbicide residues to dissipate to half their initial concentration, was unaffected by tillage. Half life for atrazine and metolachlor was similar and ranged from 31 to 66 d. The rate of dissipation decreased in dry years when soil moisture content was low. In a dry year, herbicide residues during the growing season were significantly greater on ridge tops than in the other tillage treatments. However, after harvest no differences in herbicide residues were detected among tillage treatments. Residues of atrazine (6 to 9% of applied) and metolachlor (4 to 6%) were detected in soil before planting a year after application. De-ethyl atrazine, the primary degradation product of atrazine, increased in concentration during the growing season with the greatest concentrations measured at harvest and in years when atrazine dissipated fastest. De-ethyl atrazine one year after application accounted for about 12% of the remaining triazine residue. These herbicide residues would not be phytotoxic to subsequent crops but are a potential source for leaching to ground and surface waters.

饮用水中内分泌干扰物阿特拉津UV光氧化研究

采用单独紫外光氧化工艺去除饮用水中低浓度阿特拉津,研究了不同影响因素对阿特拉津降解效果的影响,并分析了阿特拉津的降解机理.结果表明:单独紫外光氧化对阿特拉津有很好的去除效果,在光强为205μW/cm²条件下,光解120min后,阿特拉津去除率为92.38%.阿特拉津的光解过程符合一级反应动力学模型.通过提高紫外照射光强,可以在短时间内提高阿特拉津的去除率.阿特拉津的初始浓度对光解反应基本没有影响.自来水中的有机物及多种离子的存在会降低阿特拉津的光解速率.紫外光氧化阿特拉津主要降解途径是脱氯反应,反应速率很快.羟基化产物(OHA)是主要的中间产物.OHA在紫外光作用下可以继续发生脱烷基反应,生成OHDIA和OHDEA,反应速率非常缓慢.反应液中pH值的变化与中间产物的形成过程有很好的相关性.     

阿特拉津在天然水体沉积物中的吸附行为

本文研究了阿特拉津在几种水体沉积物中的吸附、解吸规律,并进一步探讨了沉积物浓度、pH值和离子强度对其吸附行为的影响．结果表明,不同沉积物对阿特拉津的吸附程度由沉积物本身的总有机碳、粘土矿物、阳离子交换容量、比表面积以及铁锰氧化物等理化特性综合作用的结果,有机碳不是影响阿特拉津吸附的唯一重要因素．连续吸附实验结果指出,化合物的起始浓度愈大,吸附时间愈长,阿特拉津的最大吸附容量也愈大,且在解吸过程中表现出一定的滞后性(即不可逆吸附)．沉积物浓度与其吸附量呈负相关;溶液的pH值增大,沉积物对阿特拉津吸附能力减弱;离子强度愈大,沉积物对阿特拉津吸附能力愈强．     

泡沫镍/铁粉脱氯降解莠去津

在 Ni/Fe 二元金属粉末脱氯降解莠去津的基础上,为了减少镍的流失对环境产生的二次污染,采用泡沫镍/铁粉体系作为还原剂,研究其对莠去津的脱氯效率,并和铁粉、Ni/Fe 二元金属体系的催化特性进行了比较.结果表明,在相同的反应条件下(pH 2.0,莠去津初始浓度20.0mg/L),泡沫镍为 1.0g,铁粉添加量分别为 2.0,3.0,5.0g 时,反应 90min,脱氯效率分别增加 14.11%、15.97%、29.50%;泡沫镍+铁粉分别为0+5.0g、0.5g+5.0g、1.0g+5.0g、1.95g+5.0g 时,莠去津 90min 的脱氯效率分别为 52.76%、80.13%、82.26%、65.25%.但是与 Ni/Fe 二元金属相比,催化性能要低得多,这可能与泡沫镍/铁粉体系的比表面积下降有关.     

除草剂西玛津对非洲爪蟾生存和性腺发育的影响

为了研究三嗪类除草剂西玛津对两栖动物非洲爪蟾(Xenopus laevis)生存和性腺发育的毒性作用,并且与另一种三嗪类除草剂阿特拉津的毒性进行比较,将非洲爪蟾从46/47阶段开始暴露西玛津和阿特拉津到变态1个月后停止,再饲养2个月后将其解剖,取性腺做形态学和组织学观察.暴露期间,每天记录蝌蚪的生长发育情况和存活率.结果显示,在暴露的第1周内(蝌蚪处于46~50阶段),西玛津可导致蝌蚪死亡率明显升高,随后的时间内西玛津对非洲爪蟾的生存不再有明显影响,但却使发育阶段明显的不整齐.阿特拉津对非洲爪蟾的生存和发育则没有明显影响.西玛津和阿特拉津对非洲爪蟾性腺的总体形态和性别比没有明显影响,然而两种除草剂均在一定程度上导致了睾丸组织学的改变.西玛津可能与阿特拉津一样能够通过雌性化/去雄性化作用影响非洲爪蟾睾丸的发育.     

水土环境介质中阿特拉津修复过程研究进展

除草剂阿特拉津农用后的残留物会随地表径流或地下渗漏作用进入江河湖泊等自然水体,由于阿特拉津的环境内分泌干扰作用,其会造成水资源污染和水生态失衡。根据阿特拉津的生产和使用状况,将阿特拉津的污染对象分为土壤、市政污水、河流湖泊等地表水和地下水系统模块,分别阐述了这几种环境介质中阿特拉津的物理、化学和生物修复技术以及阿特拉津在修复过程中的变化特点,介绍了土壤在淋溶过程中阿特拉津的固定手段和今后污染水体中阿特拉津修复的研究重点。     

基因工程菌生物强化膜-生物反应器工艺启动期影响因素研究

基因工程菌生物强化膜-生物反应器工艺经过启动期之后,可以实现对阿特拉津的高效稳定去除,去除率在90%以上.不同条件下,启动期最短2 d,最长可达12 d.阿特拉津初始进水负荷、运行温度和工程菌接种密度,对启动期具有显著影响.增加阿特拉津初始进水负荷、提高运行温度和增加基因工程菌接种密度,可以实现快速启动.进水水质对启动期影响不大,在人工配水和实际污水2种进水条件下,启动期基本相同,而且稳定期2种进水的阿特拉津去除情况也没有差异,说明进水水质对启动期和稳定期阿特拉津的去除影响都不大.     

Impact of vegetated filter strips on sorbed herbicide concentrations and sorption equilibrium in agricultural plots

The objective was to investigate the impact of vegetated filter strips on exported atrazine and deethylatrazine concentrations [dissolved and sorbed to eroded sediments (>1.5 μm)], the deethylatrazine to atrazine ratio in water and sediments, the ratio of sorbed to dissolved herbicides in runoff and subsurface infiltration as well as field equilibrium state under natural climate during two seasons. We hypothesize that sorption equilibrium was not achieved in 2004 because of the short delay (<24 h) between herbicide application and the first rain event. In 2005, observations suggest that possible changing sorption equilibrium conditions were reached (20 days after atrazine application), especially for eroded sediments submitted to changing environmental conditions in subsurface. If confirmed by other experiments, this will raise the question of the representativeness of laboratory-determined soil sorption coefficients to predict the fate of pesticides.     

Photochemical degradation of atrazine in UV and UV/H2O2 process: pathways and toxic effects of products

The degradation of atrazine in aqueous solution by UV or UV/H₂O₂ processes, and the toxic effects of the degradation products were explored. The mineralization of atrazine was not observed in the UV irradiation process, resulting in the production of hydroxyatrazine (OIET) as the final product. In the UV/H₂O₂ process, the final product was ammeline (OAAT), which was obtained by two different pathways of reaction: dechlorination followed by hydroxylation, and the de-alkylation of atrazine. The by-products of the reaction of dechlorination followed by hydroxylation were OIET and hydroxydeethyl atrazine (OIAT), and those of de-alkylation were deisopropyl atrazine (CEAT), deethyl atrazine (CIAT), and deethyldeisopropyl atrazine (CAAT). OIAT and OAAT appeared to be quite stable in the degradation of atrazine by the UV/H₂O₂ process. In a toxicity test using Daphnia magna, the acute toxic unit (TUa) was less than 1 of TUa (100/EC₅₀, %) in the UV/H₂O₂ process after 30 min of reaction time, while 1.2 to 1.3 of TUa was observed in the UV process. The TUa values of atrazine and the degradation products have the following decreasing order: OIET> Atrazine> CEAT≈CIAT> CAAT. OIAT and OAAT did not show any toxic effects.
