Dynamics and mechanism of ultraviolet photolysis of atrazine on soil surface
2001
The photolysis of atrazine in the soil surface under UV light and the factors affecting this has been studied. A rate constant of 0.09-0.17 min(-1), photolytic depth of 0.1-0.3 mm and half-life of 4-8 min were determined. The results show that soil granularity, pH, humidity, organic content, humic acid and surface-active agents could affect the photolysis of atrazine in soil. GC-MS showed three photolytic products: 1-sec-butyl-4,1-diethyl-1-tetrazene, N-2,N-4-diethyl-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine and 6-chloro-N-2-propyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine. The mechanism of the photolytic process is discussed. (C) 2001 Society of Chemical Industry.
