Spectrophotometric method for determination of atrazine and its application to commercial formulations and real samples

A simple sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of atrazine in herbicide formulations and real samples. The method was based on the reaction of atrazine with pyridine to form a quaternary halide which in the presence of alkali forms a carbinol base. The heterocyclic ring of the carbinol base breaks and forms the glutaconic dialdehyde. The glutaconic dialdehyde group was coupled with sulfanilic acid to form a yellow coloured product having λ _max 450 nm or coupled with aniline to form a orange red coloured product having λ _max 480 nm. The Beer's law was obeyed over the range from 0.1 to 25 µg mL^?1 and molar absorptivity 1.5 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1 for sulfanilic acid, and from 0.08 to 12 µg mL^?1 and molar absorptivity 1.3 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1 for aniline were observed. The reaction conditions and other analytical parameters were optimised. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the analysis of commercial formulations and real samples.     

Thermal Decomposition of Triazine Herbicides II. 6-Chloro-N2-ethyl-N4-isopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (atrazine) and its metabolites

Thermal degradation of atrazine and its metabolites has been investigated using a thermogravimetric technique(TG) with the application of three types of crucibles: opened, Knudsen type and labyrinthtype, and non-isothermal DSC method, using hermetically closed and opened alumina sample pans. The great influence of decomposition conditions (the crucible type) on thermal degradation was observed. TG analysis showed that the degradation process of atrazine took place in three stages. The increase of amino groups in triazine ring increases the amount of non-volatile thermal degradation products by association. The presence of chlorine substituent facilitates the forming of products with low volatility. Hydroxyatrazine decomposes only in one stage process. The dealkylation process observed in hermetical sample pans (DSC) was two-stage and in open sample pans one-stage process. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Theoretical study of the atrazine pesticide interaction with pyrophyllite and Ca2+‐montmorillonite clay surfaces

Atrazine, a pesticide belonging to the s‐triazine family, is one of the most employed pesticides. Due to its negative impact on the environment, it has been forbidden within the European Union since 2004 but remains abundant in soils. For these reasons, its behavior in soils and water at the atomic scale is of great interest. In this article, we have investigated, using DFT, the adsorption of atrazine onto two different clay surfaces: a pyrophyllite clay and an Mg‐substituted clay named montmorillonite, with Ca²⁺ compensating cations on its surface. The calculations show that the atrazine molecule is physisorbed on the pyrophyllite surface, evidencing the necessity to use dispersion‐corrected computational methods. The adsorption energies of atrazine on montmorillonite are two to three times larger than on pyrophyllite, depending on the adsorption pattern. The computed adsorption energy is of about −30 kcal mol⁻¹ for the two most stable montmorillonite‐atrazine studied isomers. For these complexes, the large adsorption energy is related to the strong interaction between the chlorine atom of the atrazine molecule and one of the Ca²⁺ compensating cations of the clay surface. The structural modifications induced by the adsorption are localized: for the surface, close to substitutions and particularly below the Ca²⁺ cations; in the molecule, around the chlorine atom when Ca²⁺ interacts strongly with this basic site in a monodentate mode. This study shows the important role of the alkaline earth cations on the adsorption of atrazine on clays, suggesting that the atrazine pesticide retention will be significant in Ca²⁺‐montmorillonite clays. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Synthesis of a molecularly imprinted polymer on mSiO2@Fe3O4 for the selective adsorption of atrazine

Atrazine contamination of water is of considerable concern because of the potential hazard to human health. In this study, a magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer for atrazine was prepared by the surface‐imprinting technique using Fe₃O₄ as the core, mesoporous silica as the carrier, atrazine as the template, and itaconic acid as the functional monomer. The magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer was characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and vibration‐sample magnetometry. The binding properties of the magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer toward atrazine were investigated by adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and competitive adsorption. It was found that the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 2 h, the maximum adsorption capacity of atrazine was 8.8 μmol/g, and the adsorption process could be well described by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo‐second‐order kinetic model. The magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer exhibited good adsorption selectivity for atrazine with respect to structural analogues, such as cyanazine, simetryne, and prometryn. The reusability of the magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer was demonstrated for at least five repeated cycles without a significant decrease in adsorption capacity. These results suggested that the magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer could be used as an efficient material for the selective adsorption and removal of atrazine from water samples.     

Capillary zone electrophoretic determination of hydroxymetabolites of atrazine in potable water using solid-phase extraction with Amberchrom resins

A CZE-separation system for hydroxyatrazine, desisopropylhydroxyatrazine, desethylhydroxyatrazine and ammeline is presented that allows their determination in environmental waters in the subgL^–1 domain after solid-phase extraction/enrichment with styrene-divinylbenzene and methacrylate macroporous (Amberchrom) resins. The CZE separation and determination system uses the stacking effect and an increased light path for UV-detection (bubble cell). The etching of the bubble cell was done in our laboratory. A ruggedness check of the CZE-system revealed the resolution of theN-dealkylated metabolites to be sensitive to pH, temperature and current variations as well as to changes of capillary dimensions. Fine-tuning of the separation is performed by variation of the current intensity in the constant-current mode. Recoveries from fortified tap-water samples were 95% for hydroxyatrazine, 70% for desethylhydroxyatrazine and approximately 20% for desisopropylhydroxyatrazine at the 0.2 g L^–1 concentration level. Due to its high polarity, ammeline is only slightly adsorbed on Amberchrom resins and cannot be enriched using these materials.     

Rapid preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers by custom‐made microwave heating for analysis of atrazine in water

The rapid preparation of an atrazine‐imprinted polymer in a cost‐effective custom‐made microwave reactor was demonstrated. The polymerization reaction was accelerated by microwave heating, and the preparation time was greatly shortened (to 1 h). The resulting polymer was successfully applied as solid‐phase extraction adsorbent for the selective extraction and preconcentration of atrazine in environmental water samples. The binding capacity of the polymer was 1.11 mg/g polymer. The polymer provided selectivity with higher recovery of atrazine than of other interfering related contaminants. The proposed method had good limits of detection and quantitation at 0.20 and 0.60 ng/mL, respectively. The recoveries were from 83 to 89% at two spiking levels, with relative standard deviations less than 5%. This method was successfully applied to determine the atrazine levels in environmental water samples.

Immobilization of atrazine on gold,a first step towards the elaboration of an indirect immunosensor: characterization by XPS and PM‐IRRAS

As part of our long‐term goal to design a novel type of immunosensor based on IR transduction, we devised two strategies to immobilize derivatives of the herbicide atrazine on the surface of planar gold substrates. Both strategies take advantage of the well‐known formation of self‐assembled monolayers of thiolates via spontaneous chemisorption of thiols or disulphides on noble metal surfaces. The first strategy involved the direct chemisorption of a disulphide derivative of atrazine, while the second strategy was based on the covalent attachment of a polymer tethered with atrazine derivatives to a previously adsorbed thiolate carrying a carboxylic acid head group. The resulting organic thin films on gold were characterized by polarization modulation infrared reflection‐absorption spectroscopy (PM‐IRRAS) and XPS. The binding of a polyclonal anti‐atrazine antibody to both sensing layers was also tested and compared. It appeared that specific molecular recognition occurred only on the atrazine disulphide sensing layer. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Flow-through fluorescence immunosensor for atrazine determination

A new flow-through fluoroimmunosensor for atrazine determination based on the use of protein A immobilized on controlled pore glass as immunoreactor is reported. The support, placed in the optical path of the flow cell, allows the ‘in situ’ quantification of atrazine by on-line antigen–antibody binding upon successive injections of both substances. The immunosensor has a detection limit of 2.1 μg l⁻¹, a sample speed of about 10 samples per hour, and provides high reproducibility both within-day (3.2% for 5 μg l⁻¹ and 2.2% for 30 μg l⁻¹) and between days. The optimum working concentration range was 2.1–50 μg l⁻¹. Possible interferences of other triazines like simazine, desethylatrazine (DEA) and desisopropylatrazine (DIA) were evaluated. Simazine and DIA were not cross-reactive; however, the cross-reactivity for DEA was CR=7.7%. The proposed immunosensor was successfully applied to the determination of atrazine in drinking water and citrus fruits.     

Adsorption and desorption of atrazine on carbon nanotubes

The potential impact of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on human health and the environment is receiving more and more attention. The high surface area of CNTs tends to adsorb a large variety of toxic chemicals, which may enhance the toxicity of CNTs and/or toxic chemicals. In this study, adsorption and desorption of atrazine on carbon nanotubes from aqueous solution were studied through batch reactors. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms were nonlinear and were fitted by Freundlich, Langmuir, and Polanyi-Manes models. It was found that the Polanyi-Manes model described the adsorption process better than other two isotherm models. Together with the "characteristic curve," the Polanyi adsorption potential theory is applicable to describe the adsorption process of atrazine on CNTs. Thermodynamic calculations indicated that the adsorption reaction of atrazine on CNTs is spontaneous and exothermic. The desorption data showed that no significant desorption hysteresis occurred. High adsorption capacity and adsorption reversibility of atrazine on CNTs suggest that CNTs have high health and environmental risks, whereas they have potential applications for atrazine removal from water.     

Screening and Monitoring of Herbicides Behaviour in Soils by Enzyme Immunoassays

Abstract

A simplified approach to screen cropland for residues of atrazine and its main metabolite deethylated atrazine has been presented. A time-saving and cost-effective screening method has been developed using an aqueous extraction step. The measurement of the extracts was done by immunoassay technique (ELISA). Antibodies against atrazine and deethylated atrazine were used in the study. The overall detection limit of the analysis of atrazine residues in soil is 1 μg kg^?1 and 2 μg kg^?1 for its deethylated metabolite, respectively. It is shown that this approach yields adequate information to judge the ground-water hazard potential of treated fields.

Degradation of atrazine by Fenton and modified Fenton reactions

Abstract  

For 50 years, farmers around the world have relied on the herbicide atrazine—one of the triazine family of herbicides—to fight weeds in corn, grain sorghum, sugar cane, and other crops. Although prohibited in the European Union because of widespread contamination of waterways and drinking water supplies, it is still one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. Atrazine and some of its degradation products are among the most commonly found xenobiotics in groundwater and soils in the world. It is also an endocrine disruptor that causes abnormal reproductive development and immune suppression in wildlife. The purpose of this study was to identify the degradation products of atrazine. Fenton reaction treatment, a hydroxyl radical oxidation process recently developed for the degradation of aqueous pesticide waste, was applied to the degradation of atrazine. Classical and modified Fenton reactions have been used as Advanced Oxidation Process treatment methods. A HPLC method was developed and optimized for the identification of resulting degradation products. In general, very good atrazine degradation efficiencies were achieved by both of the methods used. The degradation products, such as oxalic acid, urea, formic acid, acetic acid, and acetone, were identified by HPLC with a photodiode array detector.

Degradation of atrazine and several organophosphorus pesticides in oranges

The degradation of atrazine and four organophosphorus pesticides (chlorpyriphos, fenamiphos, methidathion and methyl-parathion) in oranges was studied. Oranges were immersed in a Milli-Q water solution spiked with 10 mg litre-1 of each pesticide for one day, allowing their adsorption on the orange peel. Then, the oranges were rinsed with Milli-Q water and left outdoors to expose them to natural ambient conditions for two weeks. In parallel, an aqueous solution containing 1 mg litre-1 of each pesticide was placed in a Pyrex flask, which was tightly closed, and exposed to the same ambient conditions. Both samples (orange peel and Milli-Q water) were analyzed periodically by gas chromatography coupled to a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. The pesticide degradation in both samples could be described using a first-order degradation curve. Half-lives varied from 14.5 to more than 30 days in aqueous solution and from 2.3 to 4.1 days in oranges for organophosphorus pesticides, while those for atrazine were 3.1 days and 14.2 days, respectively. The presence of some organophosphorus degradation products in water samples after storage under the above conditions was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.     

Interaction of atrazine with Laurentian humic acid

Ultrafiltration fractionation and liquid chromatography have been applied to study the binding and hydrolysis of polar herbicide atrazine on a stoichiometrically well characterized Laurentian humic acid. The main advantage of this method over gas chromatography is the simultaneous determination of both free and bound atrazine, hydroxyatrazine and copper(II) ion with satisfactory accuracy and precision. Atrazine binding requires extensive carboxylate site protonation but the binding sites represent only a very small fraction of total carboxylate of humic acid. The results show that binding of atrazine is not competitive with binding of the hydrolysis product hydroxyatrazine, the binding capacity is reduced at higher ionic strength or by cation competition for carboxylate and the atrazine binding constant and free energy of binding can be fitted by a single value at all pH values. The differences between atrazine binding by fulvic acid and humic acid can be ascribed to the structure difference, one being a flexible linear polymer and the other a three-dimensional colloidal gel particle.     

Factors affecting atrazine concentration and quantitative determination in chlorinated water

Although the herbicide atrazine has been reported to not react measurably with free chlorine during drinking water treatment, this work demonstrates that at contact times consistent with drinking water distribution system residence times, a transformation of atrazine can be observed. Some transformation products detected through the use of high performance liquid chromatography–electrospray mass spectrometry are consistent with the formation of N-chloro atrazine. The effects of applied chlorine, pH, and reaction time on the transformation reaction were studied to help understand the practical implications of the transformation on the accurate determination of atrazine in drinking waters. The errors in the determination of atrazine are a function of the type of dechlorinating agent applied during sample preparation and the analytical instrumentation utilized. When a reductive dechlorinating agent, such as sodium sulfite or ascorbic acid is used, the quantification of the atrazine can be inaccurate, ranging from 2-fold at pH 7.5 to 30-fold at pH 6.0. The results suggest HPLC/UV and ammonium chloride quenching may be best for accurate quantification. Hence, the results also appear to have implications for both compliance monitoring and health effects studies that utilize gas chromatography analysis with sodium sulfite or ascorbic acid as the quenching agent.
