Adsorption of Pesticides and Their Biodegraded Products on Clay Minerals and Soils

چکیده
Adsorption isotherms of 10 pesticides and their biodegradation intermediates on clay minerals and soils were investigated to predict the fate of pesticides in the environment. The adsorption isotherms were expressed by the Freundlich isotherm equation. Pentachloronitrobenzene, 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl-4′-nitrophenylether, and various intermediates were highly adsorbed on soils, although isoprothiolane was only slightly adsorbed. The adsorbabilities of pesticides on ando soil, gray lowland soil, and montmorillonite were higher than those on allophene and kaolinite. These results can be used to study the fate of pesticides.

Adsorption and degradation of four acidic herbicides in soils from southern Spain.
BACKGROUND Pesticide degradation and adsorption in soils are key processes determining whether pesticide use will have any impact on environmental quality. Pesticide degradation in soil generally results in a reduction in toxicity, but some pesticides have breakdown products that are more toxic than the parent compound. Adsorption to soil particles ensures that herbicide is retained in the plac...
متن کاملEffect of crop rotation on the changes of potassium forms and clay minerals under Mediterranean climatic condition
ABSTRACT-The influence of intensive crop rotation on the distribution of potassium forms and clay mineralogy was assessed under a Mediterranean condition in the Piranshar region, northwest of Iran. For this purpose, surface soil samples in relation to six soil sub-groups from crop rotationfiled (sugar beet, wheat, pea, and barley) over five decades and the adjacent uncultivated lands were descr...
متن کاملDistribution of zinc and copper chemical forms and their relationship with some physico-chemical properties and clay minerals in some calcareous soils
Determination and recognition of relative distribution of chemical forms of each element and their relationship with physical, chemical and soil clay minerals can help researchers to manage soil fertility better. This research attempted to recognize chemical fractions of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in some surface and subsurface soil samples of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province and their relati...
متن کاملZinc Sorption by Acid, Calcareous and Gypsiferous Soils as Related to Soil Mineralogy
Zinc (Zn) availability and mobility in soils is controlled by its interaction with the soil matrix and amendments. Contradicting evidence has been reported for factors influencing Zn behavior in soils. The aim of this study was to investigate the Zn sorption in selected acid, calcareous and gypsiferous soils with different background electrolytes (Na+, K+ and H2PO4, NO3 and Cl backgrounds). Iso...
متن کاملEffects of Increasing Potassium Chloride and Calcium Chloride Ionic Strength on Pesticide Sorption by Potassium- and Calcium-Smectite
In aqueous suspension, the affinity of many pesticides for smectites is influenced by the clay properties such as surface area, surface charge density and location, exchangeable cations, and hydration status of exchangeable cations in clay interlayers. The amount and the type of salts present in the aqueous phase influence clay quasicrystal structures and hydration status, which we hypothesize ...
