The study investigated the adsorption mechanisms of imazamox, imazapic, and imazethapyr on sediment, revealing that intraparticle diffusion and external mass transport were the main rate controlling steps of the adsorption process. The study also found that chemical adsorption was dominant during the adsorption processes.
To reveal the adsorption mechanisms of imazamox, imazapic, and imazethapyr on sediment and batch experiments were carried out in this study. The adsorption kinetics of three imidazolinone herbicides on sediment were accurately described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model(R-2 > 0.9004). The values of adsorption capacity (Q(e.cal)) were ranged from 0.0183 to 0.0859 mg kg(-1) for three herbicides. Adsorption equilibrium was reached within 24 h for three herbicides on sediment, and well fitted by the Freundlich model(R-2 > 0.9561). The K-F of values for adsorption obtained sediment samples were ranged from 0.2501 to 1.322 L-1/n mg(1-1/n) kg(-1)for three herbicides. These results indicated that intraparticle diffusion and external mass transport were the main rate controlling steps of the adsorption of herbicides on sediment and that the chemical adsorption was dominant during the adsorption processes. The calculated hysteresis coefficient H were 0.9422,0.7877 and 0.744 for imazmox, imazapic and imazethapyr in raw sediment, respectively, indicating that there is a hysteresis in desorption. The influences of solution pH and sediment organic carbon content on the imidazolinone herbicide adsorption behaviors were also examined. Which shown that the adsorption process for herbicides was highly pH-dependent and adsorption efficiency was closely related to the organic matter content of the sediment, suggesting that electrostatic interactions played crucial roles in the adsorption behavior between sediment and imidazolinone herbicides, and the herbicides were mostly absorbed by the amorphous materials of sediment. These research findings are important for assessing the fate and transport of imidazolinone herbicides in wateresediment systems. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
