Emprego de diferentes energias em conjunto com nano-materiais para degradação de Atrazina

Abstract

Atrazine 5 mg L-1 was subjected to photolytic assays using ultraviolet radiation (UV), microwave (MW), ultrasound (US), MW-UV, UV-US, with removal of 60% (120 min - UV) 40% (3 min - MW), 2% (80 min - US), 67% (120 min - US / UV) and 87% (4 min - MW / UV) showing that the addition of energy acts in order to optimize the process of degradation of atrazine. After photolytic processes, the samples were subjected to wavelength sweep in the range of 190 to 300nm, where the graphics made explicit spectral scan degradation of the parent compound (Atrazine). Photolytic studies using the microwave and ultraviolet energy associated were performed for solutions containing different pHs, where the irradiated samples demonstrated that at pH = 8.37 degradation was more efficient, with 10% variation in efficiency between pH = 5.14 and pH = 8.37. The radiation time showed significantly degrade rapidly to the value of 90 seconds of exposure, and after this interval (0 to 90 sec), degradation has become less pronounced. For the monitoring of products resulting from degradation processes, developed a method of separation and determination of Atrazine and seven (7) of its metabolites, which after several trials, was reached optimal conditions of separation, which are flow constant mobile phase 1mL.min-1, controlled 25 ° C, mobile phase consisting of pH 7.0 buffer (19,5 mmol L-1 KH2PO4 / 30,5 mmol L-1 KH2PO4) and acetonitrile (HPLC grade) the system being used in gradient mode with the following conditions: 0 to 3 min (100% Buffer PO43- / 0% ACN) from 3 to 10 min (80% PO43- buffer / 20% ACN), 10 to 20 min (30 % PO43- buffer / 70% ACN), and 20 to 25 min (10% PO43-- buffer / 90% ACN), thereby permitting determination of their retention times (minutes) for the compounds DEDIHAT (2.5 min), DIHAT (9.17 min) DEDIAT (9.3 min) DEHAT (10.7 min) DIAT (14.6 min), HAT (15.5 min), DEAT (16.6 min) and ATZ (20.9 min) using detection at a wavelength of 221nm.
