Desorption of two organophosphorous pesticides from soil with wastewater and surfactant solutions

Evaluation of the phytoremediation potential of three plant species for azoxystrobin-contaminated soil

“…Thus, it could be hypothesized that azoxystrobin desorption by Tween 80 in this soil may be dependent on surfactant concentration with an optimal level at about 0.5 CMC. On the other hand, other authors have shown that Tween 80 increase diazinon availability at a wide range of concentrations (0.75 mg/L to 10 g/L) (Hernandez-Soriano et al 2010). However, this result was obtained in a soil with lower clay content.…”

Fe2O3–palygorskite nanoparticles, efficient adsorbates for pesticide removal

“…Fortified samples were transferred to glass bottles and homogenized by shaking for one day at 20°C in the darkness (Hernández-Soriano et al, 2012). Afterwards, samples were stored (4°C) for subsequent analysis.…”

Changes in the persistence of two phenylurea herbicides in two Mediterranean soils under irrigation with low- and high-quality water: A laboratory approach

“…Herbicides are usually applied to soils, where they can be subjected to different processes, such as sorption/desorption, transport and chemical or biological transformation. Several reports have addressed the effect of irrigation with urban treated WW on pesticide sorption/desorption (Drori et al, 2005;González et al, 2010;ElGouzi et al, 2012;Hernández-Soriano et al, 2012;Rodríguez-Liébana et al, 2011, 2014a) and on pesticide leaching (Graber et al, 1995;Seol and Lee, 2000;González et al, 2010;Peña et al, 2011;Müller et al, 2012), with variable results depending on pesticide and soil properties. However less information on pesticide degradation as affected by WW irrigation has been found in the literature (Vela et al, 2004;Hernández-Soriano et al, 2009;Dvorkin et al, 2012) and this is an aspect which deserves deeper attention, because it is a determinant process in the environmental fate of pesticides.…”
