Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the adsorption capacity of atrazine and the effects of different environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, Ca2+ and biochar on the adsorption characteristics of atrazine in different types of soil using the intermittent adsorption method. The kinetic experiment showed that the adsorption of atrazine in albic, black and saline–alkaline soils reached equilibrium within 24 h. In the thermodynamics experiment, the Freundlich model effectively described the adsorption characteristics of atrazine in all three types of soil, indicating that the adsorption process forms multi-molecular layers. Lower soil pH conditions were more favorable for the absorption of atrazine. The addition of appropriate concentrations of Ca2+ or biochar could promote the adsorption of atrazine by the soil. Biochar could promote the fixation of atrazine in soils.
