Sorption of imidacloprid on soil clay mineral and organic components

Soil clay mineral and organic components have been shown to be responsible for sorption of many pesticides. This study assessed the influence of the different components of the clay fraction of five soils and model sorbents (montmorillonite, Fe oxide, and humic acid) and their binary and ternary associations on sorption of the insecticide imidacloprid (1-[(6-chloro -3-pyridinyl)-methyl ]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine). Sorption was very high on a clay fraction containing a high content of low-laminar-charge montmorillonite and relatively high organic C content When organic matter of the soil days was reduced by H 2 O 2 , sorption decreased; however, the sorption coefficient based on organic C (K oc ) increased. The increase in K oc was greater on clays whose surface areas substantially increased after H 2 O 2 treatment. This indicates a contribution of the surfaces of mineral components of the soil clay to sorption of imidacloprid. Imidacloprid sorbed on both montmorillonite and humic acid, whereas sorption on Fe oxide was very low. The sorption distribution coefficient, K d , on montmorillonite increased from 15 to 180 when pH was decreased from 3.5 to 1.0, suggesting protonation of the -NH group of the imidazol ring. Sorption on binary and ternary associations of these model sorbents indicated that organic matter is the single most important component affecting sorption of imidacloprid, although there is some contribution of the mineral surfaces.
