A novel approach for the extraction of herbicides and pesticides from water using liquid‐core microcapsules

A novel perstraction system using liquid‐core microcapsules for pesticide and herbicide removal from aqueous environments is proposed. The microcapsules contain an oil, dibutyl sebacate, surrounded by a hydrogel membrane. The extraction efficiency of the capsules was demonstrated with atrazine, methylparathion, ethylparathion, and 2,4‐dichloro‐phenoxyacetic acid. The results show that all of the tested compounds could be rapidly extracted, typically 75% extraction within 10 minutes using a capsule: liquid volume ratio of only 3.5% for ethylparathion, and that the rate of extraction increased with increasing hydrophobicity of the compound to be extracted. Higher rates of extraction could be achieved by changing the capsule: liquid volume ratio.
