Abstract:The herbicide of atrazine (AT) is characterized by being highly persistent in the environment,which is one of the most widely used herbicide in the word,can make carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting effects on the human body.Study on its mobility and transformation in the environment is of great significance.To understand the effects of dissolved humic acids (HA) on photodegradation of the β-cyclodextrins/atrazine,the mutual effect between β-cyclodextrins and atrazine,humic acid and atrazine were studied.And the effects of humic acids on photodegradation of the β-cyclodextrins/atrazine were also studied.The results show that atrazine photodegradation followed the first-order reaction kinetics.β-cyclodextrins can promote atrazine's degradation when atrazine was mixed with β-cyclodextrins at mole ratio 2∶1 and 1∶2.Those different concentrations of humic acids were added into atrazine solution inhibited atrazine's photodegradation,and the rate decreased with increasing HA concentration.When atrazine was mixed with β-cyclodextrins at mole ratio 2∶1,humic acids can promote atrazine's photodegradation,and the rate increased with increasing HA concentration.
