Abstract
We investigated the adsorption characteristics of hydroxyatrazine (HA) and introduced a relatively simple method to analyze and extract the compound from wetland sediment. Although concentration of HA could be easily measured using an amino-phase HPLC column, one should be cautio us not to use solvent programs that interfere with atrazine (A). The a dsorption characteristic of HA on wetland sediment was roughly linear with a distribution coefficient of 0.057 L/g. About 90% of HA adsorbed on the sediment was recovered using our heated extraction method.
