The degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was studied under different H202/O3 molar ratio and pH value. Meanwhile, TOC removal was investigated both in distilled water and tap water. The influences of ozone transfer and consumed hydrogen peroxide were also discussed. The degradation products and oxidation intermediates were identified by GC-MS and LC-MS.

The 2,4-D-imprinted amino-functionalized silica sorbent was characterized by FT-IR, nitrogen adsorption and static adsorption experiments. The selectivity of the sorbent was investigated by a batch competitive binding experiment using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) mixture or using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4- dichlorophenylacetic acid (DPAC) mixture. The largest selectivity coefficient for 2,4-D in the presence of 2,4-DCP was found to be over 18, the largest relative selectivity coefficient between 2,4-D and 2,4-DCP over 9. The static uptake capacity and selectivity coefficient of the 2,4-D-imprinted functionalized sorbent are higher than those of the non-imprinted sorbent. The imprinted functionalized silica gel sorbent offered a fast kinetics for the extraction/stripping of 2,4-D, 73% of binding capacity (200 mg/L 2,4-D onto 20 mg of imprinted sorbent) was obtained within 5 min and the adsorbed 2,4-D can be easily stripped by the mixture solution of ethanol and 6 mol/L HC1 (V:V =1:1). In a test of five extraction/stripping cycles, the adsorption capacity of the sorbent was all above 93% of that of the fresh sorbent. Experimental result showed the potential of molecularly-imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent for selective removal of 2,4-D.展开更多

Halogenated pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) photochemical degradation in aqueous solution was studied under various solution conditions. The UV intensity,initial 2,4-D concentrations and solution temperature varied from 183.6 to 1048.7 μW·cm-2,from 59.2 to 300.0 μg·L-1 and from 15 to 30℃,respectively. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and pH ranged from 0 to 50 mg·L-1 and 5 to 9,and different water quality solutions (tap water,distilled water and deionized water) were examined in this study. With initial concentration of about 100 μg·L-1,more than 95.6% of 2,4-D can be removed in 90 min at intensity of UV radiation of 843.9 μW·cm-2,H2O2 dosage of 20 mg·L-1,pH 7 and room temperature. The removal efficiency of 2,4-D by UV/H2O2/micro-aeration process is better than UV/H2O2 process. The photodecomposition of 2,4-D in aqueous solution follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. 2,4-D is greatly affected by UV irradation intensity,H2O2 dosage,initial 2,4-D concentration and water quality solutions,but it appears to be slightly influenced by pH and temperature. There is a linear relationship between rate constant k and UV intensity and initial H2O2 concentration,which indicates that higher removal capacity can be achieved by the improvement of these factors. Finally,a preliminary cost analysis reveals that UV/H2O2/micro-aeration process is more cost-effective than the UV/H2O2 process in the removal of 2,4-D from drinking water.展开更多

It is a selective herbicide that kills dicots without affecting monocots and mimics natural auxin at the molecular level. Physiological responses of dicots sensitive to auxinic herbicides include abnormal growth, senescence,and plant death. The identification of auxin receptors, auxin transport carriers, transcription factors response to auxin, and cross-talk among phytohormones have shed light on the molecular action mode of 2,4-D as a herbicide. Here, the molecular action mode of 2,4-D is highlighted according to the latest findings, emphasizing the physiological process, perception, and signal transduction under herbicide treatment.展开更多
