Abstract

Triazine herbicides are commonly used in agriculture to eliminate weeds. However, they can persist in the environment. In this study, we explored a new method for detecting triazine herbicides in aqueous samples. We selected two triazine herbicides, namely, prometryn and ametryn, as model herbicides. To generate magnetic probes, we mixed aqueous Gd3+ with aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), which created magnetic probes made of Gd3+-SDS micelles. These probes showed a trapping capacity for the model herbicides. Results indicated that the trapping capacities of our magnetic probes for ametryn and prometryn were approximately 466 and 468 nmol mg−1, respectively. The dissociation constants of our probes toward ametryn and prometryn were 2.92 × 10−5 and 1.27 × 10−5, respectively. This is the first report that the developed magnetic probes can be used to trap triazine herbicides. For detection, we used carbon fiber ionization mass spectrometry (CFI-MS), which can be used to directly detect semi-volatiles from the samples in the condensed phase. Because of the semi-volatility of triazine herbicides, the herbicides trapped by the magnetic probes can be directly analyzed by CFI-MS without any elution steps. In addition, we also demonstrated the feasibility of using our approach for detecting triazine herbicides in lake water and drinking water.
