Abstract:
This study investigated the degradation of rizazole in water-sediment systems (West Lake system, WL; Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal system, BG) with two different types of sediments under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The half-lives of rizazole in the WL water phase (14.59-15.13 d) were similar to those in the BG water phase (15.90-16.46 d). Within 3-7 d, the rizazole concentration in the sediments reached the maximum values, i.e., equilibrium. Rizazole dissipation was faster in the WL sediment phase with higher organic matter content (T(1/2) = 18.99-19.09 d) compared with the BG sediment phase (T(1/2) = 31.08-33.32 d). Rizazole degradation was slightly faster in the West Lake water-sediment system (WL system) (T(1/2) = 17.11-18.05 d) than in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal water-sediment system (BG system) (T(1/2) = 20.51-25.02 d). The aerobic degradation of rizazole was similar to its anaerobic degradation in the water-sediment system. The findings are useful to understand the behavior of pesticide in environment.
