The adsorption of atrazine on soil and model adsorbents as it affects atrazinehydrolysis was determined. Of the adsorbents investigated only the soil and a carboxylic resin affected the rate of atrazine hydrolysis. A phenolic resin, cellulose acetate, andmontmorillonite clay exhibited high atrazine adsorption capacities but did not affect the rate of atrazine hydrolysis. For the soil and the carboxyl resin, the first-order rate constant for atrazine hydrolysis was related directly to the extent (%) of atrazine adsorption; for the same extent of adsorptionthe hydrolysis rate was higher in the presence of the carboxyl resin than soil. Adsorption catalyzed hydrolysis apparently resulted from hydrogen bonding between the adsorbentcarboxyl and atrazine ring nitrogen atom. This conclusion was supported by the ability of the carboxyl resin to catalyze hydrolysis, the decrease in atra-zine adsorption with increased resin carboxyl group ionization or atrazine ring nitrogen atom protonation, and the direct relationship between hydrolysis rate and the extent of ad-sorption on the carboxyl resin and soil.1—Previous investigations have shown that atrazine is hydrolyzed to hydroxyatrazine in soil systems (Arm-strong, Chesters, et al., 1967; Harris, 1967) by a nonbiological reaction catalyzed apparently by adsorption at soil colloidal surfaces (Armstrong, Chesters, et al., 1967). The possibility that adsorption catalyzes atrazinehydrolysis in soil is sup-ported by recent evidence that montmorillonite, a common soil mineral, promotes atrazine hydrolysis (Russell, Cruz, et al., 1968). Several types of pesticides, other than triazines, are also susceptibleto chemical degradation in the presence of soil particles (Konrad, 1967; Konrad, Armstrong, et al., 1967). Chemical hydrolysis of atrazine to hydroxyatrazine is of considerable importance in soils in view of the nonphyto-toxicity of hydroxyatrazine and the resistance of atrazine to
