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 cautious not to use solvent programs that interfere with atrazine (A). The adsorption 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.
