Abstract

Nanocrystalline γ-alumina was prepared by the sol-gel method from aluminum sec-butoxide and, after characterization by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, was used as an adsorbent for two common organophosphorus pesticides, diethoxy-[(2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl)oxy]-thioxophosphorane (diazinon) and dimethoxy-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenoxy)-thioxophosphorane (fenitrothion). Absorption of these pesticides from hexane was monitored by UV-vis and 31P NMR spectroscopies. Adsorption of the aforementioned pesticides by nanocrystalline alumina prepared by the sol-gel method and calcined at 500°C and 800°C was compared with their adsorption by micron-size commercial alumina. Sol-gel derived nanocrystalline alumina showed significantly higher activity than commercial alumina in the destructive adsorption of diazinon and fenitrothion. The bonding mode of pesticides over nanocrystalline and commercial γ-aluminas was investigated by infrared spectroscopy.
