Description
Atrazine is a white, odorless, crystalline solid or powder which is often mixed with a flammable liquid.
Atrazine is an herbicide and plant growth regulator used for season-long weed control in corn, sorghum, and certain other crops. Banned for use as a pesticide in the EU. US annual use . 75 millon pounds.
UN2763 Triazine pesticides, solid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Atrazine is hydrolyzed by either acid or base. The hydroxy compounds are generally herbicidally inactive, but their complete environmental effects are uncertain. However, the method appears suitable for limited use and quantities of triazine. Atrazine underwent .99% decomposition when burned in a polyethylene bag, and combustion with a hydrocarbon fuel would appear to be a generally suitable method for small quantities. Combustion of larger quantities would probably require the use of a caustic wet scrubber to remove nitrogen oxides and HCl from the product gases.
