Adsorption–desorption behavior of atrazine was studied in three soils belonging to different soil geographical zones. Experimental investigations focused on the effect of laccase addition on adsorption and desorption of target chemical when present in solution. Addition of laccase resulted in a dramatic increase in adsorption of the atrazine. Desorption was little or negligible. Hysteresis, represented by hysteresis indices, was significantly enhanced upon laccase addition. Increases in Freundlich KF values upon laccase addition were attributed to the covalent bonding of atrazine to soil organic matter by oxidative coupling mechanism.
