Pesticides play an important role in the success of modern farming and food production but their use increases the residue levels in soils and waters and has been a public concern because of the potential risk to human health and the environment. Pesticides are generally applied in larger amounts than those needed for the pest control and they are swept away by transport processes such as leaching. Liquid phase...
The work presented here focuses on the adsorption of MCPA on a series of ACs prepared from recycled PET or cork via different activation methods. All ACs were characterised by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and by elemental analysis. The adsorption isotherms of MCPA were determined on selected ACs, where the same amount of AC was added to flasks containing equal volumes of aqueous solutions with different initial...
