Adsorption Of The Pesticides Bentazon, Carbofuran And 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid By Mesoporous Activated Carbons Prepared From Agriculture Waste

The adsorption of bentazon, carbofuran and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from aqueous solution by activated carbons prepared from agricultural waste materials (palm oil fronds, banana stalks and date stones) was studied using batch and continuous processes. Mesoporous activated carbon...
