Adsorption of atrazine herbicide from water by diospyros kaki fruit waste activated carbon

Investigation of biochar from Cedrella fissilis applied to the adsorption of atrazine herbicide from an aqueous medium

“…This behavior may be related to the increase in the energy exchange during the process [53]. Salomón et al [14] also observed that at the same temperature interval, the atrazine adsorption capacity increased from 194.2 to 211.5 mg g -1 , using activated carbon from fruit residues. The same behavior was reported by Alahabadi and Moussavi [54] using activated charcoal prepared from the dry stem of the Calligonum comosum plant when the temperature was raised from 283 to 313 K.…”

“…They verified the removal of 70% using activated charcoal. In the study by Salomon et al [14], reduced the atrazine concentration from 4.7 µg L -1 to 0.70 µg L -1 in the Jacuí River water, using activated charcoal.…”

“…In recent years, several carbonaceous compounds have been successfully used to remove herbicides [13][14][15][16][17][20][21][22][23][24]. The species Cedrella fissilis is used in the wood industry.…”

Residual peel of pitaya fruit (Hylocereus undatus) as a precursor to obtaining an efficient carbon-based adsorbent for the removal of metanil yellow dye from water

“…The first stage can be characterized by a moisture loss generally related to the presence of water [66]. Followed by the thermal decomposition of the HUPAC, which is related to any hemicellulose or lignin molecules that have not been converted during the pyrolysis process [67]. Although there is a weight loss of 14%, the activated carbon is resistant enough to endurance most adsorption process which depends on heating.…”

Adsorption of the First-Line Covid Treatment Analgesic onto Activated Carbon from Residual Pods of Erythrina Speciosa

“…Previous studies confirmed that pyrolysis followed by chemical activation with ZnCl 2 causes morphological changes in materials of plant origin, such as eucalyptus residues (Han et al 2020), olive pits (Baldoni et al 2020), leaves of folium cycas (Kong et al 2020), peanut husks (Georgin et al 2016), seed pods of Jacaranda mimosifolia (Georgin et al 2021), fruit residues from the Ceiba sp. forest species (Franco et al 2021), Diospyros kaki fruit residues (Salomón et al 2022), residues from the mushroom Agaricus bisporus (Lazarotto et al 2021) and residual peel of pitaya fruit (Georgin et al 2022).…”
