Adsorption of herbicide 2,4-D from aqueous solution using organo-modified bentonite clay

Acid‐Thermally Modified Merremia vitifolia for the Removal of 2,4‐Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

“…The widespread use of toxic pesticides is causing severe contamination of water bodies [1]. This research work is focused on the development of a biosorbent for the adsorptive removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a common ingredient in many pesticide and herbicide mixtures [2] which is highly toxic [3]. 2,4-D is not easily biodegradable [4] and its half-life is site-specific [5].…”

Technological Evaluation of Cubati/Brazil Montmorillonite / Avaliação Tecnológica Da Montmorillonita De Cubati/Brasil

“…The adsorption of potentially toxic metals [7][8][9][10], herbicides [11][12][13][14][15] and dyes [16][17][18] has often been found in literature, since clay minerals consist of a low cost and high availability raw material, especially if compared to the usual adsorbent. Currently, some studies have focused on the adsorption of drugs present in water sources [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], Brazilian Journal of Development, Curitiba, v.7, n.1, p.5203-5222 jan. 2021 due to the harmful effects on flora, fauna and, consequently, on population.…”

Photocatalytic degradation of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicide using supported iridium materials

“…It is important to mention that the World Health Organization established a maximum concentration of 2,4-D in drinking water equal to 70 ppb [11]. In order to achieve its effective treatment, several strategies have been tested including: electrocoagulation [12], biological degradation [13], catalytic ozonation [14], adsorption [15] and photocatalysis [16].…”
