Abstract:A large-scale removal of micropollutants from residual waters is an urgent problem to be tackled. In this work, three biomasses from agricultural residues, produced by different processes, were compared in terms of the adsorption efficiency of toxic species in water. The biosorbents used were rice husk ashes (RHA), leached rice husk silica (SRHA), and rice straw ashes (RSA). Two representatives of the most common micropollutants present in the effluent waters, 2-nitrophenol and the pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenox… Show more
