Removal of Selected Pesticides from Aqueous Solution using Cost Effective Soft Drink Bottles
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
A low cost soft drink bottle after chemical and thermal treatment are used to remove chlorpyrifos, dichlorovos, abamectin pesticides from aqueous solutions. The adsorption parameters i.e. PH, contact time and temperature have been studied. The adsorption efficiency of prepared polymers poly (bis (2 - hydroxy ethylene) terephthal) amide (PHETA) was found to be 86%, 79%, 87% for chlorpyrifos, dichlorovos and abamectin respectively within 8hrs at PH 2. The prepared polymer was characterized by FTIR, SEM, TG and XRD. Batch experiments were performed to recover the adsorbed pesticides from the adsorbent surface. The proposed adsorption method was utilized to remove chlorpyrifos, dichlorovos, abamectin pesticides from environmental water samples.
