REMOVAL OF PESTICIDE FROM WATER USING INDUSTRIAL WASTE AS ECONOMICAL ADSORBENT

Abstract

In the last two decades, India has experienced a significant rise in pesticide use in agriculture, resulting in pollution of ground and surface water. Consequently, removing pesticides from water has become a crucial need in this new era. Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential of using manure waste as a low-cost adsorbent to remove carbofuran pesticides from water. We conducted batch experiments to investigate the adsorption properties of carbofuran
