  • Title: Adsorption studies on wastewaters from cypermethrin manufacturing process using activated coconut shell carbon.
    Author: Bhuvaneswari K, Ravi Prasad P, Sarma PN.
    Journal: J Environ Sci Eng; 2007 Oct; 49(4):265-72. PubMed ID: 18476373.
    Abstract:
    Cypermethrin is a pyrethroid pesticide and is used in the control of a wide range of insects on crops like vegetables, cereals, maize etc. In the present study, the adsorption efficiency of coconut shell based activated carbon for the removal of color and organic matter from cypermethrin pesticide manufacturing industrial wastewater was investigated. Effect of carbon dosage, pH and contact time on the removal of COD was also studied. Equilibrium and kinetic studies were carried out and the data was fitted in Freundlich and Langmuir models. The study proved that activated coconut shell carbon (acc) is an efficient adsorbent for treatment of cypermethrin industrial wastewaters under study.
