Abstract

In this paper, the applicability of carboxylic functionalized carbon nanotubes modified with metal oxides of Fe and Mn (CNT-COOH/MnO2/Fe3O4) as adsorbent for the removal of two pesticides from aqueous solution in batch method was studied. The two pesticides studied were devrinol and triadimefon. Their adsorption on nanocomposite was studied in relation to several factors such as the effect of the pH, initial concentration of pollutant, amount of adsorbent dose, temperature and contact time. The residual pesticide concentration was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detector (HPLC–PDA). The experimental data best fit with Langmuir isotherm model and follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Depending on the temperature, the adsorption capacity of pesticides on nanocomposite varies between 14.925 and 20.492 mg g−1 for devrinol and between 12.723 and 14.706 mg g−1 for triadimefon. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the retention of devrinol and triadimefon onto CNT-COOH/MnO2/Fe3O4 was spontaneous and endothermic. The experimental results obtained reveal that CNT-COOH/MnO2/Fe3O4 nanocomposite is a promising adsorbent for pesticides removal from the wastewater.
