Adsorption of Atrazine from Synthetic Contaminated Water Using a Packed-Bed Column with a Low-Cost Adsorbent (Moringa oleifera Lam.)
Atrazine (ATZ) is an herbicide used for increased food production due to its weed and pesticide control capacity in different crops. However, ATZ is a chemical compound that is harmful to the environment and human health, and, unfortunately, it has been detected in surface and groundwater. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to perform the adsorption of Atrazine from a synthetically contaminated water sample using a packed-bed column with a low-cost adsorbent prepared from Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds. The synthesized adsorbent presented an increase in the surface specific area (SBET) of 37% in comparison with the in natura material. The effects of the peristaltic pump flow rate (Q), concentration of the ATZ inlet ([ATZ]inlet) solution, and bed height (H) were studied, with the highest percentage of ATZ removed through the adsorption column (50, 0%) obtained with a packed-bed column with H = 13 cm bed height, Q = 1 mL/min, [ATZ]inlet = 2.0 mg/L, pH = 5.0, a breakthrough time of 25 min, and a saturation time of 420 min. The logistic model was used to best fit the experimental data with an R2 > 0.99, and the Bohart–Adams, Thomas, and Yoon–Nelson models were used to explain and analyze the obtained effects in the continuous adsorption of ATZ. Therefore, the Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds provided a low-cost adsorbent for the continuous adsorption of the herbicide Atrazine in a packed-bed column.
