Removal of Malathion from Aqueous Solutions and Waste Water Using Fly Ash

Abstract: Fly ash, obtained from a thermal power plant, Anpara, Sonebhadra, India has been used as an effective ad-sorbent for the removal of malathion from aqueous solutions. The time required to attain equilibrium was found to increase from 40 to 60 minutes as the initial malathion concentration increases from 1 to 10 mg/L. The optimum pH value for adsorption was 4.50. The removal of malathion increased by increasing the tem-perature indicating endothermic nature of removal process. The fly ash exhibited first order r… Show more

“…It is used in agriculture (as a fertilizer) [ 54 ], forestation [ 55 ], reclamation of wasteland [ 56 ], and for maintaining the pH of acidic soil [ 56 ]. CFA is also used as an adsorbent for the removal of pollutants—mainly dyes [ 57 , 58 ], pesticides [ 57 , 58 ], and heavy metals [ 59 , 60 ]—from wastewater. It is used for making nanocomposites [ 61 ] that are applicable in the defense industry [ 62 , 63 ] and the production of lightweight materials [ 64 , 65 ].…”
