“…A suitable choice of the latter is especially important for the removal of non-biodegradable compounds (including phenolic compounds, pharmaceuticals and pesticides) where sorption processes can play the major role in the wastewater treatment (Reddy and DeLaune, 2008;Imfeld et al, 2009;Ahmad et al, 2010;Passeport et al, 2011). In previous studies, light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) materials have been proven adequate for the development of plants and microorganisms in CWs and showed a high capacity to sorb many types of organic molecules (Dordio et al, 2007(Dordio et al, , 2009a(Dordio et al, , 2010Calheiros et al, 2008).…”

H I G H L I G H T S• CW with LECA substrate and Phragmites plants tested with agricultural wastewaters.• High removals of TSS, COD, NH 4 -N, polyphenols, a pharmaceutical and a pesticide.• Contact time of wastewaters with beds ranged from 3 to 9days in batch conditions.• Promising results suggest more studies in full-scale and more realistic conditions. Constructed wetlands (CWs) are receiving a renewed attention as a viable phytotechnology for treating agricultural wastewaters and for the removal of more specific pollutants, in particular recalcitrant ones. In this work, the performance of CW mesocosms using light expanded clay aggregates (LECA) as the bed's substrate and planted with Phragmites australis was investigated for treatment of olive mill wastewater (OMW), swine wastewater (SW) contaminated with oxytetracycline and water contaminated with herbicide MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid). Both wastewaters (OMW and SW) initially presented high organic matter content and total suspended solids which were removed by the system with efficiencies higher than 80%. Removal of polyphenols in OMW and nitrogen compounds in SW also showed similar or higher efficiencies in comparison with other treatment systems reported in the literature. The antibiotic oxytetracycline was completely removed from SW within the assay period in unplanted LECA beds, but planted beds allowed a significantly faster removal. In regard to water contaminated with MCPA, the results showed that LECA has a large sorption capacity for this herbicide (removal efficiencies of 56-97%). In general, considerably higher pollutant removal efficiencies were obtained when plants were used (up to 28% higher). The results obtained are indicative that CWs with LECA as substrate may be an adequate option for agricultural wastewater treatment. a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o

“…Some of the methods used to remove pesticides from water are advanced oxidation process, combined photo-Fenton and biological oxidation, photocatalytic degradation, nanofiltration membranes, ozonation, aerobic degradation, electrodialysis using membranes and adsorption (Ahmad et al 2010). Among these methods, adsorption has its inherent advantages over the other physicochemical methods (Salman et al 2011a), and has thus attracted researchers across the world.…”

Rice husk ash (RHA) is a rich source of micronutrients and improves yield, and is spread on agriculture lands as a farming practice. For the first time, RHA has been evaluated as an adsorbent for pesticide removal from aqueous solutions. RHA was characterized extensively by X-ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, BET surface area, CO 2 , H 2 O, N 2 and SO 2 (CHNS) analysis. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a commonly used pesticide, was chosen as a representative adsorbate for studying the effects of various parameters in batch adsorption. Compared with granulated activated carbon, RHA gave 10,000 times higher rate constant. Thus, RHA adsorbs 2,4-D instantly and stops its further transport through soil. On the basis of adsorption capacity, RHA dosage per hectare of land is recommended for different crops and fruits. Thus, RHA serves dual purposes: (a) as a source of micronutrients and (b) as an effective adsorbent for fast removal of pesticide, in addition to inhibiting groundwater leaching.

A simple voltammetric determination of metsulfuron-methyl in water samples using differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry

2017

The voltammetric determination of metsulfuron-methyl, a type of pesticide, was investigated on a hanging mercury drop electrode using a differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry technique. The experimental parameters, such as the pH of the Britton-Robinson buffer, accumulation time, accumulation potential and initial potential were optimized for the metsulfuronmethyl determination. A well-defined reduction peak was observed at pH 2.0 to 4.0 in the potential range of −0.75 to −1.0 V. The pH of 2.0 was chosen as the optimum pH due to a good stripping signal of the reduction peak. There were no significant interfering ion effects on the electroanalysis of metsulfuron-methyl. The optimized parameters were then used to determine metsulfuron-methyl in the commercial pesticide Ally. The proposed method was highly sensitive due to the lower limit of determination (0.04 mg/L), being relatively selective, and consisting of good precision. The recovery values achieved were about 93% in water samples for this analysis.
