Application of Sugar Cane Bagasse Hydrochar for Fipronil and Atrazine Removal from Water.

ABSTRACT: Pesticides are persistent environmental pollutants that pose risks to human health and ecosystems while also contributing to the contamination of waterways. Conventional water treatment technologies are often ineffective in removing pesticides. Therefore, several treatments have been developed to prevent these compounds from being present in the finished water. In this context, a hydrochar synthesized via hydrothermal carbonization of sugar cane bagasse and vinasse was evaluated to remove atrazine (ATZ) and fipronil (FIP) from water. Kinetic data for ATZ and FIP were successfully fitted using the Elovich (R ² = 0.937) and PFO models (R ² = 0.791), respectively. The adsorption equilibrium was reached at 48 h for ATZ and 1 h for FIP. The Langmuir, Freundli
