Sorption of carbendazim on activated carbons derived from rape straw and its mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Due to the production and widespread application of pesticides, pesticide pollution poses a potential danger to human health and the ecosystem. Herein, activated carbons employing rape straw as a precursor were produced using H₃PO₄ as an activating agent at various temperatures (300-600 °C). The activated carbons differed with respect to the physicochemical properties, which were derived from elemental analysis, N₂ sorption-desorption, FTIR, XPS, XRD, pH_pzc, Boehm titration and blocking of the oxygen-containing groups. The oxygen-containing functional groups and the pore structure of the activated carbons obtained from the different preparation conditions were quite different. The as-prepared samples were applied as sorbents to remove carbendazim
