Multicomponent Adsorption of Pesticides onto Activated Carbon Fibers

Résumé

The adsorption equilibria of pesticides and metabolites (atrazine, deethylatrazine, deisopropylatrazine and simazine) are studied onto activated carbon fibers –ACF– with a broad pore size distribution (32% mesopore volume, 68% micropore volume). Mono-and multi-component isotherms have been determined for low concentrations, from 0.23×10−6 to 9.52×10−6 mol L−1. Single solute isotherms, modeled by Freundlich and Langmuir models, tend to prove the influence of the adsorbate's solubility in the adsorption capacity of activated carbon fibers. Binary solute isotherms confirm the strong influence of pesticide solubility on the competitive adsorption mechanism: the competition is higher in the case of adsorbates of different solubilities (atrazine and DEA or DIA for example). Multicomponent experimental data were modeled by extended Langmuir-based equations and the Ideal Adsorbed Solution theory. Whereas the first ones failed to model accurately binary adsorption due to restrictive hypothesis, the IAS model showed a good agreement between experimental and predicted data. It emphasised also the difficulty in satisfying the hypothesis of the model in the case of highly adsorbed compounds. Finally, the simultaneous adsorption of atrazine and NOM (in a natural water, DOC = 18.2 mg L−1) shows no adsorption competition effects between natural organic matter and atrazine. This is due to the presence of secondary micropores (0.8–2 nm) and mesopores in the ACF, which limit a pore blockage phenomenon by NOM
