Environmental Remediation of Metribuzin Herbicide by Mesoporous Carbon—Rich from Wheat Straw

Contemporary farming practices and rapid industrialization over the last few decades, have raised significant soil water pollution with extreme toxic effects to humans ecosystems. The widespread inefficient use of pesticides, which surpass soil’s self purification capability, has accelerated pollution. In this study, wheat straw biochar was obtained using traditional pyrolysis technique its characterization; in addition, adsorption efficiency metribuzin investigated. Biochars’ physical chemical characteristics were qualified scanning electron microscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A batch sorption test liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry also used assess efficiency. SEM FTIR confirmed highly reactive surfaces biochar, establishing efficient biomass conversion low-oxygen conditions. process showed best fit pseudo second-order kinetic Langmuir models, suggesting a chemisorption procedure monolayer-type removal. Regarding environmental agricultural application, can be advanced as recommendation solution for further research, is fundamental rehabilitation immobilization contaminations.
