Assessment of spent mushroom substrate as sorbent of fungicides: influence of sorbent and sorbate properties.

چکیده
The capacity of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) as a sorbent of fungicides was evaluated for its possible use in regulating pesticide mobility in the environment. The sorption studies involved four different SMS types in terms of nature and treatment and eight fungicides selected as representative compounds from different chemical groups. Nonlinear sorption isotherms were observed for all SMS-fungicide combinations. The highest sorption was obtained by composted SMS from Agaricus bisporus cultivation. A significant negative and positive correlation was obtained between the K(OC) sorption constants and the polarity index values of sorbents and the K(OW) of fungicides, respectively. The statistic revealed that more than 77% of the variability in the K(OW) could be explained considering these properties jointly. The other properties of both the sorbent (total carbon, dissolved organic carbon, or pH) and the sorbate (water solubility) were nonsignificant. The hysteresis values for cyprodinil (log K(OW)= 4) were for all the sorbents much higher (>3) than for other fungicides. This was consistent with the remaining sorption after desorption considered as an indicator of the sorption efficiency of SMS for fungicides. Changes in the absorption bands of fungicides sorbed by SMS observed by FTIR permitted establishing the interaction mechanism of fungicides with SMS. The findings of this work provide evidence for the potential capacity of SMS as a sorbent of fungicides and the low desorption observed especially for some fungicides, although they suggest that more stabilized or humified organic substrates should be produced to enhance their efficiency in environmental applications.

Role of Surface Precipitation in Copper Sorption by the Hydrous Oxides of Iron and Aluminum.
Isotherms were developed at pH 6.9 for adsorption (ADS) and coprecipitation (CPT) of Cu by hydrous oxides of Fe (HFO) and Al (HAO) to study the role of sorbate/sorbent ratio in metal cation removal. For low sorbate/sorbent conditions, HFO had a higher Cu retention capacity than HAO regardless of contact methodology. For either oxide, CPT was consistently more effective than ADS in removing Cu f...

The case of a sorption process considered here involves a solid phase (sorbent) and a liquid phase (solvent, normally water) containing a dissolved species to be sorbed (sorbate, e.g. metal ions). Due to the higher ‘affinity’ of the sorbent for the sorbate species the latter is attracted into the solid and bound there by different mechanisms. This process takes place until an equilibrium is est...
متن کاملStudy of the Structure of Wood-related Biopolymers by Sorption Methods
The potentialities of different vapour sorption methods are analized for the investigation of the microstructure of wood sorbents (wood, cellulose and lignin) as a particular case of biopolymers. There are two important distinctions in the sorption behaviour of biopolymers from traditional rigid sorbents, namely, the dependence of the characteristics of the porous structure on the thermodynamic...
