Resumo
The 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D) is one of herbicides most consumed in Brazil and is preferably used due to its good selectivity and low cost. It has high toxicity and low biodegradability, posing a risk to human health and the environment and can be found in soil, surface water and groundwater. Studies show that conventional water treatment has low effectiveness in removing microcontaminants, various techniques have been used in the removal of water in compounds, such as adsorption by activated carbon. The activated carbon adsorption has been shown as an effective technology for the removal of various contaminants, including pesticides. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate 2,4-D adsorption of three activated carbons (PAC) in ultrapure water and raw water from the Rio Santa Maria da Vitória. The quantification of the herbicide was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography after concentration of the sample by extraction in solid phase. The adsorption experiments were performed with activated carbon derived from coconut shell (PAC-01), pine (PAC-02), coffee straw (PAC-03) which were characterized and evaluated on its removal capacity of 2,4-D the two matrices of water. Two models of adsorption isotherm, Langmuir and Freundlich, were applied to describe the adsorption data, that indicated the PAC-02 as the coal that had the best 2,4-D adsorption capacity among the studied coals, both in water ultrapure as in raw water. When tested in the raw water, there was reduced 2,4-D adsorption for the three samples from PAC compared to tests performed in ultrapure water, indicating interfering compounds, such as organic matter, on the adsorption process.
