Abstract

The water hyacinth biomass was used for the synthesis of activated carbons in a process of chemical activation with ZnCl2, followed by controlled pyrolysis. The applied impregnation weight ratios ZnCl2 and dry hyacinth bio­mass were in the range of 0.5–3.5. The carbonization was conducted at four different temperatures (400–700 °C) under an inert atmosphere. The highest yield of activated carbon was obtained for the impregnation ratio of 0.5 and carbon­ization temperature of 400 °C. The samples were characterized using elemental analysis, adsorption–desorption isotherms of nitrogen and SEM ana­lysis. The activated carbon obtained with an impregnation ratio 2.0 and carbon­ization temperature of 500 °C (2.0AC500) showed the highest values of specific surface area and total pore volume of 1317 m2 g-1 and 0.697 cm3 g-1, respect­ively. The adsorption of glyphosate, pesticide with a strong negative environ­mental impact, was a fast process, with the equilibrium time of 120 min. The adsorption iso­therms were fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich model. The Langmuir ads­orption capacity of qmax = 240.8 mg g-1 for 2.0AC500 classified the selected adsorbent as a very efficient one. The tested adsorption process fol­lowed the kinetics of the pseudo-second-order model.
