Abstract: | The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the mechanism which governs the adsorption of the pesticide onto electro-granular activated carbon (GAC). The operating conditions assessed are: electrical potential, electro-activation time, the initial metribuzin—electro- activated GAC concentration ratio (R = Cp/CGAC). In the first step, it has been confirmed using an experimental design that the C/C0 ratio is much more affected by the electrochemical potential application than by R ratio. The mathematical model indicates that the electrochemical potential has a significant effect during the metribuzin adsorption during the first half an hour on GAC and thereby demonstrates the electroactivation beneficial effect. In the second step, a mass transfer model has been applied in order to evaluate the effect of the electro-activation of GAC on the kinetic constant. Indeed, the results showed that the electro- activation accelerates the process with kinetic constants 2–3 times higher than those obtained without the electro-activation of GAC. |
