Abstract:
Pesticides are considered as an inevitable input in sustainable food production as they play a crucial role in the maximization of agricultural productivity. Despite their useful role in modern farming, the indiscriminate and widespread uses of pesticides possess a serious threat to the environment. Around 90% of the applied pesticides are lost in the different environmental compartments, either directly through intentional use (such as agronomic practices) or unintentionally (e.g. spray drift, leaching, surface runoff, etc.). For sustainable environmental pollution mitigation, it is necessary to alleviate the ecosystem from unwanted pesticide residues. Adsorption has been demonstrated as a productive, economically feasible, yet, facile method for removing organic contaminants from different matrices. One of the innovative technologies for eliminating a wide spectrum of pesticide molecules from soil and water is the use of low-cost adsorbents. Talking about such sorbents, porous carbonaceous materials such as graphene and graphene oxides, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, biochar, etc. possess unique physical and chemical properties, as well as diverse electrical and mechanical characteristics which render them useful for potential application in remediation processes. Enhanced contaminant removal efficiency can be achieved by the use of these materials owing to their high surface area, significant pore volume, diverse surface chemistry with immense modification potential, and high conductivity. Adsorption of pesticide molecules on porous carbon materials is a complex process that depends upon various factors including not only the physicochemical properties of the sorbents and the adsorbates but the overall solution chemistry is also involved in the phenomena, as well. Therefore, a spotlight in the form of this chapter has been shown upon the role of the physicochemical nature of porous carbonaceous materials, used as adsorbents of pesticide residues, the mechanistic perspectives and removal efficiencies from different environmental matrices have been summarized.
