Insight into the adsorption properties of a β-cyclodextrin/phillipsite organophilic composite for effective removal of toxic organophosphorus pesticides: kinetic and advanced equilibrium studies

Abstract

β-Cyclodextrin/phillipsite was used in the uptake of three pesticides from water achieving Q sat values of 360 mg g −1 (MPn), 321.6 mg g −1 (OM), and 434.5 mg g −1 (AC). The uptake energies suggested endothermic physisorption reactions.
