Adsorption of glyphosate onto activated carbon derived from waste newspaper

This paper investigates the ability of activated carbon derived from waste newspaper (WNAC) to remove pesticide glyphosate from aqueous solution. The influence of initial pH was first studied. It was found that the WNAC presented the highest uptake capacity at pH 2.5. Adsorption isotherm models such...
