Adsorption of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid and Phenoxyacetic Acid on Sibunit

The kinetics of adsorption of the typical herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and phenoxyacetic acid (the product of 2,4-D decay in the natural environment) on the activated carbon Sibunit was studied in an aqueous medium. The porosity and surface structure of the carbon were studied. The orders of 2,4-D and phenoxyacetic acid adsorption were determined. The high adsorption capacity of Sibunit for these substances was found.
