abstract = "Organophosphate pesticides are primarily used in agriculture despite their high
neurotoxicity to humans and the environment. Malathion is used in agriculture as a means
of controlling the development of pests, but also in the protection of public health, to
control mosquitoes and lice. However, this organophosphate compound is hazardous to
human health. We used wood-waste-derived activated porous carbon material as an
adsorbent for malathion removal from water. The kinetics of the malathion adsorption
process on investigated carbon material at different temperatures was studied. The results
showed that the experimental data are a good fit with the pseudo-second-order model.
The calculated rate constants were 0.009 and 0.007 g mg−1 min−1
at 20 and 40 °C,
respectively. The equilibrium was reached after 60 minutes at both investigated
temperatures. It was shown that 1 g of the studied material could adsorb up to 186.22 mg
of malathion at 20 °C.",
