Adsorption of Lambda Cyhalothrin on to Athi River Sediments: Apparent Thermodynamic Properties
Author(s): Sherrif SS*, Madadi V, Mbugua JK and Kamau GN Sherrif SS*, Madadi V, Mbugua JK and Kamau GN
Lambda-Cyhalothrin is extensively used in agriculture, horticulture, and public health management in Kenya. The pesticide is effective against many vegetable pests, rice and other disease agents. The adsorption of L-Cyhalothrin onto sediments of Athi River was studied using UV-visible and the results were analyzed by fitting data into isotherm models including Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushvich plot to understand the environmental impacts of this pesticide. The models presented different numerical values but the results demonstrated similar characteristics. The study was aimed at determination of adsorption characteristics of L-Cyhalothrin on sediments from Athi River. Different masses of sediments were spiked with different concentrations of L-Cyhalothrin. The mixtures were shaken at varied times to reach equilibrium. The amounts of pesticide adsorbed were determined by analyzing the .. View More»
