  Abstract: The vast application of pesticides for agricultural purpose to enhance adequate plant growth is quite alarming, with its negative environmental influence increasing every day. The current study investigates the potential of iron pillared bentonite (Fe/Bt) for effective removal of three different widely applicable pesticides (Glyphosate, Bentazon and Diazinon) in aqueous solution. This adsorbent has been characterized ab initio by FT-IR spectroscopy. Adsorption parameters such as contact time, initial pesticide concentration …
