Resumo

Application of different types of synthetic zeolites as potential adsorbents for the efficient atrazine renoval has been evaluated in this study. Also, atrazine degradation with combination of adsorption and advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs), Fenton and UV/Fenton, has been taken into the consideration. Preliminary results have shown significant efficiency of studied processes. Regarding adsorption experiments, it has been found that residual atrazine concentration was in the range from 40 to 55 % of initial atrazine concentration, depending on type of zeolite. Applied AOTs
resulted in complete removal of atrazine from model wastewater and significant decrease in total organic carbon (TOC) value, so they can be used as polishing step after the treatment by adsorption.
