Description

The efficiency of synthesized polyaniline (PANi) with the presence of coir in sulfuric acid medium and ammonium persulfate as oxidizing agent varies from 83.20 to 92.00 %. The obtained polyaniline/coir material was used for adsorption of dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) - a pesticide which has been used and still causing serious pollution problems. The adsorbent efficiency is 77.00 % corresponding to adsorptive capacity 47.65 mg/g at room temperature. (author)
