Abstract :Pesticides are an integral part of modern agriculture in most countries as a tool for controlling pests. In the last few decades, increasing use of pesticides is polluting environment and water resources day by day. Adsorption is one of the most used method for removal of these pollutions due to the simple ease of processing, low cost and effective even in very low concentrations. Active carbon is very efficient adsorbent for removing pesticides from aqueous solutions thanks to its high surface area and porosity. However, the high cost of active carbon can be sometimes restricted for several purposes. In recent years, research on the production of low cost adsorbents alternative to commercially available activated carbon has increased. Therefore, in this work, peanut shells were used as an adsorbent for removing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2,4-D); from aqueous solutions. The adsorption performance was studied depending on initial concentrations of 2,4-D solutions.
