    Abstract: This work includes the study of the ability of pomegranate peel as adsorbent for two kinds of pesticides (Lambda cyhalothrin and Diazinon) from their aqueous solutions. The equilibrium contact time for the samples was determined. The effect of some factors on the adsorption process which was represented by the effect of acidity function was also st... Show More
