The goal of this work was to characterise the bleaching of oils by examining the type of adsorptive processes that occur during the bleaching of vegetable oils using clays. According to the existing evidence, acid-leached clays had sites for adsorption of contaminants in oils. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms for residual contaminants in cotton and…

Chlorpyrifos pesticides are endocrine disruptors, inhibitors of acetyl cholinesterase, used to control pests and prime contributors to indoor pollution in retail stores. Seven selected locally sourced adsorbents; Bone charcoal (BCA), corncobs, cotton seed, kokoli, sawdust, coconut shell (CSA) and Muruchi were evaluated. Only BCA and CSA shows peaks and were further examined at adsorptive temperatures…
