removal of lindane (γ ̶ hch) by using natural zeolite in industrial wastewater
Lindane (γ–HCH) is an organochlorine insecticide that has been widely used in developing countries. It is known to persist in the environment and can cause serious health problems. One of the strategies adopted to remove lindane from the environment is remediation using adsorption technique. Zeolite has been used for the removal of lindane from an aqueous solution in batch sorption technique. The present Thomsonite zeolite is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX.
