Abstract
This study presents a systematic review of research focused on the removal of malathion from aqueous solutions. Malathion, recognized as a highly toxic pesticide and a strong inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, is the central subject of this investigation. This review was conducted through comprehensive searches in reputable databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science, with data collection extending until May 2024. A variety of parameters were meticulously evaluated, including the type of catalyst and adsorbent, catalyst size, optimal pH, initial malathion concentration, optimal catalyst concentration, optimal contact time, type of irradiation, removal efficiency, adsorbent dosage, maximum adsorption capacity, and optimal temperature. Out of an initial pool of 630 articles, 74 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were selected for detailed analysis. The results show that malathion removal efficiencies reported in these studies were generally above 70 %, with some studies achieving up to 100 % removal. This systematic review highlights the significant roles that physical, chemical, and biological processes play in the effective removal of malathion from aqueous environments.
本研究提出了一个系统的研究综述,重点是从水溶液中去除马拉硫磷。马拉硫磷被认为是一种剧毒农药和乙酰胆碱酯酶的强抑制剂,是本研究的中心课题。本综述通过对Scopus、PubMed、Science Direct和Web of Science等知名数据库的综合检索进行,数据收集时间延长至2024年5月。对各种参数进行了细致的评估,包括催化剂和吸附剂的类型、催化剂尺寸、最佳pH值、马拉硫磷初始浓度、最佳催化剂浓度、最佳接触时间、照射类型、去除效率、吸附剂用量、最大吸附量和最佳温度。在最初的630篇文章中,74篇研究符合纳入和排除标准,并被选中进行详细分析。结果表明,这些研究报告的马拉硫磷去除率一般在70%以上,有些研究甚至达到100%。本系统综述强调了物理、化学和生物过程在有效去除水中环境中的马拉硫磷中所起的重要作用。
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth is an international interdisciplinary journal for the rapid publication of collections of refereed communications in separate thematic issues, either stemming from scientific meetings, or, especially compiled for the occasion. There is no restriction on the length of articles published in the journal. Physics and Chemistry of the Earth incorporates the separate Parts A, B and C which existed until the end of 2001.
Please note: the Editors are unable to consider submissions that are not invited or linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers.
The journal covers the following subject areas:
-Solid Earth and Geodesy:
(geology, geochemistry, tectonophysics, seismology, volcanology, palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism, electromagnetism and potential fields, marine and environmental geosciences as well as geodesy).
-Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere:
(hydrology and water resources research, engineering and management, oceanography and oceanic chemistry, shelf, sea, lake and river sciences, meteorology and atmospheric sciences incl. chemistry as well as climatology and glaciology).
-Solar-Terrestrial and Planetary Science:
(solar, heliospheric and solar-planetary sciences, geology, geophysics and atmospheric sciences of planets, satellites and small bodies as well as cosmochemistry and exobiology).
