Studies concerning the fate of atrazine and chlorpyrifos in a biobased pesticide waste disposal system
A disposal system for pesticide waste was examined for the ability to isolate waste pesticides onto lignocellulosic matrices, such as peat moss (PM) or steam-exploded wood fibers (SEW) by sorption processes, and to detoxify the pesticide during solid state fermentation (SSF) in contained …

Engineering physico-chemical interactions across drug delivery, agriculture and carbon capture
… water repellency of plant surfaces causes pesticide sprays to bounce off, resulting in enormous waste and environmental pollution. In post-combustion carbon capture, absorbing gaseous CO₂ into liquids remains prohibitively expensive as reaction rates are limited by the low interfacial areas …

Evaluating the Hazard of Land Applying Composted Diazinon Waste Using Earthworm Biomonitoring
A process for disposing of pesticide rinsewater generated from the rinsing of application equipment is being developed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. This process involves the sorption of pesticides onto an organic matrix followed by degradation in a composting environment. …
