A study of Interaction of soil with Endosulphan as an Insecticide by using FBR

The main objective of this work is the interaction of two different soils with endosulfan as a insecticide by using Fixed Bed column reactor. In this work, soil sample was collected from agriculture field at Papanasam, near Kumbakonam. The present study discussed that the influent and effluent samples were collected periodically were analyzed for endosulphan residues. For each soil, transport-cum-sorption curves were obtained for three different initial concentration of endosulphan 50, 30, and 10 mg/l. The transport, sorption, partitioning with in soil matrix, microbial biodegradation, and other phenomena pertaining to pesticides can be best simulated by column type continuous flow operations through FBR system. On the other hand, few CMBR experiments are also essential to substantiate the results obtained in FBR studies. Hence, both the studies were undertaken to completely understand the transport-cum-sorption of endosulphan in soil medium.
