Effects of Zeolite X on Dissipation of Hexazinone from Agricultural Waste Waters in Western Kenya
(2013-10)
Dissipation of hexazinone in Zeolite X treated
wastewater followed pseudo first-order kinetics giving
a calculated half-life of 41 days compared to a half-life
of 144 days in untreated wastewater. The herbicide
degraded ...
