Pollution of surface water and groundwater by bulky molecules such as pesticides has been recognized as a major problem in many countries due to their persistence in aquatic environment and potential adverse health effects. The main purpose of this study is the development of a capable adsorbent to remove these bulky molecules from wastewater such as the pesticide Mesosulfuron-Methyl (MM) by reducing the diffusion path, to overcome the problems of diffusional limitations on microporous adsorbents.
