Aluminosilicate (zeolites) were prepared from wheat straws. Physicochemical properties of zeolites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) along with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The examinations showed that the synthesized product was crystalline in nature and size obtain was 5µm. Adsorption characteristics of the pesticide deltamethrin was studied in aqueous solution through Ultra Fine Liquid Chromatography (UFLC). The adsorption results show that the modified zeolite was better as compare to unmodified zeolites.

The examinations showed that the synthesized product was crystalline in nature and size obtain was 5µm. Adsorption characteristics of the pesticide deltamethrin was studied in aqueous solution through Ultra Fine Liquid Chromatography (UFLC). The adsorption results show that the modified zeolite was better as compare to unmodified zeolites.
