According to the work performed in the agricultural region in Nova Friburgo, RJ; it was determined that the Paraquat Pesticide is highly used. There have investigated the adsorption process with activated carbon and vegetal charcoal for pesticide treatment in aqueous solution, this will an alternative for the wastewater treatment in this region. The experimental study was conducted for a vegetal charcoal and two kinds of porous carbonaceous materials. The first of those was a charcoal made of Eucalyptus spp. wood shavings (carbon A). The second was Brazilian activated carbon (carbon B) made of coconut shell. The third material was an American coconut shell activated carbon (carbon C). The Brazilian activated carbon was further submitted to chemical modification treatment procedure with HNO3 (carbon B1). The tests of adsorption were preceded by study of characterization of the used carbons, through techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), for its morphologic characterization. The nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K, obtained data of micropore volume, superficial area and poro size distribution. Besides, the FT-IR spectroscopy detected the surfaces functional groups and the Zeta Potential Zeta determinate of the isoelectric point for each carbon. The main parameters influencing adsorption treatment process, pH and equilibrium time have been examined. There have been experimentally made adsorption isotherms for the four types of carbons, which for the carbons (B, B1 and C) adjust to the Freundlich isotherm model. The uptakes capacities information of carbons was originated by these isotherms. The pseudo-first order model and pseudo-second order model was used for evaluated the kinetic data experimental in this process. Finally, the preliminary tests in column had given a vision about of the continue adsorption and the breakthrough curve formation.
