Nitrobenzene has a high toxicity to warm-blooded animals and humans. It has been considered as very toxic compound for environment. In this paper it is been describe the possibility of detoxification of nitrobenzene through adsorption on zeolite. It is proposed to use of natural zeolite - clinoptilolite as a sorbent, which was saturated by quaternary ammonium salt. The activity of nitrobenzene removal from wastewater is shown on zeolite surface immobilized QUAT - N, N-dimethtyl-N-hexadecyl-N-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium bromide. The adsorption processes was investigated by calibration curve of UV spectrum of nitrobenzene in different concentration of water.
Keywords: detoxification, nitrobenzene, quaternary ammonium salt (QUAT), immobilization, removal, wastewater, toxicity, freundlich adsorption isotherm
