Adsorptive removal of organochloride pesticide in water using surfactant modified aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles

In the present study, an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used to modify aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles to form a novel adsorbent (SMAH) for removal of an organochloride pesticide, Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in water environment.
