ABSTRACT
The purification of waters derived from groundwaters polluted by herbicides (e.g., atrazine, simazine, bentazone, etc.) can be attained in different ways, usually based on the following units:
adsorption on activated carbon [mainly granular activated carbon (GAC) for groundwater];
oxidation (mainly ozonation, alone or combined with hydrogen peroxide, UV rays or others);
membrane treatments (reverse osmosis or others).
