The removal of simazine from both pure water and solute-bearing well water was studied by adsorption on two solids: zeolite H-Y from the commercial Na form and porous silica tailored by the sol–gel technique. The pH dependence of the amount adsorbed in a closed system at constant total simazine content as well as the apparent isotherms of adsorption was measured in all four cases. The low ion content of natural water suffices to alter the adsorption features in the case of silica, but not with zeolite H-Y. Iteration of the adsorption process onto constant amounts of solid allowed bringing the residual simazine concentration below 0.05 mg/L, the value allowed by Italian laws in wastewaters.
