Amoxicillin adsorption on microwave prepared activated carbon from Arundo donax Linn: Isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics studies

Kinetics and Modelling of Drug Adsorption using Activated Carbon Derived from Cocoa Cob Waste

“…(diameter <2nm), mesopore (2-50 nm) and macropore (>50 nm) author Chayid and Ahmed [22] found in the SEM analysis of the K 2 CO 3 impregnated cane that its surface is dense, flat, constrained and blocked by the substance of the deposited tray, however the microwave irradiation sample showed a well developed and uniform surface, forming an orderly pore structure. In addition, previous studies assumed that KOH was reduced to metallic potassium during the carbonization process and the metallic potassium K formed during the gasification process would diffuse into the internal structure of the carbon matrix, widening existing pores and creating new porosities [23].…”

Role of [FeOx(OH)y] surface sites on the adsorption of β-lactamic antibiotics on Al2O3 supported Fe oxide

“…Different materials have been utilized for amoxicillin adsorption, such as activated carbons prepared by several routes, e.g. biomass KOH/microwave activated (KAC) [38][39][40], magnetic carbon nanoparticles (MNPs PAC) [41], physical activation of a lignocellulosic precursor (OP), NH 4 Cl activated carbon (NAC). It is interesting to compare the adsorption capacity of these different adsorbents normalized by surface area.…”

“…All the high surface area carbons, KAC (microwave prepared activated carbon, 1065 m 2 g −1 [38]), OP (activated carbon modified by oxidation 1106 m 2 g −1 [39]), and NAC (NH 4 Cl activated carbon 1029 m 2 g −1 [40]), and also MNPs PAC (magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @C nanoparticles 671 m 2 g −1 [41]), showed surface adsorption capacities near 0.12-0.22 mg AMX m −2 . On the other hand, the composite 150Fe50A presented the highest adsorption capacity, i.e.…”

Abatement of Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, and Chloramphenicol From Aqueous Solutions Using Activated Carbon Prepared From Grape Slurry

“…Physicochemical technology such as adsorption offers a potentially cheaper and environment‐friendly alternative for removal of organic contaminants in water. Adsorption has been reported to be an effective technique for the removal of various organic pollutants from contaminated water . This method is simple in design, easy in operation, flexible, efficient, with capability of removing a wide range of pollutants .…”
