Application of biowaste generated by the production chain of pitaya fruit (Hylocereus undatus) as an efficient adsorbent for removal of naproxen in water

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compounds are a serious problem in the environment. They cause damage to the aquatic, animal, and human organisms and soon became considered emerging pollutants where their removal is extremely urgent. Among the techniques used, adsorption has been used with success, where several adsorbent materials, including those from residual biomass, have been used to remove these pollutants. In this study, the skins of the pitaya fruit (Hylocereus undatus) productive chain were carbonized with ZnCl2 to ob… Show more

“…For the proper calculation of the amounts of the compounds removed from the effluents, the UV-Vis absorption spectra before and after the adsorption process were recorded at wavelengths varying from 190 to 800 nm (see Figure 9 ). The overall contaminant removal percentage was calculated, using methods that have been described elsewhere [ 45 , 46 , 47 ], by integrating the area under the absorption spectrum.…”
