Removal of the antibiotic metronidazole by adsorption on various carbon materials from aqueous phase

Application of a new sandwich of granular activated and fiber carbon as cathode in the electrochemical advanced oxidation treatment of pharmaceutical effluents

“…It is well-known that granular activated carbon has adsorption properties such as a large porous volume, and a vast surface area [21,22]. Furthermore, according to Lücking et al [23], H 2 O 2 in presence of activated carbon was able to oxidize 4-chlorophenol.…”

Excellent performance of copper based metal organic framework in adsorptive removal of toxic sulfonamide antibiotics from wastewater

“…The efficiency of adsorption process is highly affected by the type of adsorbate, adsorbent, and operating conditions. Several adsorbents have been reported for the adsorption of antibiotics, e.g., multiwall carbon nanotubes, activated carbons, zeolites, clay, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) [2,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

3D assembly based on 2D structure of Cellulose Nanofibril/Graphene Oxide Hybrid Aerogel for Adsorptive Removal of Antibiotics in Water

“…Among these various methods, adsorption is a superior and widely used method owing to its accessibility, environmentally benign and high efficiency. In fact, a number of (chemical or physical) sorbent materials, including activated carbons1213, multiwalled carbon nanotubes1415, activated sludge16, bamboo charcoal17, and graphene oxide18, have been applied for eliminating antibiotics from aqueous solutions. However, suffered from low removal capacities, difficult separation, the secondary environmental pollution and unsatisfactory recycling ability, it has been greatly hampered for these adsorbents in practical applications.…”
