Enhanced adsorptive removal of sulfamethoxazole from water using biochar derived from hydrothermal carbonization of sugarcane bagasse

Removal of ibuprofen from aqueous media by adsorption: A comprehensive review.

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) as emerging contaminants have accumulated in the aquatic environment at concentration levels that have been determined to be significant to humans and animals. Several compounds belong to this family, from natural substances (hormones such as estrone, 17-estradiol, and estriol) to synthetic chemicals, especially pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and plastic-derived compounds (phthalates, bisphenol A). In this review, we discuss recent works regarding EDC occurrence in the aquatic compartment, strengths and limitations of current analytical methods used for their detection, treatment technologies for their removal from water, and the health issues that they can trigger in humans. Nowadays, many EDCs have been identified in significant amounts in different water matrices including drinking water, thus increasing the possibility of entering the food chain. Several studies correlate human exposure to high concentrations of EDCs with serious effects such as infertility, thyroid dysfunction, early puberty, endometriosis, diabetes, and obesity. Although our intention is not to explain all disorders related to EDCs exposure, this review aims to guide future research towards a deeper knowledge of EDCs’ contamination and accumulation in water, highlighting their toxicity and exposure risks to humans.

This study investigates the sorption of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen, (IBP) using acid activated carbon prepared from orange peel (OPA) OPA was characterized via the use of Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy techniques Four isotherm models were utilized to assess the adsorption data: Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Raduskevich, respectively It was established that the IBP adsorption onto OPA fitted Langmuir isotherm model most The optimum monolayer adsorption capacity of OPA was 4930 mg/g at 50 °C The adsorption data was subjected to kinetic test using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion models The sorption process was best described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model The mean heat of adsorption, Ea at all temperatures studied was < 800 kJmol−1, signifying that the sorption mechanism is physisorption Thermodynamic study reveals that the adsorption is spontaneous and exothermic OPA was established to be a viable and effective adsorbent for the sorption of IBP from aqueous medium
