Hassan Karimi-Maleh,Hassan Karimi-Maleh,Ali Ayati,Reza Davoodi,Bahareh Tanhaei,Fatemeh Karimi,Samira Malekmohammadi,Yasin Orooji,Li Fu,Mika Sillanpää,Mika Sillanpää +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of chitosan-based materials for the removal of pharmaceutical compounds is presented. But, the results of the review are limited to three categories: antibiotics (tetracycline, amoxicillin, etc.), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (diclofenac, ibuprofen, etc.) and other pharmaceutical compounds.
