Adsorbents and removal strategies of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from contaminated water bodies
Nomchenge Yamkelani Mlunguza,Somandla Ncube,P. N. Mahlambi,Luke Chimuka,Lawrence Mzukisi Madikizela +4 more
TL;DR: The applicability of each adsorbent in removing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from environmental surface water are deliberated in this review as mentioned in this paper, and it is observed that many adsorbents and processes are yet to be investigated for removal of NSAIDs in the large scale such as wastewater treatment plants.
