During recent years, the pharmaceutical compounds have been considered as an emerging
water micro-pollutant, due to their potential eco-toxicity. Among the various treatment …

Antibiotics and pharmaceuticals related products are used to enhance public health and
quality of life. The wastewater that is produced from pharmaceutical industries still contains …

Tetracycline (TC) adsorption capacity on pristine biochar was limited. Biochar modification
can greatly improve its adsorption amount. In this study, rice straw was mixed with FeCl 3 …

The coexistence of pharmaceuticals and heavy metals is regarded as a serious threat to
aquatic environments. Adsorbents have been widely applied to the simultaneous removal of …

Biomass-derived activated carbons (biochars) have attracted great attention due to their
excellent physicochemical properties such as high specific area, large pore volume, well …

In the present study, glutaraldehyde was used as a hydrophobic modifier to crosslink
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and copper ion was immobilized by sodium alginate (SA). Polyvinyl …

The adsorption behaviors of Cu (II) and tetracycline (TC) on polyethylene microplastics that
were exposed to air (A-PE-MPs), water (W-PE-MPs) and soil (S-PE-MPs) environments for a …

Tetracycline (TC), a frequently used drug for human and veterinary therapeutics, is among
the most common antibiotic residues found in nature. Lack of advanced treatment …

Municipal sewage sludge (MS)-derived biochar shows low-cost superiority as a potential
adsorbent in organic contaminants removal, but limited by its poor adsorption capacity and …

In this study, two different kinds of pharmaceutical sludge activated by NaOH were used to
prepare biochar. The characteristics of biochar prepared by impregnation method and dry …
