The increasing release of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) into water
poses serious threats to human beings. In this study, a novel core-shell activated carbon …

A series of activated carbons with surface areas of 925–1929 m2 g− 1 were synthesized by
in situ hydrothermal impregnation of sucrose with H3PO4 and subsequent calcination at 500 …

Sulfonamide antibiotics are widely detected in soil, surface water, sediments and drinking
water due to their stable nature, which has huge potential risks. In this study, we reclaimed …

A zeolite beta-templated carbon (BTC) and its N-doped form (nBTC) were prepared and
used for the adsorptive removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) antibiotic from water. Both …

Antibiotic resistance genes represent treatment challenges for wastewater treatment
systems. These resistance genes are a direct outcome of insufficient treatment of …

In this study, four different adsorbent materials: commercial powdered activated carbon
(PAC) from pine tree (PAC-I) and coconut shell (PAC-III) agricultural crop wastes, coal (PAC …

Different biomass materials (walnut shell, coconut shell or cottonwood sawdust) were co-
pyrolyzed with carbon-enriched oily sludge to produce aqueous phase sulfamethoxazole …

Activated carbon (AC) was modified by FeCl3. Batch experiments were carried out to
evaluate the characteristics of equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics of Sulfamethazine …

The highly-efficient and low-cost activated carbon (BAC-600) derived from the bagasse was
prepared through one-step carbonization-activation method and used for the removal of …

A novel adsorbent of sludge biochar (SBC) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT)
composite was synthesized (CNT-SBC) to remove low concentrations of sulfamethoxazole …
