Description
Summary:This work describes the adsorption process of one of the most dominant pharmaceuticals detected in water sources, carbamazepine (CBZ), from aqueous solutions with commercially available activated carbon (AC). Adsorption studies were performed on powdered activated carbon Norit SA2, in ambient temperature, on pH value between 2 – 10, with different masses of adsorbent (6 – 20 mg), time intervals (5 – 60 min). The CBZ adsorption is explained by chemisorption which involves chemical reaction between surface and adsorbate. The results show that commercial activated carbon Norit SA2 can be applied in the process of adsorption for the purpose of removing carbamazepine from aqueous solution.
