Adsorption of Pharmaceutical Contaminants from a Real Hospital Effluent Using Acai Biomass-Derived Biochar Modified via Magnetron Sputtering

Abstract A novel aluminum-coated biochar derived from açaí waste was successfully engineered via physical vapor deposition (magnetron sputtering) to remove the emerging pharmaceutical contaminants clorazepate (Clz) and diclofenac (Dic) from synthetic and real aqueous systems. A...

Steam-activated/H 3 PO 4 functionalized biochars from grape wastes for drug adsorption

Grape waste was used to produce steam-activated biochars functionalized with H3PO4 (BAP-CWR) for drug uptake from aqueous media. The BAP-CWR exhibited favorable adsorption properties, enabling distinct interactions with diclofenac potassium (DCF) and ivermectin (IVM). The experim...
