- Removal of emerging pollutants from aqueous matricesPublication . Popov, Nikolay; Queiroz, Ana; Ribeiro, António E.; Brito, Paulo; Tsoy, IrinaWater pollution is a growing problem and causes rising concern among researchers. As a result of increased consumption of pharmaceuticals and, as a consequence, the growth of the pharmaceutical industry, the pollution of substances harmful to human health in water matrices is gradually increasing every year. The lack of satisfactory methods for wastewater treatment from emerging pollutants exacerbates the situation. That is why many researchers have directed their efforts to the study of the removal processes and the development of new water treatment methods. Of considerable interest is the possibility of using organic waste to prepare an effective adsorbent and its use in the removal of pharmaceuticals. In this work some knowledge of recent years studies is gathered together on purpose to study preparation and application of organic wastes based activated carbon for removal pharmaceutical compounds from aqueous matrices. Methods of adsorbent preparation and adsorption providing are described. Factors influencing adsorption efficiency were also analyzed.
