REMOVAL OF PARACETAMOL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY ADSORPTION ONTO CARBON MATERIAL OBTAINED FROM NECTARINE KERNEL

Removal of paracetamol from aqueous solution onto carbon material obtained from nectarine kernel by the original technology was studied in this work. Process performance was observed by varying the experimental features, such as retention time, particle size, adsorbent dose, solution pH, and concentration. Adsorption dynamics were studied employing Langmuir isotherms and Freundlich isotherms. The results showed that the adsorption of paracetamol on the sorbent developed by us was explained by isothermal dynamics. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was found to be 24.65 mg/g (S% - 98.6). The study results proved that the obtained carbon material is an efficient, cheap sorbent that can be used for efficient removal of paracetamol from aqueous systems.
