Cover Story: The demand for pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) has increased wastewater from manufacturing facilities due to higher production volumes, stringent cleaning protocols, and facility expansions. This wastewater contains volatile organic compounds, aromatic amines, and sulfa drugs, posing health risks. Activated carbon removes PPCPs due to its high adsorption capacity, eliminating pharmaceuticals without generating toxic by-products. This study investigates the adsorption of pharmaceuticals using granular activated carbon, assessing total organic carbon reduction. By applying various isotherm and kinetic models to multicomponent wastewater under batch conditions, the study reveals adsorption mechanisms and offers practical insights for efficient contaminant removal. View this paper
