description | Pharmaceutical pollution has pervaded many water resources all over the globe. The propagation of this health threat drew the researchers’ concern in seeking an efficient solution. This study introduced toilet paper waste as a precursor for carbon nanoparticles (CRNPs). The TEM results showed a particle size range of 30.2 nm to 48.1 nm, the BET surface area was 283 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup>, and the XRD pattern indicated cubical-graphite crystals. The synthesized CRNPs were tested for removing tigecycline (TGCN), chlortetracycline (CTCN), oxytetracycline (OTCN), and doxycycline (DXCN) via the batch process. The adsorption equilibrium time for TGCN, DXCN, CTCN, and OTCN was 60 min, and the concentration influence revealed an adsorption capacity of 172.5, 200.1, 202.4, and 200.0 mg g<sup>−1,</sup> respectively. The sorption of the four drugs followed the PSFO, and the LFDM models indicated their high sorption affinity to the CRNPs. The adsorption of the four drugs fitted the multilayer FIM that supported the high-affinity claim. The removals of the four drugs were exothermic and spontaneous physisorption. The fabricated CRNPs possessed an excellent remediation efficiency for contaminated SW and GW; therefore, CRNPs are suggested for water remediation as low-cost sorbent. |
