Bamboo sawdust-derived high surface area activated carbon for remarkable removal of paracetamol from aqueous solution: sorption kinetics, isotherm, thermodynamics, and regeneration studies

Due to its widespread consumption, paracetamol (PCT) has emerged as one of the leading contaminants that pollute water. Herein, a PCT removal of 99.6% was achieved using chemically activated carbon (CAC), derived from bamboo sawdust using KOH/FeCl3 as an activating agent, at optimal conditions of PC...
