Influencing Factors for Micro-Grain Activated Carbon's Removal of Pharmaceuticals from Water

Robert Olmos

The presence of pharmaceutical residues in water bodies has raised environmental and public health concerns. Micro-grain activated carbon (μGAC) has emerged as a promising adsorbent for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water. This article provides a comprehensive review of the influencing factors on the adsorption process of pharmaceuticals using μGAC. It explores the characteristics of μGAC, properties of pharmaceutical compounds, water quality parameters, and environmental conditions that play pivotal roles in the adsorption efficiency [1]. Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing the application of μGAC in water treatment processes. Further research and targeted studies are essential to refine the use of μGAC in addressing the challenges posed by pharmaceutical contaminants in water systems.
