Chloramphenicol (Cp), a toxic antibiotic, poses significant risks to human health and aquatic ecosystems when released into the environment. This study investigates the removal of Cp from aqueous solution using copper-functionalized activated carbon derived from Lansium parasiticum trunk (Cu-MFCLT). The adsorbent was synthesized via microwave-assisted CO 2 activation followed by copper(II) nitrate, (Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ) surface modif...

Tetracycline is an antibiotic known to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in soil and water. Often, pharmaceutical companies release unwanted and expired antibiotics, leading to water pollution. This study involved the synthesis of AgI combined with ZnO to form heterostructures by a wet impregnation method to degrade tetracycline molecules. The primary objective is to explore the mechanistic pathways of tetracycline degradat...
