| Abstract: | This study presents activated carbon from
sugarcane bagasse (SB) as adsorbent of drugs (Levofloxacin, Hydrochlorothiazide
and Paracetamol). Effect of different variables (contact time, initial drug
concentration and dose of adsorbent) was studied at acidic pH. SB was
characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Chemical treatments
resulted in pore formation within SB sample while surfaces of untreated SB
sample were without pores. Maximum adsorption (37%) of drugs from solution was
in1-3 h. Adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm model. |
