Investigation into the influencing factors and adsorption characteristics in the removal of sulfonamide antibiotics by carbonaceous materials

Due to the extensive application of sulfonamide antibiotics for disease control on humans and livestock, the discharge of their residuals has caused serious pollution to the water environment. To mitigate this pollution, various types of carbonaceous materials have been used as adsorbents to remove antibiotics from water. In this study, adsorption characteristics of three sulfonamide antibiotics on four carbonaceous materials under complex …
