Nano-Size Biomass Derived from Pomegranate Peel for Enhanced Removal of Cefixime Antibiotic from Aqueous Media: Kinetic, Equilibrium and Thermodynamic Study

Nano-Size Biomass Derived from Pomegranate Peel for Enhanced Removal of Cefixime Antibiotic from Aqueous Media: Kinetic, Equilibrium and Thermodynamic Study

<b>: </b>Nano-sized activated carbon was prepared from pomegranate peel (PG-AC) via NaOH chemical activation and was fully characterized using BET, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, and XRD. The newly synthesized PG-AC was used for cefixime removal from the aqueous phase. The effective parameters on t...
