Alteration of Tecoma chip wood waste into microwave-irradiated activated carbon for amoxicillin removal: Optimization and batch studies

Amoxicillin (AMOX) in wastewater can promote antibiotic resistance in bacteria and affecting aquatic ecosystems, due to inadequate removal by conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study aimed to (i) optimizing Tecoma chip wood based activated carbon (TCAC) to adsorb amoxicillin (AMOX) using...
