Abstract

The adsorption of paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen and naproxen) on ordered mesoporous carbons (OMC) and, for comparison, on commercial activated carbon, were investigated in this work. OMC adsorbents were obtained by the soft-templating method and were characterized by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of contact time and initial concentration of organic adsorbates on the adsorption were studied. The contact time to reach equilibrium for maximum adsorption was 360 min for all the studied adsorbates. The adsorption mechanism was found to fit pseudo-second-order and intra particle-diffusion models. Freundlich, Langmuir and Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm models were used to analyze equilibrium adsorption data. Based on the obtained experimental data, the adsorption isotherm in the applied concentration range for all the studied adsorbates was well represented by the Freundlich-Langmuir model. The adsorption ability of ordered mesoporous carbon materials was much higher for paracetamol and naproxen in comparison to commercial activated carbon. The removal efficiency for ibuprofen was significantly lower than for other studied pharmaceuticals and comparable for all adsorbents. Theoretical calculations made it possible to obtain optimized chemical structures of (S)-naproxen, ibuprofen, and paracetamol molecules. Knowledge of charge distributions of these adsorbate molecules can be helpful to explain why paracetamol and naproxen can react more strongly with the surface of adsorbents with a large numbers of acidic groups compared to ibuprofen facilitating more efficient adsorption of these pharmaceuticals on ordered mesoporous carbons.

  • Other studies have highlighted the effectiveness of MTAC in removing pharmaceutical residues, including ibuprofen and paracetamol.

    “Other studies have highlighted the effectiveness of MTAC in removing pharmaceutical residues, including ibuprofen and paracetamol, further supporting its versatility as an adsorbent material for a wide range of industrial pollutant47.”

    From Performance of maize tassel activated carbon for COD removal from industrial wastewater under optimized conditions (2025) · cites this paper as [47]

    The Introduction and Conclusions describe adsorption of paracetamol and ibuprofen from water, but the materials studied were ordered mesoporous carbons (ST-A-P and ST-A-P-CO₂) and commercial activated carbon (WG-15), not MTAC. The Conclusions also say ibuprofen removal was significantly lower than removal of the other pharmaceuticals. The paper therefore does not establish MTAC’s effectiveness or its versatility across industrial pollutants. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
