Article Synopsis
- Pharmaceuticals are commonly found in aquatic ecosystems, highlighting the need for affordable removal methods from water.
- A novel activated carbon produced from pinewood was developed through a sequence of treatments, showing effective adsorption of the drugs diclofenac and ciprofloxacin.
- The activated carbon demonstrated over 95% removal efficiency for pharmaceuticals in water and 90% in real wastewater, maintaining its effectiveness across six usage cycles.
Nowadays, the construction industry is challenged not only by increasingly strict environmental regulations, but also by a shortage of raw materials and additives. It is critical to find new sources with which the circular economy and zero waste approach can be achieved. Promising candidates are alkali activated cements (AAC), which offer the potential to convert industrial wastes into higher added value products.

By producing alkali-activated cements (AACs), it is possible to find an alternative way to handle the above-mentioned environmental problems. First, with a view to optimizing experimental parameters, metakaolin-based AACs were prepared, and in it, waste tire rubber was used as sand replacement (5-45 wt %).
