Article Synopsis
- Hydrothermal treatment of fishery waste-derived chitin (CT) and chitosan (CS) was conducted to create hydrochar adsorbents aimed at removing environmentally concerning pharmaceuticals.
- The study found that lower-temperature CS hydrochars had better adsorption capabilities for pharmaceuticals with carboxyl groups due to electrostatic interactions, while higher temperatures led to reduced adsorption efficiencies due to a decrease in available amine sites.
- Overall, this research highlights the dual benefit of utilizing marine waste for creating effective adsorbents while also addressing pollution issues from pharmaceuticals.
