Elucidating the dynamics of carbamazepine uptake using date pit-derived activated carbon: A comprehensive kinetic and thermodynamic analysis.

Water contamination with pharmaceuticals such as Carbamazepine (CBZ) presents a significant environmental challenge. This study investigates the use of activated carbon derived from waste date pits (DPAC) for the removal of CBZ from water. The impact of several parameters such as pH, temperature, CBZ concentration, and flow rate on the adsorption were assessed.
