Owing to the global industrialization, a new generation of pharmaceutical pollutants with high toxicity and persistency have been detected. In the present study, silica microspheres, a promising adsorbent has been employed to investigate the extent of removal of prevalent therapeutic acetaminophen, an emerging micropollutant, from wastewater in isolated batch experiments. The BET surface area of the adsorbent was 105.
