Azithromycin removal from water via adsorption on drinking water sludge-derived materials: Kinetics and isotherms studies. by Camilo C Castro-Jiménez, Julio C Saldarriaga-Molina, Edwin F García, Ricardo A Torres-Palma, Nancy Acelas

“…The L-500 adsorbent, derived from the calcination (at 500°C) of WTS generated under conditions of low turbidity in the drinking water treatment plant, presented an increase in the specific surface area from 70.745 to 95.471 m2 g-1 and in the total pore volume from 0.154 to 0.211 cm3 g-1, which resulted in a significant AZT removal efficiency of 65% in distilled water after 60 min of treatment. In synthetic wastewater, the rate of AZT removal increased to 80%, in comparison, in a real effluent of a municipal wastewater treatment plant, an AZT removal of 56% was obtained. …”
