Removal of pharmaceuticals from municipal wastewater by adsorption onto pyrolyzed pulp mill sludge

A charcoal was produced from primary pulp mill sludge and then used for the adsorptive removal of diclofenac, salicylic acid, ibuprofen and acetaminophen. A main aim was to assess the utilization of this material for the tertiary treatment of sewage. For this purpose, the adsorption of the selected...
