A straw-activated carbon has been successfully synthesized with the high BET surface area, at 494.9240 m2/g, which is perfectly suitable for the adsorption of cephalexin antibiotic from aqueous water. It is noted that the adsorption capacity of straw-activated carbon is demonstrated by the effect of initial concentration, contact time, pH solution and dosage. The straw-activated carbon exhibited improved decontaminant efficiency towards cephalexin antibiotics. Quick and improved sorption could be attributable to the distinctive structural and compositional merits as well as the synergetic contribution of functional groups to surface material. Most interestingly, the adsorption capacity achieved at pH 6 was ~98.52%. A mechanism adsorption has been proposed to demonstrate adsorption of the straw-activated carbon (AC-S). By comparison with other studies, it is confirmed that AC-S in this study obtained a higher removal efficiency than other adsorbent materials, suggesting that straw-activated carbon may be an appropriate candidate to treat cephalexin from wastewater media

The use of powdered activated carbon in combination with ultrafiltration membranes is attracting increasing interest for the removal of organic compounds in drinking water treatment. The overall adsorption efficiency of this hybrid membrane process strongly depends on the reactor configuration and its operating conditions. Identification of the operating conditions yielding optimum carbon performance can be facilitated by the use of mathematical models describing the adsorption process. In this study, the effect of various designs and operating parameters on the efficiency of the adsorption process is discussed using an adsorption model previously developed and verified by the authors. This discussion includes the effect of filtration time, membrane reactor volume, carbon dosing procedure, carbon dose and carbon particle size on the adsorption removal of two selected micropollutants and dissolved organic matter.
