The study shows that activated biochar effectively removes paracetamol from water, achieving an efficiency of 88–93%.
The biochar's maximum adsorption capacity is approximately 27.8 mg g−1, highlighting its high performance against emerging pollutants.
Produced from eucalyptus waste using H3PO4 activation, the biochar has a functionalized surface that enhances adsorption properties.
This eco-friendly bioadsorbent shows excellent reusability and maintains its efficacy in complex aqueous matrices.
