Removal of Pharmaceuticals from Water by Tomato Waste as Novel Promising Biosorbent: Equilibrium, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics

Tomato waste was studied as a low-cost biosorbent for the removal of five pharmaceuticals (dexamethasone, febantel, procaine, praziquantel, and tylosin) from water. Tomato waste was characterized chemically and microstructurally before and after simulated sorption. Sorption performance was interpret...
