Hydrothermal Carbonisation Of Papaya Peels As Adsorbent For Removal Of Chloramphenicol Compounds

Chloramphenicol (CAP) is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) frequently detected in aquatic environments. As a result, continuous exposure to this antibiotic residue brings about adverse effects on human health and aquatic organisms. Recently, among several antibiotic removal technologies from...
