Upcycling medical waste into a magnetic adsorbent for amoxicillin removal: a circular economy approach

|

| Nature Verified
Abstract Pharmaceutical pollution, particularly contamination by antibiotics such as amoxicillin (AMX), represents an increasing threat to aquatic ecosystems. Conventional wastewater treatment technologies often exhibit limited removal efficiency and may involve high operational costs. In this study, a waste-to-resource strategy was developed by converting discarded Thermacare Heat Patches (THPs), a common form of medical waste, into a magnetic carbon-based adsorbent for AMX removal from water.
