Abstract

The presence of emergent pollutants in the aquatic environment has raised concerns all over the world because of their adverse effects on the environment and human health. Their elimination becomes a necessity. This article provides a review of the up-to-date research on the treatment of emergent pollutants by adsorption. In this study, we have focused mainly on the elimination of pharmaceutical pollutants from aqueous solutions by deferent adsorbents and comparing their adsorption capacity. Previous studies showed the advantages of using biomaterials and eco-friendly adsorbents to remove these pollutants from wastewater. Most of the adsorbents have shown effective removal of pharmaceutical pollutants. Several parameters influences the adsorption phenomenon such-as pH of the solution, temperature, concentration and nature of pollutant and the dose of the adsorbent.
