Tiivistelmä
Water is a necessary component of biological life. However, the quality of water has deteriorated due to a variety of factors especially pollution caused by dyes, chemicals, heavy metals, medication, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and surfactants. Pharmaceutical waste is a global problem owing to its enormous influence on the biological community and has been classified as an emerging contaminant.
Carbamazepine is a pharmaceutical medication that is often used to treat depression, PTSD, RLS, diabetic neuropathy, and pain. The quantity of carbamazepine in wastewater is growing as a result of its widespread usage, which has a detrimental effect on both living organisms and humans.
Various traditional and advanced technologies have been used to eliminate this pollution, but they all have certain limits. This thesis study utilized adsorption technology in conjunction with additively manufactured adsorbents as a novel approach to purify wastewater.
This thesis work includes the fabrication of a 3D printed geopolymer adsorbent utilizing activated carbon and hydrotalcite, as well as the execution of batch adsorption studies to determine removal efficiency and the analysis of kinetic and isotherm properties. As a result, 3D-printed adsorbents were found highly potential in studied application.
