Description
Atefeh Rahmani and co-authors build a magnetic carbon powder from pistachio shells to pull an antibiotic out of hospital wastewater. Drug traces in waterways harm people and wildlife, and cefotaxime is one such drug. Their 2024 powder starts as activated carbon treated with an iron salt.
The team tuned dose, acidity, drug level, and time with a design of experiments approach. At the best settings, the powder cleared 99.1 percent of the drug. Lab checks showed a strong, even surface well suited to the task. Fit tests point to a single layer grip driven by chemistry, with a top capacity of 651.6 milligrams per gram. The authors pitch the waste based powder for wider water cleanup.
