| Abstract | ||
| The seepage, discharge or uncontrolled disposal of pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, and/or dyes into water bodies is a growing environmental and health concern. These substances, emanated from medical, agriculture, domestic and industrial activities, contaminate water and adversely impact ecosystems and human health. Traditional treatment methods, such as adsorption, bio-degradation, advanced oxidation, photo-catalysis, coagulation, ozonation and filtration are commonly used. Among these, adsorption using agricultural waste is preferred due to its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, practicality and availability/ease of bio-wastes processing. To enhance the performance of agricultural wastes for organic pollutants removal, modification(s) is (are) performed on the raw materials, either physically or chemically, to increase porosity/surface area, carbon content, surface functionality and (or) hydrophilicity. | ||
