The present study shows the applicability of carbon nanoparticles made from vine wood as an inexpensive adsorbent for the removal of Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, Tetracycline and Penicillin G from aqueous solutions. The activation of carbon nanoparticles was studied by aqueous solutions of NaOH, KOH, Zn...
