Abstract
Date palm-derived biochar (DPF600) was utilized to remove and adsorb commonly occurring pharmaceuticals such as atenolol (ATE), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and ibuprofen (IBP) as binary solutes. Factors such as pH, concentrations, dosage and contact time were varied and optimal conditions were determined. The binary mixtures ATE+IBP, ATE+SMX, and IBP + SMX best fit the Freundlich and pseudo-second-order models. From the competitive monolayer model, it was observed that SMX preferentially adsorbed onto DPF600 followed by IBP and ATE. Calculated adsorption energies for all binary mixtures were
