Degradation of cyclophosphamide and ibuprofen using sesame oil meal-based activated carbon composite

Key Points

• Degradation rates for cyclophosphamide reached 85% in three days with activated carbon treatment, indicating significant removal efficiency.
• Key evidence showed that ibuprofen degradation was similar, achieving a 78% reduction in the same timeframe.
• This analysis used an activated carbon composite derived from sesame oil meal to assess the removal capabilities of toxic drugs.
• Findings support the use of biodegradable materials for wastewater treatment, underscoring the potential for sustainable environmental solutions.
