Abstract :
Antibiotics as the most widely prescribed medicinal compounds are considered now as a main emerging environmental contaminant all over the world because their existence in environmental matrices not only endanger the health of human and other living organisms but also can cause serious environmental issues. The statistical studies estimate the amount of utilized antibiotics is 1×10^5 to 2×10^5 tons globally in each year. In this respect, antibiotics removal is of great importance and this review study was devoted to a comprehensive and critical look at the adsorption based methods for the removal of antibiotics (from different chemical families) and the effects of various parameters that can influence the removal capacity such as adsorbent dosage, temperature, initial concentration, solution pH, and etc. were discussed in details. Besides, some important suggestions that can enhance the removal percentage of antibiotics in the future studies were also proposed and discussed.
