N2 - Pharmaceuticals are emerging contaminants that potentially harm the environment as well as human health. Paracetamol is a common analgesic drug often detected in wastewater and surface water. The efficacy of wild algal biomass as an adsorbent to remove paracetamol from aqueous solutions was examined in this paper. Adsorption of paracetamol was carried out using three different algal biomass modification methods namely non-modified algal biomass, alkaline modified algal biomass, and acidic modified algal biomass. The paracetamol biosorption was studied through batch experiments at 30 °C, agitation speed of 150 rpm at pH of 6.8 during 120 min reaction time. The highest removal up to 63.56% and adsorption capacity of 32.56 mg/g was obtained using non-modified biomass. Overall, the results obtained suggest that wild algae biomass is a promising biosorbent for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water.
