Abstract

The detection of pharmaceutical such as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in water bodies has gained a great concern due to causing adverse effects on the environment. This study aims to explore the potential of magnetic crosslinked-chitosan (MACsorb) adsorbent in the removal of ASA. In the adsorbent synthesis study, the optimal volume of glutaraldehyde (GTA) used for crosslinking is 1 ml. The MACsorb demonstrated high removal percentage (96 %) towards ASA (0.1 g/L) at 120 min reaction time, 27 °C temperature and pH3. The excellent adsorption performance combined with its unique magnetic separation property makes MACsorb a promising candidate for treating pharmaceutical waste of ASA in wastewater.
