Abstract

âº Three activated carbons (AC) compared as adsorbents and oxidation catalysts. âº Similar evolution for catalytic and adsorptive properties of AC over reuses. âº Acidic and mesoporous AC to be preferred, despite lower initial efficiency. âº Oxidative degradation of paracetamol improves biodegradability. âº Convenient hybrid adsorption-regenerative oxidation process for continuous treatment.
