Abstract
This study presents adsorption performances for Carbamazepine, Propyphenazone, and Sulfamethoxazole using polymer resin, Lewatit VP OC 1163. Adsorption capacities followed: Carbaniazepine> Sulfamethoxazole> Propyphenazone. Lewatit VP OC 1163 showed a larger adsorption for pharmaceuticals having low solubility, with Freundlich adsorption parameter, K-p,, reaching 46.068 [(mgg(-1)) (mgl(-1))] for Carbamazepine (solubility, 179 mgl(-1)). SAC(254) (Spectral Absorption Coefficient at 254 nm) can be used as a control parameter for pharmaceutical adsorption studies.
