A new nanoporous carbon adsorbent was investigated for tetracycline removal.
Influences of variables parameters on of tetracycline adsorption were studied.
The adsorption was evaluated by several isotherm and kinetic models.
Maximum of tetracycline adsorption capacity of 500.0 mg g−1 was reported.
The adsorption process was found to be spontaneous and endothermic in nature.
