Reports from Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) Describe Recent Advances in Carbon Aerogels (Preparation of carbon aerogel from waste newspaper for adsorption of antidiabetic drug residue from aqueous system).

A recent report from the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) discusses the use of carbon aerogels for the removal of antidiabetic drug residues from water. The researchers utilized waste newspaper to prepare the carbon aerogel and characterized it using various techniques. The study found that the carbon aerogel had a high removal efficiency for the drug residue, with optimal removal observed at pH 3. The research also proposed an adsorption mechanism for the removal process. The carbon aerogel showed stability in removal efficiency over multiple cycles of regeneration.
