Drugs are the active principles that originate drugs for a specific therapeutic purpose. Among
these, antibiotics deserve to be highlighted due to their high consumption, since after being
consumed and metabolized by humans, they are mostly excreted and transported to sewage
treatment plants (ETEs). The present work aimed to delimit the use of antibiotics in the state of
Tocantins and in Palmas-TO and to evaluate the removal of the antibiotic ampicillin sodium
from the water, in a batch regime, using dosages of 5.00 mg/L, 27.50 mg/L and 50 .00 mg/L of
powdered activated carbon (PAC), one produced from the epicarp of the Babaçu Coconut and
the other made from steam-activated wood, in contact times of 5.00 min, 32.50 min and 60, 00
min.. The study water (ultrapure) was prepared with a concentration of 50.00 mg/L of sodium
ampicillin, and residual concentration readings were performed by high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC). The study resulted in two articles, one review and the other bench
test, where the first delimited that ampicillin is among the thirty most consumed antibiotics in
Tocantins and Palmas-TO and the second found an efficiency of ampicillin sodium removal in
48.73% synthetic water with 27.50 mg/L of Coconut Babaçu CAP in 32.50 min. While the
wood PAC was not efficient under the charcoal dosages and contact time analyzed. |
