Pharmaceutical pollution is a growing concern today and our study focused on removal of environmentally hazardous pharmaceutical pollutant 5-flurouracil from synthetic fluorouracil wastewater using surface modified agricultural waste (Fluorouracil) and to study its adsorption characteristics. The present study and analysis investigates the potential use of Activated Carbon extracted from Bark of Sterculia foetida in the removal of 5-fluorouracil from aqueous solution using the batch adsorption processes. Adsorption of 5-fluorouracil onto the adsorbent was found to be influenced by the adsorbent dose, 5-fluorouracil concentration, temperature and contact time. On the basis of the results obtained it can be concluded that the adsorbent have a very high potential on the removal of 5-fluorouracil molecules from its aqueous solution.
