Herein, we developed the waste‐derived adsorbent, mesoporous Schumannianthus dichotomus (MSD) and used for the exploitation of Ibuprofen (IBP) in an economic and reliable way. The developed adsorbent was characterized by various physicochemical and spectroscopic analyses. Relatively higher surface area of 1058 m²/g, pore volume of 0.9909 cm³/g and average article size of 39.09 µm justified the utilization of the developed material for the removal of IBP from aqueous phase. The effect of ionic strength ( , Cl^–, and ), divalent ions (Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺) and surfactant on the removal of IBP onto MSD was investigated. Adsorption equilibrium is attained in 60 min with adsorbent load of 1.8 g/L. The removal efficiency of MSD is around 98% with sequestering capacity of 243.90 mg/g. Thermodynamic investigation revealed the adsorption process to be exothermic, (ΔH = −8.729 kJ/mol) and spontaneous in nature (ΔG = −7.06 kJ/mol) with a decrease in the randomness (ΔS = −5.57 JK/mol) at the solid/liquid interface. The energy recovered from the adsorbent‐loaded IBP in terms of higher heating value (17.15 mJ/kg) further enhanced its utilization. The low cost of MSD (USD 14.39 per kg) also justified its utilization for wastewater treatment in an economic perspective. Density Function Theory studies showed that a weak interaction occurs between IBP and the developed activated carbon, MSD. The exothermic character of IBP adsorption onto MSD was confirmed by experimental investigation.

一种消除废水中布洛芬的简便方法：一项实验和理论研究

在本文中，我们开发了废物衍生的吸附剂介孔舒曼香霉（MSD），并以经济，可靠的方式用于布洛芬（IBP）的开发。通过各种物理化学和光谱分析对已开发的吸附剂进行了表征。相对较高的表面积为1058 m ² / g，孔体积为0.9909 cm ³ / g，并且平均制品尺寸为39.09 µm，这证明了开发材料用于从水相中去除IBP的合理性。离子强度（，Cl ^–和），二价离子（Ca ²⁺和Mg ²⁺）和表面活性剂对将IBP去除到MSD上的作用进行了研究。在60分钟内达到吸附平衡，吸附量为1.8 g / L。MSD的去除效率约为98％，螯合能力为243.90 mg / g。热力学研究表明，吸附过程是放热的（ΔH  = -8.729 kJ / mol），自然是自发的（ΔG  = -7.06 kJ / mol），随机性降低（ΔS = -5.57 JK / mol）。从载有吸附剂的IBP中回收的能量具有更高的热值（17.15 mJ / kg），进一步提高了其利用率。MSD的低成本（每公斤14.39美元）也从经济角度证明了其用于废水处理的合理性。密度泛函理论研究表明，IBP与已开发的活性炭MSD之间存在弱相互作用。通过实验研究证实了IBP吸附在MSD上的放热特征。
