(MENAFN - The Peninsula) Doha: An international team, led by Qatar University (QU) researchers, has recently published a research article in Environmental Science and Pollution Research, a reputable journal published by Springer Nature. The work presented a rapid and efficient removal of the antidiabetic drug glimepiride by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The research was motivated by the rising global water pollution concerns caused by pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCP). Such pollutants have been detected in surface water across the globe, particularly in heavily populated areas. This research aims to develop a new method for removing residues of Gilmeride, a common drug to treat type II diabetes, using carbon nanotubes in a continuous adsorption process. This research came as a collaboration between Dr. Ismail Badran, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry and Earth Sciences at the College of Arts and Sciences at Qatar University, Dr. ....
