A composite chitosan/nano-activated carbon (CS-NAC) aminated by (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) was prepared in the form of beads and applied for the removal of acetaminophen from aqueous solutions. NAC and APTES concentrations were optimized to obtain a suitable adsorbent structure for enha...
