Antibiotic residues have been extensively identified in diverse aquatic environments, posing significant health risks to both humans and animals, while also presenting challenges the environment. Consequently, imperative need effectively removal antibiotics from environment has become a very importance issue. In this study, response surface methodology with central composite design was employed systematically investigate effects of key process parameters, on cefotaxime (CTX) hospital wastewater using pistachio sells based activated carbon modified FeCl3. The synthesized thermochemical method characterized by analytical techniques including FE-SEM, FTIR, XRD, pHpzc, BET analysis, which demonstrated its remarkable physicochemical properties. Maximum efficiency 99.1% obtained via optimal values 45 mg L− 1 initial CTX concentration, solution pH 7, 200 Fe@ACP dosage, 56 min reaction time through adsorption process. According results, non-linear Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9931) second order kinetic 0.9934) are suitably described monolayer chemisorption adsorption. maximum capacity is 651.6 g− 1. developed treatment revealed successful performance for quick efficient Fe@ACP. introduced an economic green approach comprehensive utilization agricultural waste resources used environmental pollution control.
