The iron-impregnated zeolite achieved 89% removal compared to 32% achieved by the un-impregnated zeolite. The iron-impregnated zeolite recorded a higher equilibrium adsorption capacity of 22.49 mg/g compared to 8.09 mg/g for the un-impregnated. Impregnating zeolite with iron enhance its adsorption capacity by generating additional active sites through the introduction of iron species and by shifting the point of zero charge toward a neutral pH, thus broadening the pH range conducive for electrostatic attraction. Kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics of the adsorptive elimination of chloramphenicol were investigated. The adsorptive removal of chloramphenicol by the iron-impregnated zeolite fitted best to the <i>pseudo</i>-first order kinetic model. It was also established that the adsorption rate is not solely controlled by Intra-particle diffusion. The Freundlich isothermal model fitted the experimental data better while a Q_max of 39.34 mg/g was attained by ImZe.

Furthermore, the adsorption was characterized by increased orderliness at the sorbent/bulk solution interface as indicated by negative ∆S value.
