Fluoxetine (FLX) is a substance scientifically known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and is classified as a micropollutant due to its presence in wastewater. The adsorption process is a widely used approach in terms of cost effectiveness and efficacy for FLX removal. In this study, reduces graphene oxide (GO) composite with mesoporous silica was used as an adsorbent to investigate the removal of FLX by an adsorption process. A series of batch experiments were carried out to determine the effects of the above variables on the efficiency of the adsorption process. The dose of adsorbent was chosen to be 0.02 g and the optimum initial pH was determined. In the batch adsorption experiments conducted over the contact time range of 5-360 minutes, high FLX removal efficiencies (96%) were consistently achieved at all contact times, depending on the selected adsorbent dose. The data obtained from the batch experiments conducted at different FLX concentrations were analysed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The Freundlich isotherm was found to be the most appropriate for this study. Keywords: Fluoxetine, treatment, anodic oxidation, electro-oxidation
