N2  - The widespread of micropollutants such as pharmaceutical compound in WWTPs is now  one of the biggest threats to global health. Pharmaceutical micropollutants, such as  oestrogenic and anti-inflammatory compounds, can pollute water, posing serious health  and environmental risks. This study examines how well various biomass substrates which  are rice straw, corn cob and sugarcane waste to adsorb ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory  medication and an estrogenic compound (E2). The adsorption performance of these  biomass substrates was assessed using zeolite as a baseline. By pyrolysing the biomass  substrates, biochar was created. Its surface morphology, functional groups, and surface  area properties were assessed using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, Fourier  Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).  Batch studies were used to perform adsorption experiments at different pollutant  concentrations (3 ppm, 5 ppm, and 10 ppm). Reverse-phased High-Performance Liquid  Chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used to analyse the results. According to the results,  sugarcane waste had the highest adsorption efficiency because of its superior surface area,  pore volume, and functional group characteristics. All biomass substrates were found to  effectively adsorp both ibuprofen and E2. Zeolite was a useful baseline even though its  adsorption performance was lower. The study emphasises the potential of biochar made  from agricultural waste as an economical and sustainable wastewater treatment method
