    "abstract": "A novel hybrid adsorbent of activated carbon/ maltodextrin-functionalized fibrous silica (AC/KCC-1/DEX) was prepared for the efficient removal of Acetaminophen (ACE) and Amoxicillin (AMOX) from water. Comprehensive characterization via FESEM, TEM, BET, XPS, and FTIR confirmed an enhances surface properties and functional corporation from supporting materials and functionalization agent. Particularly, despite significant decrease in surface area upon DEX functionalization, a remarkable enhancement in adsorption removal efficiency was observed, underscoring the pivotal role of surface chemistry over surface area alone. The AC/KCC-1/DEX exhibited 87.64 m",
