In this work Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) can be used as a sorbent for drug eliminate from industrial Water treatment, drinking water such as tetracycline (TCs). Several operational standards like primary drug concentration, large dose, pH, and the temperature of the solution by use of TiO2 in the adsorption of drug TCs. The best result of the percentage removal E% (51-87%), (59-94%) and (70-97%) at temperature (288to 323K).The removal rate decreased with an increase in drug concentrations from 93.706 to 60.227% and Raising the concentration of the pipette adsorbent enhances rising ratio of eliminate till fullness of the adsorbent. This study appears that the adsorption emphasize on mechanism of decomposition TiO 2 applied as a substitutional, economical and environmentally harmless condenser for water purification.
