Abstract This study aims to use the tissues of Cyclamen persicum tubers to prepare activated carbon (CTAC) by different methods then to set up a thermodynamic study of the pharmaceutical diclofenac sodium (DCF) adsorption from aqueous solution onto this activated carbon. Optimum percent of DCF removal was 72% when CTAC dosage was 0.25 g and DCF concentration 50 mg/L. Percentage removal of DCF increases when the concentration of DCF increases as the maximum percentage removal reached 81% when DCF concentration was 70 mg/L and 0.7 g CTAC and pH ranging from 6 to 2.
