The present investigation was carried out in order to know the effect of using soaps mixed with activated charcoal and moringa seed powder on the concentration of the drugs ibuprofen and amoxicillin present in domestic wastewater. The soaps were prepared with transparent commercial glycerin by adding the adsorbents at a rate of 0,1g/g of soap. The wastewater was prepared in the laboratory and had typical characteristics of a wastewater with a pH of 7,8 , a COD of 895 mg/L and a BOD of 298 mg/L. Here, 3 mg/L of ibuprofen and 3 mg/L were added. mg/l of amoxicillin. Subsequently, the tests were carried out by adding the soaps with the adsorbents activated carbon and moringa seed powder to 1 liter of the synthetic wastewater, separately and together, in three percentages by weight: 5%, 15% and 25%. The application of soap with moringa seed powder with a weight percentage of 25% achieved the highest removal of both drugs, with 81,33% and 80% for ibuprofen and amoxicillin respectively. With the combined application of soaps with activated carbon and moringa seed powder at 25% by weight, an 82% removal of amoxicillin was obtained. This treatment was applied to real wastewater, coming from the outlet of domestic wastewater to the Huallaga River in Tingo María, which was then characterized with average values of pH 7,82, Temperature 22,7 °C, COD of 1 138,1 mg/L, BOD of 403,6 mg/L and conductivity of 2470,43 μS/cm. The removal percentages of ibuprofen and amoxicillin were 72,3% and 69,7% respectively, values that are lower than those obtained with the same treatment in wastewater prepared in the laboratory. According to the statistical analysis carried out, both the final concentrations and removal percentage of the drugs from the real domestic wastewater and the artificial wastewater present a significant difference.
