AB  - The determination and remediation of three phenolic compounds bisphenol A (BPA), 
      ortho-nitrophenol (o-NTP), parachlorophenol (PCP) in wastewater is reported. The 
      analysis of these molecules in wastewater was done using gas chromatography 
      (GC) x GC time-of-flight mass spectrometry while activated carbon derived from 
      maize tassel was used as an adsorbent. During the experimental procedures, the 
      effect of various parameters such as initial concentration, pH of sample 
      solution, eluent volume, and sample volume on the removal efficiency with respect 
      to the three phenolic compounds was studied. The results showed that maize tassel 
      produced activated carbon (MTAC) cartridge packed solid-phase extraction (SPE) 
      system was able to remove the phenolic compounds effectively (90.84-98.49%, 
      80.75-97.11%, and 78.27-97.08% for BPA, o-NTP, and PCP, respectively). The MTAC 
      cartridge packed SPE sorbent performance was compared to commercially produced 
      C18 SPE cartridges and found to be comparable. All the parameters investigated 
      were found to have a notable influence on the adsorption efficiency of the 
      phenolic compounds from wastewaters at different magnitudes.
