Adsorption characteristics of trimethoprim medicine were determined using Attapulgite an Iraqi clay of 75 ?m grain particle size in order to verify its capability as a poison antidote, adsorption process was very adequate within 30 minutes. Followed by minor and slow desorption process occurred after 60 minutes. Physical properties such as ?H, ?G, ?S and K were determined and documented for this work.
