A mechanistic study of ciprofloxacin removal by kaolinite

Removal of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride from Aqueous Solution by Pomegranate Peel Grown in Alziedab Agricultural Scheme - River Nile State, Sudan

“…It is also evidently observed that the percentage removal of the CIP drug is sufficiently high, (86.4% ± 4.73) at low concentration (50 mg/L) and no significant further increase as the concentration increases [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]34]. …”

“…In addition the model assumes uniform energies of sorption on to the surface and no transmigration of the sorbate. The linearized form of the Langmuir isotherm equation is represented as [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]35]:…”

“…In the literature, several studies related to the adsorption of CIP to natural materials or components of natural materials have been published (activated carbon [15], activated charcoal and talc [16], date palm leaflets [17], montmorillonite [18], soil [19,20,21], dioctahedral clay minerals [22]; kaolinite [23]; modified coal fly ash [24]; aerobically digested biosolid [25], sawdust [26], birnessite, a layered manganese oxide [27], (Fe 3 O 4 /C) a new magnetic mesoporous carbon composite [28], Chitosan-Zn (II), Chitosan-Fe (III), Chitosan-Fe(II) microparticles [29], aluminum and hydrous oxides [30], andnano-sized magnetite [31]). …”

Response surface methodological approach for optimizing removal of ciprofloxacin from aqueous solution using thermally activated persulfate/aeration systems

“…Recently, the concern about environmental and health impacts of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) increased due to the high frequency of their detection in the environment, particularly as no legal requirements have been set for disposal into aqueous solution (Girardi et al, 2011;Verlicchi et al, 2012;Li et al, 2011). Among antimicrobial agents, Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is the most frequently identified antibiotic for being active against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (Babić et al, 2013;Van Doorslaer et al, 2014).…”

Development of novel graphene-like layered hexagonal boron nitride for adsorptive removal of antibiotic gatifloxacin from aqueous solution

“…And adsorption has been considered to be an attractive and effective technology for removal of these organic pollutants. Recently, a great deal of adsorbents has been investigated and shown good potential, for example, graphene oxide (8)(9)(10), carbon nanotubes (11)(12)(13), activated carbon (14)(15)(16), mesoporous nanocomposite (17), porous resins (12), montmorillonite (18), bentonite (19), and kaolinite (20). Table 1 lists some of these adsorbents for removal of common antibiotics pollutants in water.…”
