Abstract:Polyvinyl alcohol/agar/maltodextrin composite membranes at different ratios are investigated for the removal of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin from water. The factors affecting the adsorption capacity of the as-synthesized membranes include time, pH, temperature, concentration, and dosage of film. The PAM244 and PAM433 membranes are subjected to optimization using response surface methodology model employing the Box–Behnken experimental design model. The optimal model has shown compatibility between the experime… Show more
