Simultaneous Sorption of Ciprofloxacin and Amoxicillin on Chitosan Composites from Aqueous Solutions: Kinetics and Isotherms
Abstract:The occurrence of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly antibiotics, in treated water has posed a significant toxic health risk to humans, fauna, and flora. This is ascribed to the inability of conventional wastewater treatment plants to completely eradicate these contaminants of environmental concern during treatment. Despite the effectiveness of the solid-liquid adsorption process in the removal of antibiotics and other pharmaceutical compounds (PCs), studies on simultaneous adsorption of PCs are scanty.
