Abstract:Metronidazole (MNZ) is a major threat to the ecosystems and human health, due to its toxicity and carcinogenic nature. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of graphene oxide functionalized β-cyclodextrin/Ag nanocomposite (GO/β-CD/Ag) for MNZ removal from aqueous solution. The effect of operational parameters such as solution pH (2-5), adsorbent dosages (0.2-1 g/L), contact time (10-80 min), initial MNZ concentrations (0.25-10 mg/L) and ionic strength (0.001-0.1 mol/L) was studied using Tag… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
