Efficient removal of the ciprofloxacin drug using an electrospun Co/Al-layered double hydroxide-embedded chitosan/polyvinylidene fluoride nanofiber membrane
This research aims to explore the removal efficiency of ciprofloxacin from contaminated water using a specialized nanofiber membrane.
Developed an electrospun nanofiber membrane incorporating Co/Al-layered double hydroxide and chitosan/polyvinylidene fluoride.
Conducted experiments to assess the membrane's capability in ciprofloxacin removal from water sources.
The nanofiber membrane effectively reduced ciprofloxacin concentrations in water.
Demonstrated high removal efficiency rates, indicating potential for practical applications in water treatment.
Abstract
The contamination of water by antibiotics due to the persistence and bioaccumulation of pharmaceutical compounds such as ciprofloxacin (CIP) is an environmental issue of great concern.
