A research study conducted by the Hunan Institute of Engineering in Xiangtan, People's Republic of China, explores the use of nanoparticles for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater. The researchers synthesized a composite material called Fe3O4-sep-vacuum, which demonstrated high adsorption capacity for ciprofloxacin, a commonly used antibiotic. The study found that Fe3O4-sep-vacuum could remove approximately 93% of ciprofloxacin within 20 minutes at an initial pH of 6.0. The research suggests that this vacuum-filtration assisted coprecipitation strategy could be a promising method for efficiently treating antibiotics-contaminated wastewater.
