Removal of ampicillin and ciprofloxacin by GAC adsorption
Antibiotics can enter towards natural waterbodies through various pathways, causing environmental risks. Granular activated carbon (GAC) was deployed for removing two different types of antibiotics, namely ampicillin and ciprofloxacin from aqueous solution. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order...
