CPZ: A Sustainable Approach to the Removal of Ciprofloxacin from Water
Antibiotics in aquatic environments pose a growing threat – they promote the emergence of resistant bacterial strains and disrupt ecosystems. A team of researchers has therefore developed a new adsorbent capable of efficiently removing ciprofloxacin (a widely used broad-spectrum antibiotic) from water. The combination: Chitosan / Polyacrylamide / Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (CPZ).
