Abstract

Zn(II)-impregnated chitosan/graphene oxide composite (Zn(II)-CS/GO) was prepared and applied for adsorptive removal of ciprofloxacin (CFN) from aqueous solutions. The material was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM coupled with EDX, and TGA- DTA. The experimental variables were optimized by Box- Behnken design. Under optimized conditions, the adsorption capacity of Zn(II)-CS/GO for CFN was 210.96 mg/g at pH 6.5. The experimental adsorption data fitted well to Langmuir model with R2 \(\ge 0.9914\). The sorption kinetic data were well described by pseudo- second- order kinetic model (R2 \(\ge 0.9989)\). Elovich model with R2 ˃ 0.986 indicated towards the chemical nature of adsorption. The adsorption of CFN on the adsorbent occurs through electrostatic and π-π interactions. The values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔS°, and ΔH°) indicated that the sorption of CFN on the Zn(II)-CS/GO was an endothermic and spontaneous process. Adsorption- desorption studies suggested that the Zn(II)-CS/GO composite can be used effectively for CFN removal from water.
