Development of effective adsorbents for the removal of contaminants from wastewater is indispensable due to increasing water scarcity and a lack of pure drinking water, which are prevailing as a result of rapid industrialization and population growth. Recently, the development of new adsorbents and their effective use without generating secondary waste is receiving huge consideration. In order to protect the environment from primary and secondary pollution, the development of adsorbents from wastes and their recycling have become conventional practices aimed at waste management.

Bimetal oxide ZnO-MgO nanoparticles were synthesised by precipitation method at low temperature and characterised by analytical techniques such as XRD, SEM and FT-IR. In order to know the efficiency of uptake and release of anticancer drug, the adsorption and release of doxorubicin, on bimetal oxide nanoparticles was performed in dark room at room temperature. The adsorption models such as Henry, Freundlich and Langmuir models were validated with obtained experimental data.
