Adsorption characteristics of individual and binary mixture of ciprofloxacin antibiotic and lead(II) on synthesized bamboo-biochar.

Adsorption of individual and a binary mixture of ciprofloxacin antibiotic (CFX) and lead ion, Pb(II) on bamboo biochar was investigated in this study. Bamboo biochar which was successfully fabricated by pyrolysis was carefully characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, FT-IR, XPS and zeta potential measurements to confirm the porous structure and high specific surface area of 134 m g. Individual and simultaneous adsorption of CFX and Pb(II) on synthesized bamboo biochar was systematically studied by batch technique.
