Removal of ciprofloxacin from an aqueous medium by adsorption on natural and hydrolyzed bentonites

Two bentonites (sodic bentonite, BSN, and calcic bentonite, BCN) were treated with nitric acid to improve the adsorption capacities using ciprofloxacin (CIP) as an adsorbate. The results demonstrated that nitric acid treatment enhances the specific area and increases the pore volume of both bentonit...
