Ciprofloxacin is a widely used antibiotic that can contaminate water sources and pose environmental and health risks. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to explore the green synthesis of iron (III) oxide nanoparticles using Citrus sinensis peel extract for the removal of ciprofloxacin in water using standard techniques. The adsorption of ciprofloxacin on the nanoparticles was investigated under different conditions, such as pH, initial concentration of adsorbate, contact time, and different adsorbent doses. The adsorption data were fitted to different isotherm and kinetic models to understand the adsorption mechanism and parameters. The results of characterization revealed the particles to be of nanocrystalline structure with a cubic crystal shape, negative surface charge, and a high thermal stability with elemental composition primarily of Fe and O; it has z- average of 42.60, with Fe-O bond at 693.30cm-1 and UV-Visible absorbance at 221nm. The maximum adsorption capacity with ciprofloxacin was 29.21 mg/g (97.45%) at pH of 7 and room temperature of 25 °C. The results of the adsorption data indicated that the adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, suggesting a monolayer adsorption on a homogeneous surface with a finite number of identical sites. The synthesized nanoparticles showed a high efficiency and selectivity for the removal of ciprofloxacin from water, demonstrating it potential as an eco-friendly and low-cost adsorbent for water purification.
