Removal of ciprofloxacin by anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) and post-treatment of AnMBR effluent by Mai, Do Thi

“…Of all the antibiotics present in the environment, ciprofloxacin (CIP) has sometimes been reported at extremely high concentration, in the range of mg/L. CIP is also one of the antibiotics that poses a high ecological risk, and genotoxicity and the transfer of resistance between different bacterial species were induced at concentrations as low as a few µg/L. …”
