Description
Summary:We report the synthesis of Ag S-Chitosan nanocomposites and Ag S-chitosan nanohybrids as performance adsorbents for Lincosamides such as Clindamycin antibiotic removal. Isotherms and kinetic studies were determined to understand the adsorption behavior both two adsorbent. At low adsorbent dose, removals are increased in the adsorption process, and performance is better with Ag S-chitosan nanohybrids due to the special surface area increased. The average sizes and surface area of Ag S-Chitosan nanocomposites and Ag S-chitosan nanohybrids were found as 50nm, 70nm and 180.18, 238.24m g , respectively. In particular, Ag S-Chitosan nanocomposites and Ag S-chitosan nanohybrids show high maximum Clindamycin adsorption capacity (q ) of 153.21, and 181.28mgg , respectively. More strikingly, Ag S-Chitosan nanocomposites and Ag S-chitosan nanohybrids are also demonstrated to nearly completely remove Clindamycin from drinking water. The excellent adsorption performance along with their cost effective, convenient synthesis makes this range of adsorbents highly promising for commercial applications in drinking water and wastewater treatment.
