Abstract
for CIP antibiotic. The Freundlich isotherm model was suitable to describe the adsorption equilibrium isotherm data and the pseudo second-order model reflected the adsorption kinetics well. The calculated thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption process is spontaneous under the measured conditions. The adsorption of CIP, MV and CIP + MV molecules on the surface of BN has been investigated through DFT calculations. The charge transfer and high adsorption capacity demonstrate the potential of BN nanosheets as an adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of MV dye and CIP drug from contaminated water.
