Adsorption of ciprofloxacin from water by pretreated oat hulls: Equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel and environmentally friendly adsorbent was developed from oat hulls, representative of cellulosic materials abundantly generated as by-products in agriculture industry, for removal ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water.

Sorption of Polyfluoroalkyl Surfactants on Surface Soils: Effect of Molecular Structures, Soil Properties, and Solution Chemistry
TL;DR: It is revealed that the quaternary ammonium group imparted a strong affinity of cationic perfluorooctaneamide ammonium compound (PFOAAmS) for soils, and the lack of correlations suggests that the transport potential of PFASs is probably highly site-specific.

Kinetics, electron-donor-acceptor interactions, and site energy distribution analyses of norfloxacin adsorption on pretreated barley straw
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the adsorption of norfloxacin from artificial wastewater by pretreated barley straw (PBS) that was made from raw barley straw with H3PO4 impregnation and microwave heating.

Modeling and site energy distribution analysis of levofloxacin sorption by biosorbents
Bei Yan,Catherine Hui Niu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an adsorption equilibrium model was applied to simulate the sorption of an antibiotic, levofloxacin (LEV), from aqueous solution by the biosorbent based on pretreated barley straw.

Molecular mechanisms of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on a modified clay: a combined experimental and molecular simulation study.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that modified clay produced by intercalating quaternary ammonium cations in the exchangeable interlayer sites of smectite clay can effectively remove PFAS pollutants in real groundwater via strong adsorption.
