Separation Science and Technology, 54(8), 1278-1288.0149-63951520-5754https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01496395.2018.1536150https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/38161Current study describes sorption of antibiotic drug (ciprofloxacin) by using nontoxic and biocompatible carrier, i.e., wheat bran (WB). For sorption study, various parameters were optimized and Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Langmuir, and Temkin isotherm models were applied to demonstrate the mechanism of sorption, while kinetics study for sorption was evaluated using diffusion models, pseudo-first-order kinetic (Langergren) and pseudo-second-order (Ho and McKay) kinetic models. In addition, thermodynamics study was also carried out. However, sorption of ciprofloxacin was pH depended and it showed 75% drug release in alkaline medium (at pH = 1.5) indicating the good release ability of WB for ciprofloxacin.en10.1080/01496395.2018.1536150info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDrug sorptionwheat branciprofloxacinkineticsdrug releaseArticle54812781288Q2WOS:000463089300004Q3
