Possible removal of the quinolone antibiotic moxifloxacin from contaminated water by biogenically synthesized alumina/ZnO/NiO nanocomposites using Commiohora myrrha extract

The environmentally friendly synthesis of triple metal oxide nanocomposites incorporating natural gum extract has attracted great interest due to its low cost, environmental friendliness, non-toxicity and as a reversal of many physical and chemical processes. Simple biosynthetic technique using Commiohora myrrha gum extract as a green reducing and stabilizing material has been used to effectively prepare the alumina/ZnO/NiO nanocomposite (alumina/ZnO/NiO NCS). Full confirmation for the synthesized alumina/ZnO/NiO NCS was conducted using optical, elemental, and microscopical detections. The findings indicated that the prepared NCS exhibits high purity with particle size 17.5 nm. The synthesized NCS was applied to remove quinolone antibiotic moxifloxacin toxins from wastewater. Adsorption/desorption efficiency for the removal of the quinolone antibiotic moxifloxacin (MOX) from wastewater under optimal experimental circumstances such as adsorption dose (1.5 mg/L) contact time (3 hours), initial MOX concentration (50 mg/L), agitation speed (250 rpm), and pH 7 has been done. Adsorption kinetics and the adsorption isotherm were investigated, and the results Every adsorbent's removal procedure followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The adsorption kinetic isotherm of the removal of MOX was explained by pseudo-second order. The effectiveness of synthetic nanomaterials in eliminating toxins like MOX from tainted water was demonstrated by this study.
