PVA-assisted CNCs/SiO2 composite aerogel for efficient sorption of ciprofloxacin

Efforts to develop a green, inexpensive and effective adsorbent are crucial for eliminating antibiotics in polluted water. The sorption capacity of the as-prepared polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-assisted cellulose nanocrystals/SiO 2 (CNCs/SiO 2 ) composite aerogel to ciprofloxacin (CIP) rises with the i…
