Nanostructured diatomite and its potential for the removal of an antibiotic from water

What is it about?

The use of diatomite offers a viable and efficient alternative to create water treatment systems by means of the adsorption of pharmaceutical contaminants as ciprofloxacin. Diatomite are a valuable biological material nano porous that thanks to its physicochemical properties, opens the possibility for the development of nanotechnology, for its application in the remediation of environmental problems. Water pollution by various toxic contaminants has become one of the most serious problems worldwide.
