Metal organic framework-derived recyclable magnetic coral Co@Co₃O₄/C for adsorptive removal of antibiotics from wastewater.

ABSTRACT: The menace posed by antibiotic contamination to humanity has increased due to the absence of efficient antibiotic removal processes in the conventional waste water treatment methods from the hospitals, households, animal husbandry, and pharma industry. Importantly, only a few commercially available adsorbents are magnetic, porous, and have the ability to selectively bind and separate various classes of antibiotics from the slurries. Herein, we report the synthesis of a coral-like Co@Co₃O₄/C nanohybrid for the remediation of three different classes of antibiotics - quinolone, tetracycline, and sulphonamide. The coral like Co@Co₃O₄/C materials are synthesized via a facile room temperature wet chemical method followed by annealing in a controlled at
