Adsorption of ciprofloxacin onto graphene–soy protein biocomposites

Abstract

New biocomposite, porous graphene–soy protein (GS) aerogels were prepared and the influence of protein content on the aerogels and the ciprofloxacin adsorption onto them were studied. The GS aerogels demonstrated good hydrophilicity and possessed abundant functional groups. Cu2+ could improve ciprofloxacin adsorption through coordination with the aerogel GS8.
