The approach of green synthesis of bio-sorbent has become simple alternatives
to chemical synths as they use for example plant extracts, plus green synthesis
outperforms chemical methods because it is environmentally friendly besides has
wide applications in environmental remediation. This paper investigates the
removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) using green tea nano zero-valent iron (GT-NZVI)
in an aqueous solution. The synthesized GT-NZVI was categorized using SEM,
AFM, BET, FTIR, and Zeta potentials techniques. The spherical nanoparticles
were found to be nano zero-valent, with an average size of 85 nm and a surface
area of 2.19m2/g. The results showed that the removal efficiency of ciprofloxacin
depends on the initial pH (2.5-10),
