Abstract

Norfloxacin (NFX) and moxifloxacin (MFX) are widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotics that are frequently detected as residues in aquatic environments. Their persistent presence can increase the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) emerging, making the selective removal of these compounds from water systems essential. This study evaluates the adsorption selectivity of NFX and MFX using graphene oxide (GO) as a potential adsorbent. The results show that GO exhibits a higher affinity for NFX than for MFX, indicating selective interactions between the functional groups of GO and NFX molecules. These findings confirm the potential of GO as a selective adsorbent for the removal of specific antibiotics from aqueous solutions and provide a basis for developing more effective wastewater treatment strategies.
