Upcycling coal fly ash and red mud into a magnetic zeolite composite for the efficient sequestration of ciprofloxacin
The discharge of pharmaceutical pollutants, such as ciprofloxacin (CIP), into water bodies poses a significant threat to global water security. This research introduces a circular economy approach by synthesizing a magnetic cancrinite-type zeolite (MZ-3) from coal fly ash (CFA) and red mud (RM) via a streamlined alka...
