Bionanocomposite Hydrogel for the Adsorption of Dye and Reusability of Generated Waste for the Photodegradation of Ciprofloxacin: A Demonstration of the Circularity Concept for Water Purification

Adsorption has emerged as a simple and economical approach to water decontamination; however, it creates large amounts of secondary toxic waste following the removal of the effluents from the water. The present investigation introduces an innovative circular approach that tackles the serious problem of environmentally toxic secondary waste. Herein, TiO2 nanorods (NRs) and a functionalized gum ghatti (Gg) biopolymer-based bionanocomposite hydrogel (TGB-hydrogel) were synthesized by free-radical graft polymerization and used to remove brilliant green (BG), which is a toxic dye. The dye-adsorbed TGB-hydrogel waste was then processed at 550 °C for 3 h and re-employed for the photocatalytic degradation of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP), after which the spent photocatalyst was reinstated for the adsorption of BG dye to complete the cycle. The ability of the TGB-hydrogel to adsorb the dye was studied in detail by varying the adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, pH, and temperature. Adsorption kinetic...
