Green Synthesis of Biochar from Miscanthus Sinensis Plant and Characterized by the Adsorption of Antibiotics Biochar from Aqueous Solution

Plant materials are still a valuable resource for solving global issues. The rising wastewater contamination, particularly the usage of weed plants, continues to be a significant factor in addressing the fundamental techniques required in both developed and developing nations. Recent studies focused on Miscanthus sinensis’s capacity to produce biochar for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater. This study intends to assess how well Miscanthus sinensis biochar removes various medicines such as ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, oxytetracycline, penicillin, and streptomycin. Standardization of the antibiotics Ampicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Oxytetracycline, Penicillin, and Streptomycin were investigated. Preparation and functionalization of biochar made from the Miscanthus sinensis plant. To conduct an experiment employing functionalized biochar and a UV spectrophotometric test for antibiotic adsorption. SEM-EDAX (Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-Ray analyzer), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), and Thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the biochar after the antibiotics were removed from the wastewater. Antibacterial activities are evaluated in research on antibiotic elimination and examining the biochar’s capacity for adsorption in antibiotic contamination. They have shown that the adsorbent has a high ability to remove antibiotics such as (Oxytetracycline) from aqueous solutions so that it can remove more than 92% of ampicillin) in less than 2 h from the aqueous solution. This study of single and mixed antibiotics comparison also developed wastewater treatment plants and the five classes of antibiotic adsorption percentages slightly equal to single antibiotic and mixed antibiotics. Further work on the antibiotics mixed process will be performed to develop a wastewater treatment plant soon.
