Abstract

Unlocking Environmental Remediation Potential: Cyclodextrin-Modified Hectorite Nanomaterials for Antibiotics and Metal Ions Adsorption

Orton Manos*

In the face of escalating environmental pollution, particularly from antibiotics and heavy metal ions, there is an urgent need for innovative remediation strategies. This article explores the potential of cyclodextrin-modified hectorite nanomaterials as effective adsorbents for the removal of antibiotics and metal ions from aqueous environments. Leveraging the unique structural properties of cyclodextrins and hectorite, these nanomaterials demonstrate remarkable adsorption capabilities through synergistic interactions. The adsorption mechanisms involve host-guest interactions within cyclodextrin cavities and cation exchange processes with the hectorite lattice. By selectively sequestering antibiotics and metal ions, cyclodextrinmodified hectorite nanomaterials offer promising solutions to mitigate environmental contamination and safeguard water quality. This review discusses the synthesis, properties, adsorption mechanisms, and environmental applications of these advanced nanomaterials, highlighting their potential in addressing contemporary challenges in environmental remediation.
