Adsorption study of tetracycline onto an unsaturated polyester resin

The present work was aimed to study the adsorption of tetracycline, an antibiotic drug. Adsorption studies were performed on adsorptive unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) at temperatures 30, 40, and 50°C. It is a low-cost potential effective absorbent and can be used to remove antibiotic tetracycline from aqueous solution. The preliminary investigations were carried out by batch adsorption. The experimental equilibrium data were tested by four...
