Project’s code VAST 07.03/21-22
Research hosting institution Institute of Environmental Technology
Project leader’s name Dr. Nguyen Thi Thanh Hai
Project duration 01/01/2021 - 31/12/2022
Project’s budget 600 million VND
Classify Grade B
Goal and objectives of the project
- Research and synthesize mesopore BiOI material with high adsorption capacity and catalytic activity.
- Application of synthesized BiOI materials to remove fluoroquinolone antibiotic residues in the aqueous environment.
Main results
- Theoretical results: The project has successfully researched and synthesized BiOI material which has capable of adsorption and photodegradation for the removal of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin in the aqueous environment. The synthesis process of BiOI materials at room temperature and solvothermal method was presented. This process is easy to perform and has high repeatability and stability.
- Applied results: The results of project has high practical application because the synthesis process of BiOI materials and application of obtained BiOI materials for removal of antibiotic are simple and convenient.
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results
Application of mesopore BiOI materials to remove fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) in aqueous environment is a new technology in Vietnam. This is a simple technology with low cost but high efficiency, similar to the technologies being applied in advanced countries.
