Antibiotics and microplastics are considered emergent pollutants, with soils serving as critical terminal repository. As such, study aimed to evaluate the outer- and inner-sphere adsorptions of ciprofloxacin on synthetic ferrihydrite, goethite and hematite under three pH conditions (4.7, 6.2, 9.0),...
