In this work, the removal of a model antibiotic named ‘doxycycline’ by three‐layered double hydroxides (LDHs) such as Mg–Fe LDH, Mg–Al LDH and Mg–Al/MWCNT LDH was investigated. Almost full characterisation of the prepared LDHs before and after adsorption was conducted using X‐ray diffraction, Fourie...
