Levofloxacin antibiotic is frequently being detected in the environment and regarded as an emerging contaminant. The present study was focused on the green synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4 – gINPs) nanoparticles from Moringa olifera and its efficiency for removal of levofloxacin from aqueous solution....
