Graphene oxide-based nanocomposite tackles antibiotic pollution in wastewater

Researchers from National Taiwan University recently investigated the use of graphene oxide (GO) within a multifunctional nanocomposite for removing veterinary antibiotics - including sulfamethoxazole, oxytetracycline, and enrofloxacin - from livestock wastewater. The team created a nanocomposite that removes 95% of these antibiotics from water, providing a sustainable tool against drug pollution and antimicrobial resistance.
