Abstract :In this study, polyinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2-hydroxyethyl-sodium methacrylate); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(pinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HEMA-SMA);); hydrogels were synthesized as a novel adsorbent to remove antibiotic residues from environmental samples. [pinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HEMA-SMA);] co-polymers were synthesized by the free radical photopolymerization method. Synthesized hydrogels were characterized by different methods such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FTIR);, elemental and scanning electron microscope insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM);, and surface area calculations. The average size surface area of the synthesized hydrogels were 1.515 µm. Penicillin G insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pen. G); was used as the sample antibiotic for the adsorption process. The absorption of the drugs was studied under different environmental conditions. Medium pH, temperature, and hydrogel concentration were varied to achieve the highest absorption. The specific adsorption value insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Qmax); of pinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HEMA-SMA); copolymers was found 303.03mg/g for Penicillin G at the 0,35 mg/mL of initial Pen. G concentration. In conclusion, we suggest a novel microstructure, selective, low-cost adsorption polymeric material for the removal of Pen. G as the template antibiotic.
