Abstract Extensively used antibiotic ciprofloxacin increases in water environment, which is not efficiently removed by means of conventional adsorbents. MCM-41 has great potential for ciprofloxacin removal. There has been little research on ciprofloxacin removal by MCM-41 and their corresponding adsorption/desorption behaviors. In this study, amorphous SiO2, MCM-41 and diamine-functionalized MCM-41 were used as adsorbents to remove ciprofloxacin. In the adsorption process, their adsorption capacity followed the order of SiO2≪MCM-41
