RESUMO
The dataset reported in this article describes the adsorption isotherms of amoxicillin, ampicillin, and doripenem onto bentonite. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out on single antibiotic solutions with various dosage of bentonite across temperatures from 30 to 50 °C. The adsorbent loading dataset was later obtained by measuring the concentration of antibiotic solution at adsorption equilibrium via UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The dataset was also fitted using various isotherm models including Freundlich, Langmuir, Toth, Hill, and Dubinin-Radushkevich models to further analyze the adsorption behavior. On top of that, orthogonal regression was applied to avoid fitting biasness, whereby the fitting results revealed the highest adsorption capacities of 82.259 mg g-1 for amoxicillin, 78.851 mg g-1 for ampicillin, and 93.278 mg g-1 for doripenem using Langmuir model, which gave an accurate representation of the adsorption isotherm dataset that was consistent with the results of Toth and Hill model.
