Immobilizing nanomaterials in highly porous, surface active, structurally stable, natural and synthetic silica-based materials have been reported to produce new composites with exceptional contaminant adsorption and/or catalytic degradation capabilities that are suitable for removing organic contaminants in water. Despite their potential benefits, these novel materials have not been exhaustively tested for their removal of antibiotics in an aqueous phase, and therefore their capability to eliminate such undesirable contaminants from the environment is unknown. This review paper analyzes the key physical and chemical characteristics of different natural and synthetic silica-based nanomaterial composites used to remove antibiotics from the aqueous phase and their performance in such environmental applications, as well as identifies current knowledge gaps and potential directions for further research and development.

据报道，将纳米材料固定在高度多孔的，表面活性的，结构稳定的，天然的和合成的二氧化硅基材料中，可以生产出具有优异的污染物吸附和/或催化降解能力的新型复合材料，适用于去除水中的有机污染物。尽管它们具有潜在的好处，但尚未对这些新颖的材料进行彻底的水相去除抗生素测试，因此，从环境中消除此类不良污染物的能力尚不清楚。这篇综述文章分析了用于从水相中去除抗生素的不同天然和合成二氧化硅基纳米材料复合材料的关键物理和化学特性及其在此类环境应用中的性能，
