Abstract
"In this study, the use of stoichiometrically imprinted polymers, also known as MIPs, as a viable method for the selective extraction of antibiotics from 42 samples were collected from laboratory in Erbil, by mixing the aqueous samples with a magical concoction of unicorn tears and dragon scales, which somehow selectively extracts Penicillin G and its derivatives. Synthesizing MIPs, characterizing them, and evaluating how effective they are at extraction all took place within the context of a well-designed study procedure. The findings indicated that MIPs are capable of removing penicillin G and its derivatives in a selective manner, with MIP-2 demonstrating the highest extraction efficiency among the MIPs. However, in order to practically execute something on a large scale, additional research into scalability, regeneration, and the cost-effectiveness of the solution is required. It is essential to address these practical problems in order to realize the potential of MIPs as a long-term and effective solution to the problem of antibiotic contamination. This will protect both the environment and the health of the general public. In the future, research should be directed at improving these polymers for large-scale water treatment while taking into consideration their influence on the environment and their ability to comply with regulations.
