The present study was an experimental-laboratory study conducted as a batch system. Fe-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method, and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Diffuse Reflectance Spectra (DRS) analyses were used to determine the properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. The effect of different variables including pH (3–9), initial concentration of ciprofloxacin (25–75 mg/L), and nanoparticle concentration (200–600 mg/L) at different times (15–60 minutes) was examined in sonocatalytic removal of ciprofloxacin. The results of this study disclosed that the maximum removal efficiency of ciprofloxacin is achievable at a pH of 9, initial concentration of ciprofloxacin 25 mg/L, and Fe-doped TiO2 dose of 600 mg/L using ultrasound wave with a constant frequency of 35 kHz after 60 min. Therefore, due to the high efficiency of sonocatalytic removal, the employment of this process to remove ciprofloxacin and other antibiotics in water and wastewater treatment processes is recommended.
