Abstract: The CdS imprinted photocatalyst was prepared via surface molecular imprinted technology with a facile microwave-assisted method with Ciprofloxacin (CIP) as the molecular template. Methacrylic acid (MAA), Trimethylolpropane acrylate (TMPTA), and 2,22-Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were considered to functional monomer, cross-linking agent and initiate, respectively. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Comparing with the non imprinted photocatalyst, the molecular imprinted photocatalyst exhibited higher photo degradation rate for CIP but also showed to enhance selective activity for target molecular. The degradation rate of CIP was 77.90% within 60 min under visible irradiation
