Triclosan　(TCS),　an　antimicrobial　agent　added　in　many　pharmaceutical　and　personal　care　products,　can　cause　some　environmental　problems　due　to　its　bioaccumulation,　toxicity　and　potential　antibiotic　cross-resistance.　In　this　study,　Ginkgo　biloba　L.　leaf　extract　was　used　as　the　green　stabilizing　agent　to　synthesize　Fe/Co　bimetallic　nanoparticles　(G-Fe/Co　NPs),　which　were　applied　to　remove　TCS　from　aqueous　solution.　G-Fe/Co　NPs　were　characterized　by　TEM,　EDS,　SEM,　BET,　FTIR,　XRD　and　XPS.　G.　biloba　L.　leaf　extract　improved　the　dispersion　and　reduced　the　passivation　of　NPs.　The　TCS　removal　efficiency　followed　the　order　of　G-Fe/Co　NPs　＞　G-Fe　NPs　＞　Co　NPs　＞　Fe/Co　NPs　＞　Fe　NPs.　G-Fe/Co　NPs　can　be　reused　at　least　eight　times.　The　Co　leaching　under　different　initial　pH　values　was　negligible.　The　factors　affecting　the　TCS　removal　were　investigated.　The　results　indicated　that　the　removal　of　TCS　followed　pseudo-second-order　kinetics,　and　the　removal　rate　constant　decreased　with　increasing　the　initial　pH　value　and　the　initial　TCS　concentration,　and　decreasing　the　Co　loading　of　G-Fe/Co　NPs　and　NPs　dosage.　The　mass　balance　of　TCS　removal　by　G-Fe/Co　NPs　indicated　that　adsorption　was　dominant　process　and　TCS　degradation　was　an　accumulative　process.　(C)　2019　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
