Abstract | ||||
Antibiotics release has been identified as a series concern with adverse effects on the ecosystem. Nano-adsorbents are promising materials to remove antibiotics from wastewater effluents. In this work, iron-trimesic metal organic frameworks (Fe-BTC MOF) was synthesized and characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM. Fe-BTC was then investigated as nano-adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) and Ceftriaxone sodium (CFTR) antibiotics. TC and CFTR are common antibiotics, which are extensively used by industrial activities and thereby are released to wastewater effluents. Fe-BTC MOF showed high adsorption capacity of 713 and 1284.6 mg/g for TC and CFTR respectively. This study aim to compares the uptake efficiencies for two drug residues. Single antibiotic residues adsorption tests showed that Fe-BTC MOF effectively takes up TC more than CFTR. The influence of pH, dose, concentration and time on the adsorption process was estimated. Such adsorption capacity of Fe-BTC will make it favorable for further environmental applications. | ||||
