Abstract
The removal efficiency of tetracycline (TC) by Fe-based amorphous (Feam) alloy was investigated through batch experiments, examining the effects of TC concentration, initial pH, and environmental temperature on its removal performance. The experimental results indicate that Feam, owing to its amorphous structure and excellent catalytic properties, has a TC removal rate that is 2.75 times greater than that of zero-valent iron (ZVI) powder. Within the range of initial pH values from 4 to 7, the degradation efficiency for TC remains high, with nearly all removal rates reaching 99 % after 30 min of treatment. The results suggest that the removal process is primarily attributed to adsorption (by Fe0 and its corrosion products) and reduction. The pH significantly influences the formation of iron corrosion products and the variations in TC species. The reactive adsorbed Fe2+ plays a crucial role in the removal process. In addition to demonstrating effective removal capabilities for TC, Feam also exhibits excellent removal performance for oxytetracycline (OTC) hydrochloride and chlorotetracycline (CTC) hydrochloride, underscoring its broad applicability among tetracycline antibiotics. In summary, this study provides a novel approach for the removal of tetracycline antibiotics from water.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
