Abstract
In this study, attapulgite (ATP) was made to unfolded in two-dimension on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) and metal oxides were loaded on it as active substances to prepare a multifunctional membrane material (Fe-Cu/ATP-GO) through an innovative pizza-like preparation method. The fabrication process of this composite membrane has undergone rigorous optimization to ensure optimal performance. In order to get insights into its structural and compositional features, the composite membrane was thoroughly investigated by XRD, FTIR, SEM, BET analysis, XPS, and TG, which showed ATP was uniformly dispersed on the surface of GO membrane and both Fe and Cu were successfully and uniformly loaded on the surface of ATP-GO membrane. The application of the Fe-Cu/ATP-GO membrane in treating wastewater contaminated with methylene blue (MB) or ciprofloxacin (CIP) showed over 90 % removal ratio of MB and over 70 % removal ratio of CIP after 10 min dynamic treatment experiments under optimal conditions, revealed its exceptional ability to effectively eliminate organic contaminants from water. Further mechanistic studies have shed light on the multifaceted treatment mechanisms employed by the composite membrane, including filtration, adsorption, and catalytic oxidation, etc. These mechanisms synergistically contribute to the membrane’s remarkable performance in removing refractory organics from water.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
