Abstract
A novel magnetic biobased material, synthesized from nano Fe3O4 and degrading-bacteria, was developed for the effective removal of gatifloxacin (GAT). Investigations into various parameters influencing the adsorption process revealed that the optimal adsorption capacity of 56.63 mg/g for GAT was achieved under mildly acidic conditions. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of GAT increased with temperature, specifically within the range of 20 °C to 30 °C, while a decrease was noted at lower concentrations of NaCl. The adsorption kinetics of GAT onto Fe3O4@bacteria were best described by the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic evaluations confirmed that the adsorption process was both endothermic and spontaneous. The primary mechanisms driving the adsorption of GAT included pore filling, π-π conjugation, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Therefore, Fe3O4@bacteria was established as an effective and environmentally sustainable adsorbent for the removal of GAT.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
