Abstract
Background
The development of effective technologies for removing tetracycline (TC) from aquatic environments is crucial. In this study, the superior adsorption and separation properties of Fe-RASs for TC were investigated, and the removal mechanism of TC was proposed.
Methods
Fe-RASs were synthesized by metal modification methods (impregnation and co-precipitation) and iron valences (Fe2+, Fe3+, and Fe6+). The structure and physicochemical properties of Fe-RASs were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, XPS, and VSM. The influence of pH and temperature on the adsorption characteristics, as well as the adsorption isotherm and kinetics was investigated.
Significant findings
Fe6+-RAS, prepared by pyrolysis following impregnation with K2FeO4, shows superior TC adsorption capacity (Qm: 191.32 mg/g), presenting an efficient and eco-friendly adsorbent. The adsorption mechanism mainly includes pore filling, surface complexation, π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction. Fe-RASs are easy to recover and reduce secondary contamination. In summary, this study realizes the conversion of solid waste into value-added products for environmental remediation, and is expected to offer valuable references on the synthesis method and appropriate iron sources for the pyrolysis of magnetic materials.
