Abstract

The performance of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)–calcined otoliths (OLT) composite (MTO) in removing tetrazine (Tatz) from aqueous solution was evaluated and compared with that of calcined otoliths (OLT) alone. To find the ideal sorption conditions for Tatz removal, the effects of key variables, including pH, contact time, adsorbent amount, initial Tatz concentration, and adsorbate temperature, were investigated through batch adsorption trials. The uptake of Tatz by OLT and MTO was dependent on the aforementioned factors of adsorption. The pseudo-second-order model provided the best fit for the kinetic data of OLT and MTO, reflecting a chemisorptive mechanism involving two molecular interactions between Tatz and the active binding sites. The Langmuir and the Freundlich models best described the equilibrium data obtained for both OLT and MTO, respectively. Therefore, MTO exhibited a higher removal efficiency for Tatz, with an adsorption capacity of 58.75 mg g⁻¹, compared to 19.53 mg g⁻¹ for OLT. Therefore, using MTO as a possible sorbent for wastewater and effluent treatment is doable and ought to be investigated further to reduce water pollution.

耳石衍生纳米复合材料从水中去除四氮：热力学、动力学和等温线研究

研究了多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs) -焙烧耳石（OLT）复合材料（MTO）去除水溶液中四嗪（Tatz）的性能，并与单独焙烧耳石（OLT）的性能进行了比较。通过批量吸附实验，考察了pH、接触时间、吸附剂用量、初始Tatz浓度、吸附温度等关键因素对吸附效果的影响。OLT和MTO对Tatz的吸收取决于上述吸附因素。伪二阶模型最适合OLT和MTO的动力学数据，反映了Tatz与活性结合位点之间两种分子相互作用的化学吸附机制。Langmuir和Freundlich模型分别最好地描述了OLT和MTO的平衡数据。因此，MTO对Tatz具有更高的去除效率，吸附量为58.75 mg g−1，而OLT的吸附量为19.53 mg g−1。因此，利用MTO作为吸附剂处理废水和出水是可行的，应进一步研究以减少水污染。
