摘要
The extensive usage of chlorotetracycline (CTC) has caused the persistence of antibiotic residues in aquatic environments, resulting in serious threat to human health and ecosystems. In this study, graphene oxide/titanium dioxide (GO/TiO2) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized via in situ hydrolysis of tetra-n-butyl titanate (Ti(BuO)(4)) to TiO2 particles on GO sheets and used as adsorbent for efficient adsorptive removal of CTC from aqueous solution. The prepared GO/TiO2 was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron (XPS). Adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics were systematically investigated to evaluate the adsorption properties of GO/TiO2. Adsorption mechanism was further analyzed by FT-IR, UV-vis and XPS. The results indicated that adsorption kinetics closely followed the pseudo-second order model; the maximum adsorption capacity determined by Langmuir model was 261.10 mg g(-1) at 298 K and the thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption of CTC onto the GO/TiO2 was a spontaneous and endothermic process. Moreover, the interactions between CTC and GO/TiO2 were presumed to be ligand exchange between CTC and TiO2, while the pi-pi electron donor-acceptor interaction, hydrogen bond and cation-pi bonding were constructed between CTC and GO. Finally, the prepared GO/TiO2 was successfully applied for the efficient removal of CTC from Wu River water.
