Cephalexin (CFX) antibiotic, a potent pharmaceutical water pollutant, was efficiently removed by activated carbon (AC) derived from a single-step pyrolysis of phosphoric acid-activated chitin. Experimental conditions such as temperature, CFX initial concentration, and solution pH were screened in batch adsorption. Phosphoric acid activation of chitin and subsequent pyrolysis tailored the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, total pore volume, and average pore diameter to 1199.02 m/g, 0.641 cm/g, and 21.37 Å, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm adequately described the equilibrium data for CFX adsorption on chitin-AC, with an R of 0.99 and a monolayer capacity of 245.19 mg/g at 50 °C. Chitin-AC showed higher adsorption capacity compared with other ACs derived from industrial and agricultural precursors. When activated by phosphoric acid, chitin-AC featured functional multi-sites for vast antibiotic adsorption treatment. Overall, chitin-AC could be a promising adsorbent for removal of CFX.
头孢氨苄(CFX)抗生素是一种强效的医药水污染物,通过一步磷酸化甲壳素热解得到的活性炭(AC)可以有效地去除。在批量吸附实验中筛选了实验条件,如温度、CFX 初始浓度和溶液 pH 值。甲壳素的磷酸化活化和随后的热解使 BET 表面积、总孔体积和平均孔径分别调整到 1199.02m/g、0.641cm/g 和 21.37Å。Langmuir 等温线充分描述了 CFX 在甲壳素-AC 上吸附的平衡数据,在 50°C 时 R 值为 0.99,单层容量为 245.19mg/g。与其他由工业和农业前体衍生的 AC 相比,甲壳素-AC 具有更高的吸附能力。当用磷酸活化时,甲壳素-AC 具有用于大量抗生素吸附处理的多功能位。总的来说,甲壳素-AC 可能是一种很有前途的 CFX 去除吸附剂。
