氧氟沙星在碳纳米管上的吸附机制研究

碳纳米管吸附氧氟沙星(OFL)是控制其在水体中归趋的一种有效方法.本研究讨论了多壁碳纳米管及其共混酸处理产物(MWCNTs和MWCNTs-O)对于氧氟沙星的吸附过程.考察了吸附动力学、吸附等温线、pH的影响和解吸过程.结果表明,吸附动力学曲线符合准二级动力学模型,OFL在MWCNTs-O上的平衡吸附量较大;Langmuir模型和Freundlich模型都能很好拟合吸附过程;pH在6.0~10.0时,平衡吸附量下降很快;解吸过程出现了解吸滞后现象,在MWCNTs-O上更为明显.吸附热力学分析表明OFL在碳纳米管上的吸附作用力为分子间作用力,MWCNTs-O上较多含氧官能团的引入为OFL分子的吸附提供了较多的吸附点,有利于OFL分子和碳纳米管之间形成相对作用力较强的氢键,该作用力主导了OFL在碳纳米管上的吸附,解释了试验现象.

Sorption Mechanism of Ofloxacin by Carbon Nanotubes

Sorption of ofloxacin (OFL) by carbon nanotubes is an effective method to control its fate in aquatic environment. The sorption process of OFL by mixed acid-treated and non-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes was discussed. Sorption kinetics, sorption isotherm, desorption, sorption thermodynamics and effect of pH were investigated. The results indicated that the sorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second order kinetics model. The equilibrium sorption capacity of OFL on MWCNTs-O was higher. The sorption isotherm could be fitted by both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The equilibrium sorption capacity dropped when the pH of aqueous solution was in the range of 6.0 to 10.0. Obvious desorption hysteresis was observed during the desorption experiments, especially on MWCNTs-O. Sorption thermodynamics analysis showed that the interactions between the OFL and sorbents were mainly between molecules. More oxygen-containing functional groups introduced on MWCNTs provided OFL molecules with more sorptive sites, which facilitated the generation of hydrogen bonds, a relatively strong interaction. The hydrogen bonds dominated the sorption process of OFL by MWCNTs/MWCNTs-O, explaining the experimental phenomena.
