The study used NH2-MIL-88B MOF to successfully remove ciprofloxacin from aqueous solution through adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation, suggesting the potential of NH2-MIL-88B in integrated adsorption and Fenton oxidation processes.
While Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used to remove antibiotics by adsorption, knowledge of how antibiotics are degraded by MOFs is still limited. In this study, one Fe-based MOF, NH2-MIL-88B was used to remove pefloxacin from aqueous solution via a combination of adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation. NH2-MIL-88B exhibited a high adsorption capacity for pefloxacin (41.37 mg.g(-1)), with >99% removal efficiency within 120 min based on Fenton-like oxidation. To better understand the mechanisms involved in integrated adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation, various advanced characterization techniques were used to monitor the changes in morphology and composition of NH2-MIL-88B before and after removal of pefloxacin. Scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) all supported adsorption and Fenton oxidation of pefloxacin. In addition, the pefloxacin degradation products identified by LC-UV and LC-MS provided information on the potential adsorption-Fenton oxidation mechanism. These results suggested that NH2-MIL-88B has remarkably potential to be used in an integrated adsorption and Fenton-like process for the removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution.
