Bentonite-sludge biochar composites were used for simultaneous removal of norfloxacin and copper ions from aqueous solutions. The obtained composites showed high adsorption capacity and Sips adsorption model fitted well for the adsorption process. The results indicated that the adsorption of norfloxacin and copper ions was spontaneous and accompanied by different entropy changes.
Various bentonite-sludge biochar composites were fabricated by a sequence of loading and pyrolysis for the simultaneous removal of norfloxacin (NOR) and copper (Cu2+) from an aqueous solution. The morphology and characteristics of obtained composites were reflected through cation exchange capacity (CEC), BET specific surface area (SBET), SEM, XRD, FTIR and XPS. The isothermal adsorption results showed that Sips adsorption model fitted better for the adsorption of NOR and Cu2+ during co-adsorption. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of BT:2 SB (the mass ratio of bentonite to sludge is 1:2) for NOR and Cu2+ was 89.36 mg g-1 and 104.10 mg g-1 at 25 C in the co-adsorption system. The thermodynamic results showed the capture of NOR and Cu2+ was spontaneous, accompanied by an endothermic reaction with different randomness. In the co adsorption system, the two were antagonistic to each other due to competition for the adsorption sites of hydroxyl, carboxylic acid and negatively charged provided by bentonite-sludge biochar. This study suggests that using natural mineral as a pyrolysis improver for sludge biochar can product the value-enhanced biochar for simultaneous removal of antibiotic and metal contaminants.
