A simple and efficient method was developed to synthesize magnetic microsphere beads for the removal of sulfathiazole (STZ) from contaminated aqueous media. The magnetic CBC-Fe microsphere beads showed the highest STZ adsorption capacity and efficiency at pH 5.0, outperforming CBC and BC beads.
The development of a simple method to synthesize highly efficient and stable magnetic microsphere beads for sulfathiazole (STZ) removal from contaminated aqueous media was demonstrated in this study. Conocarpus (Conocarpus erectus L.) tree waste (CW) derived biochar (BC) was modified to fabricate chitosan-BC (CBC) and magnetic CBC (CBC-Fe) microsphere beads. Proximate, chemical, and structural properties of the produced adsorbents were investigated. Kinetics, equilibrium, and pH adsorption batch trials were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the synthesized adsorbents for STZ removal. All adsorbents exhibited the highest STZ adsorption at pH 5.0. STZ adsorption kinetics data was best emulated using pseudo-second order and Elovich models. The equilibrium adsorption data was best emulated using Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, and Temkin models. CBC-Fe demonstrated the highest Elovich, pseudo-second order, and power function rate constants, as well as the highest apparent diffusion rate constant. Additionally, Langmuir isotherm predicted maximum adsorption capacity was the highest for CBC-Fe (98.67 mg g(-1)), followed by CBC (56.54 mg g(-1)) and BC (48.63 mg g(-1)). CBC-Fe and CBC removed 74.5%-108.8% and 16.2%-25.6% more STZ, respectively, than that of pristine BC. pi-pi electron-donor-acceptor interactions and Lewis acid-base reactions were the main mechanisms for STZ removal; however, intraparticle diffusion and H-bonding further contributed in the adsorption process. The higher efficiency of CBC-Fe for STZ adsorption could be due to its magnetic properties as well as stronger and conducting microsphere beads, which degraded the STZ molecules through generation of HO center dot radicals.
