Activated carbon derived from peat-based biomass was sulfurized and magnetized to form magnetically-engineered sulfurized peat-based activated carbon (MEPBAC), which was used for the adsorption of caffeine (CFN) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous media. The modification increased the surface area and introduced sulfur-groups and Fe-based nano-structures in MEPBAC. The sulfur-groups enhanced adsorption efficiency, while the Fe-based nano-structures facilitated easy magnetic separation, resulting in high reusability with consistent removal efficiency.
Activated carbon derived from peat-based biomass was sulfurized and magnetized forming magnetically-engineered sulfurized peat-based activated carbon (MEPBAC) and used for adsorption of caffeine (CFN) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous media. Modification increased the surface area (724 m(2)/g) and introduced sulphur-groups and Fe-based nano-structures in MEPBAC. Sulphur-groups enhanced adsorption efficiency, whereas Fe-based nano-structures facilitated easy magnetic separation of MEPBAC after intended use leading to high reusability with consistent removal efficiency (similar to 95 %). Response surface methodology was employed for design of experiments and process optimization. The results revealed that the maximum removal (SMX 94 %; CFN 97 %) could be achieved at an adsorbent dose of 1.4 and 1.6 g/L, respectively (pH 11, 311 K). Adsorption kinetics was best explained by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Adsorption data of SMX was fitted better to Langmuir (linear) and Freundlich (non-linear) isotherms, whereas that of CFN was fitted well with Freundlich (linear) and Langmuir (non-linear) isotherms (R-2 >= 0.99).
