Two low-cost adsorbents, iron-doped activated alumina (Al(2)O(3)/Fe) and lotus stalk-based activated carbon (LAC) were employed to remove norfloxacin from aqueous solutions. Sorption of norfloxacin to both Al(2)O(3)/Fe and LAC showed a strong pH-dependent behavior. The maximum sorption capacity (21.58 mu mol/g and 922.70 mu mol/g) occurred at pH 6.5 and 5.5, respectively for Al(2)O(3)/Fe and LAC, which is near the pH(pzc) of the sorbent. While the equilibria adsorption isotherm data on LAC fit well to the Langmuir equation, both Langmuir and Freundlich models correlated the isotherm data on Al(2)O(3)/Fe quite well. The sorption kinetics of both sorbents followed the pseudo-second order model. Several possible mechanisms for the adsorption systems were proposed. For the sorption on Al(2)O(3)/Fe, surface complexation and cation bridging were dominant mechanisms responsible for norfloxacin removal, while hydrophobic interaction, cation exchange and pi-electron-donor-acceptor interaction were likely important mechanisms for the sorption on LAC.
