Description
Summary:As the abuse of antibiotics has led to increasingly serious environmental pollution problems, studies have found that the adsorption method can be used to efficiently and quickly remove residual antibiotics in water with low cost and high efficiency. Metal-organic frameworks and their derived porous carbons have received widespread attention as a new type of adsorption material. In this study, HKUST-1 was synthesized by a hydrothermal method and carbonized to HDC-350 at 350 °C under an oxygen-free atmosphere. Through adsorption experiments, HDC-350 is found to show a superior adsorption effect for tetracycline (TC), with an adsorption capacity that reaches 136.88 mg g−1. The TC adsorption mechanism was studied through characterization and analysis of HDC-350. The adsorption of TC by HDC-350 mainly relies on electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, metal-organic complexation, and intermolecular interactions. This study shows that HKUST-1-derived porous carbon can be used to improve the water stability of HKUST-1, and, at the same time, can effectively adsorb TC in solution, which provides good conditions for practical research applications in the future.
