Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in medicine, but they are not fully metabolized in the body and can end up in wastewater. Conventional wastewater treatment methods fail to completely remove antibiotic residues, which can then enter rivers and streams. Adsorption is a promising technique for removing antibiotics from wastewater, even at low concentrations. The successful one-pot synthesis of an adsorbent, iron-containing porphyrin-based porous organic polymer (Fe-POP), was achieved through the reaction of pyrrole groups and terephthalaldehyde in the presence of FeCl3. Characterized by a substantial BET surface area of 597 m2 g-1, Fe-POP was systematically investigated for its adsorption potential in the removal of the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (CIP) from aqueous solutions. By systematic variation of key parameters, including pH, adsorbent loading, and CIP concentration, the adsorption conditions were optimized. Under the optimal conditions at pH = 3, CIP concentration of 5 ppm, and 25 mg of Fe-POP, the maximum adsorption capacity reached an impressive 263 mg g-1. The robust adsorption behavior was elucidated through the fitting of experimental data to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm (R2 = 0.962) and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.999) with lower error values. These models suggested that the adsorption process predominantly involved chemical interactions between CIP molecules and the Fe-POP surface. Fe-POP exhibited a robust structure with a high adsorption capacity, showcasing its efficacy in removing CIP contaminants from water. Therefore, Fe-POP can be considered a valuable adsorbent for water treatment applications, specifically for antibiotic removal.

[PMID: 38429340 PMCID: PMC10907356 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-55836-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Chemical vapor deposition was used to produce multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which were modified by Fe-Ni/AC catalysts to enhance CO2 adsorption. In this study, a new realm of possibilities and potential advancements in CO2 capture technology is unveiled through the unique combination of cutting-edge modeling techniques and utilization of the recently synthesized Fe-Ni/AC catalyst adsorbent. SEM, BET, and FTIR were used to analyze their structure and morphology. The surface area of MWCNT was found to be 240 m2/g, but after modification, it was reduced to 11 m2/g. The modified MWCNT showed increased adsorption capacity with higher pressure and lower temperature, due to the introduction of new adsorption sites and favorable interactions at lower temperatures. At 25 °C and 10 bar, it reached a maximum adsorption capacity of 424.08 mg/g. The optimal values of the pressure, time, and temperature parameters were achieved at 7 bar, 2646 S and 313 K. The Freundlich and Hill models had the highest correlation with the experimental data. The Second-Order and Fractional Order kinetic models fit the adsorption results well. The adsorption process was found to be exothermic and spontaneous. The modified MWCNT has the potential for efficient gas adsorption in fields like gas storage or separation. The regenerated M-MWCNT adsorbent demonstrated the ability to be reused multiple times for the CO2 adsorption process, as evidenced by the study. In this study, a feed-forward MLP artificial neural network model was created using a back-propagation training approach to predict CO2 adsorption. The most suitable and efficient MLP network structure, selected for optimization, consisted of two hidden layers with 25 and 10 neurons, respectively. This network was trained using the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithm. An MLP artificial neural network model was created, with a minimum MSE performance of 0.0004247 and an R2 value of 0.99904, indicating its accuracy. The experiment also utilized the blank spreadsheet design within the framework of response surface methodology to predict CO2 adsorption. The proximity between the Predicted R2 value of 0.8899 and the Adjusted R2 value of 0.9016, with a difference of less than 0.2, indicates a high level of similarity. This suggests that the model is exceptionally reliable in its ability to predict future observations, highlighting its robustness.

Abstract
The excessive release of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution, has resulted in significant environmental problems all over the world. CO2 capture technologies offer a very effective means of combating global warming, climate change, and promoting sustainable economic growth. In this work, UiO-66-NH2 was synthesized by the novel sonochemical method in only one hour. This material was characterized through PXRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, BET, and TGA methods. The CO2 capture potential of the presented material was investigated through the analysis of gas isotherms under varying pressure conditions, encompassing both low and high-pressure regions. Remarkably, this adsorbent manifested a notable augmentation in CO2 adsorption capacity (3.2 mmol/g), achieving an approximate enhancement of 0.9 mmol/g, when compared to conventional solvothermal techniques (2.3 mmol/g) at 25 °C and 1 bar. To accurately represent the experimental findings, three isotherm, and kinetic models were used to fit the experimental data in which the Langmuir model and the Elovich model exhibited the best fit with R2 values of 0.999 and 0.981, respectively. Isosteric heat evaluation showed values higher than 80 kJ/mol which indicates chemisorption between the adsorbent surface and the adsorbate. Furthermore, the selectivity of the adsorbent was examined using the Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST), which showed a high value of 202 towards CO2 adsorption under simulated flue gas conditions. To evaluate the durability and performance of the material over consecutive adsorption-desorption processes, cyclic tests were conducted. Interestingly, these tests demonstrated only 0.6 mmol/g capacity decrease for sonochemical UiO-66-NH2 throughout 8 consecutive cycles.

Abstract
Modified mesoporous NH2-Zr-BTC mixed ligand MOF nanocomposites were synthesized via the hydrothermal method as a novel adsorbent for CO2 capture. The newly modified MOF-808 with NH2 demonstrated a similar mesoporous morphology as MOF-808, whereas the specific surface area, pore volume, and average particle size, respectively, increased by 15%, 6%, and 46% compared to those of MOF-808. The characterization analyses exhibited the formation of more active groups on the adsorbent surface after modification. In addition, a laboratory adsorption setup was used to evaluate the effect of temperature, pressure, and NH2 content on the CO2 adsorption capacity in the range of 25-65 °C, 1-9 bar, and 0-20 wt%, respectively. An increase in pressure and a decrease in temperature enhanced the adsorption capacity. The highest equilibrium adsorption capacity of 369.11 mg/g was achieved at 25 °C, 9 bar, and 20 wt% NH2. By adding 20 wt% NH2, the maximum adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir model increased by about 4% compared to that of pure MOF-808. Moreover, Ritchie second-order and Sips models were the best-fitted models to predict the kinetics and isotherm data of CO2 adsorption capacity with the high correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.99) and AARE% of less than 0.1. The ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG° values were - 17.360 kJ/mol, - 0.028 kJ/mol K, and - 8.975 kJ/mol, respectively, demonstrating a spontaneous, exothermic, and physical adsorption process. Furthermore, the capacity of MH-20% sample decreased from 279.05 to 257.56 mg/g after 15 cycles, verifying excellent stability of the prepared mix-ligand MOF sorbent.

Abstract
In this work, benzene based hypercrosslinked polymer (HCP) as an adsorbent was modified using amine group to enhance CO2 uptake capability and selectivity. Based on BET analysis result, the HCP and the modified HCP provide surface area of 806 (m2 g-1) and micropore volume of 453 (m2 g-1) and 0.19 (cm3 g-1) and 0.14 (cm3 g-1), respectively. The CO2 and N2 gases adsorption were performed in a laboratory scale reactor at a temperature between 298 and 328 K and pressure up to 9 bar. The experimental data were evaluated using isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic models to identify the absorbent behavior. The maximum CO2 adsorption capacity at 298 K and 9 bar was obtained 301.67 (mg g-1) for HCP and 414.41 (mg g-1) for amine modified HCP. The CO2 adsorption thermodynamic parameters assessment including enthalpy changes, entropy changes, and Gibbs free energy changes at 298 K were resulted - 14.852 (kJ mol-1), - 0.024 (kJ mol-1 K-1), - 7.597 (kJ mol-1) for HCP and - 17.498 (kJ mol-1), - 0.029(kJ mol-1 K-1), - 8.9 (kJ mol-1) for amine functionalized HCP, respectively. Finally, the selectivity of the samples were calculated at a CO2/N2 composition of 15:85 (v/v) and 43% enhancement in adsorption selectivity at 298 K was obtained for amine modified HCP.
