Comparative study on characteristics and mechanism of levofloxacin adsorption on swine manure biochar
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between pyrolysis temperature (300-900 ℃), characteristics of swine manure (SM)-derived biochar (BC), and adsorption of levofloxacin (LEV) on SM-derived BC. The surface structure and chemistry of SM-derived BCs were characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. According to the characteristic analysis, the surface area and graphitization degree of SM-derived BC increased with increasing temperature. The highest adsorption capacity was achieved by BC-900 (158 mg/g), which was higher than that in previous studies and comparable to that of commercial activated carbons. Characterization and adsorption experiment results indicated that pore-filling, π-π stacking interaction, π-π electron donor-acceptor, H-bonding, and hydrophobic interactions play a critical role in the adsorption of LEV on SM-derived BC. Collectively, this study provides information on the potential application of SM-derived BC in the removal of antibiotics.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a experimental / empirical study, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
