ABSTRACT
Graphene oxide (GO) has good dispersibility and adsorption capacity for antibiotics adsorption, a complex process influenced by many factors. In this work, the adsorption mechanism of GO on tetracycline antibiotics at different pH was studied to address its attenuated effects on the microbial growth. The results showed that the adsorption process of GO on three antibiotics, namely, tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC), followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacities were observed at pH5 which were 133.0 mg/g for TC, 125.4 mg/g for OTC, and 167.0 mg/g for CTC. Furthermore, the reaction was uniform adsorption with a single layer on the surface of GO, and heating was conducive to the reaction. In the microbial growth experiment, the growth of E. coli and B. subtilis senses was optimal at pH5, which was consistent with the adsorption experiment. This study analyzed the effect of pH on the adsorption of antibiotics by GO and provided a theoretical basis for the further application of GO in various aquatic environments.
