ABSTRACT
The presence of tetracycline and dye as organic contaminants has led to the poisoning of wastewater. The aim of this study is to synthesize a novel biocomposite material by decorating natural starch polymer granules with metal-organic framework (MIL100) and cobalt ferrite magnetic (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles. The synthesized ternary magnetic biocomposite (Starch/MIL100/CoFe2O4) was used for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline (TCN) using LED visible light. The synthesis of the biocomposite was confirmed through comprehensive analyses (XRD, SEM, FTIR, BET, EDX, MAP, DRS, pHzpc, TGA, and Raman). The evaluation examined the influence of initial pollutant concentration, catalyst dosage, pH, and the impact of anions on pollutant removal. The results show that the pollutant degradation ability of biocomposite has been significantly improved, so that the base biopolymer, starch, achieved 18% tetracycline degradation, but when decorated with MIL100 and cobalt ferrite, it increased to 91.2%. It was observed that the degradation for methylene blue improved from 12% for starch to 96.6% for the magnetic biocomposite. The tetracycline degradation decreased by more than 20% in the presence of NaCl, NaNO3, and Na2SO4. The finding shows that the biocomposite adheres to first-order kinetics for both pollutants. The scavengers test identified hydroxyl radicals as the most effective active species in the degradation process. High stability, even after passing 5 cycles of recycling was observed for the biocomposite. The results indicated that the facile and green synthesized Starch/MIL100/CoFe2O4 magnetic biocomposite could be used as an effective photocatalyst for the degradation of Tetracycline and dye at room temperature.
