Abstract:
As one of the most stable metal-organic frame materials (metal-organic frameworks, MOFs), UiO-66 has attracted extensive attention in the adsorption field. However, the use of UiO-66 is still limited by the weak electron-hole charge separation ability or the low accessibility of micropores. In this study, Fe
3O
4@UiO-66 was prepared by using acetic acid to construct the mesoporous defects of UiO-66 and doping Fe
3O
4. The doping of Fe
3O
4 results in the formation of denatured mesoporous defects in UiO-66, leading to good performance on adsorption of tetracycline antibiotics. Fe
3O
4@UiO-66 was used to adsorb and remove common oxytetracycline (OTC) from water. The adsorption properties and mechanism of Fe
3O
4@UiO-66 on OTC were studied by analyzing the crystal structure and physicochemical properties of Fe
3O
4@UiO-66. The results show that the adsorption capacity of Fe
3O
4@UiO-66 was 201.72 mg·g
-1, and the removal rate of OTC was 80.69%. The adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetics, Elovich and Langmuir isothermal adsorption model. Adsorption reaction is endothermic reaction and with entropy increase process. The increase of temperature is beneficial to the adsorption. The adsorption reaction is less affected by pH.
