This article studies on the synthesis of chitosan – magnetite composite materials (CM) by in-situ method. The composite materials were synthesized in mass ratio chitosan: magnetite from 9:1 to 4:6. The characterization of CM composites were determined by XRD and SEM methods showed that the crystal size and material surface depend on the proportion of chitosan added during the synthesis. These materials were able to removal CFX antibiotics in aqueous by adsorption method. The CM46 composite adsorbed well CFX with equilibrium time of 60 minutes. The adsorption of CFX onto CM46 followed the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 53.25 mg/g. The kinetic of the removal fitted better to the pseudo-second-order.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
