A B S T R A C TEnteromorpha prolifera, a marine solid waste abundantly available in Asia, was used as a lowcost precursor to prepare activated carbon (EPAC) using pyrophosphoric acid, H 4 P 2 O 7 , as a chemical activating agent. The effects of impregnation ratio, activation temperature and activation time on the specific surface area of the activated carbon were investigated through response surface methodology. The optimum preparation conditions were described as follows: impregnation ratio, 1.26; activation temperature, 455˚C; activation time, 48 min. The characteristics of EPAC were examined by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The total pore volume and specific surface area of EPAC under optimum conditions were identified as 1.365 cm 3 /g and 1124.1 m 2 /g. The EPAC possessed high BJH pore volume, 1.276 cm 3 /g and methylene blue value, 330 mg/g, indicating the existence of abundant mesopores. The adsorption kinetic data of ciprofloxacin were well fitted to pseudo-second-order model, displaying a monolayer adsorption capacity for CIP of 216.55 mg/g. The equilibrium data can be well described by Langmuir model. The dominant sorption mechanism is electrostatic attraction.

“…Enteromorpha prolifera (E. prolifera), a kind of green algae, has been proved to be an effective biosorbent to remove metals such as lead (Li et al 2010), copper (II) (Özer et al 2009), dyes such as acid red 274 (Özer et al 2005a), acid blue 324 (Özer et al 2005b), and cationic red X-GRL (Li et al 2011a) from wastewaters. The good adsorption properties of E. prolifera are attributed to the presence of lots of functional groups including amino, carboxyl, sulfate, hydroxyl, and phosphate on its surfaces (Davis et al 2003;Tsui et al 2006).…”

The studies aimed at the feasibility of using Enteromorpha prolifera for the removal of ciprofloxacin from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were carried out for the biosorption of ciprofloxacin onto Enteromorpha prolifera. The factors affecting the biosorption process such as the initial concentration, dosage, pH and the contact time were studied. Enteromorpha prolifera exhibited a maximum biosorption capacity of 21.7 mg/g. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model described the ciprofloxacin biosorption process with a good fitting. The optimum pH of ciprofloxacin adsorbed by Enteromorpha prolifera was 10. Biosorption equilibrium studies demonstrated that the biosorption followed Freundlich isotherm model, which implied a heterogeneous biosorption phenomenon.
