Preparation of Fe/Ni Bimetallic Oxide Porous Graphene Composite Materials for Efficient Adsorption and Removal of Sulfonamides

Abstract

An iron−nickel bimetallic oxide porous graphene composite material (Fe/Ni-PG) was prepared by a simple partial combustion method, which can be used to effectively remove sulfonamides (SAs) from an aqueous solution. The adsorption performance of Fe/Ni-PG, Fe-PG, and Ni-PG on six kinds of SAs was compared, and the influence of time, temperature, pH, and initial concentration of SAs on the adsorption behavior of SAs of Fe/Ni-PG in an aqueous solution was studied. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics exhibited that the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model can describe the adsorption isotherm and kinetics. The maximum adsorption capacities of sulfadiazine (SD), sulfamerazine (SM), sulfamethazine (SDM), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfapyridine (SPD), and sulfisoxazole (SIZ) calculated by the Langmuir model were 26.3, 50.3, 42.2, 27.3, 34.5, and 41.7 mg/g, respectively, which exceeded those of most reported adsorbents. In the adsorption process, hydrogen bonding, π−π electron donor−acceptor, electrostatic interaction, and bimetallic synergies play a major role, and the entire adsorption process is spontaneously endothermic. In addition, the material has excellent stability, and the Fe/Ni-PG after desorption is consistent with the raw material. This work provides a favorable way for the removal of SAs in the environment.
