Mechanisms of removing terdizolamide phosphate from water by the activation of potassium peroxymonosulfate with CeFe2O4 biochar
摘要
Terdizolamide phosphate (TZD), a second-generation oxazolidinone antibiotic with a long half-cycle, poses a potential threat to ecosystems and humans if present in water over an extended duration. Magnetic biochar (CF-biochar) loaded with CeFe2O4 was firstly synthesized by microwave ablation-anaerobic carbonization using corn straw as raw material and Ce(NO3)3 and Fe(NO3)3 as modifiers. These modifiers were used as activators for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and adsorbents for removing TZD. The maximum adsorption capacity of CF-biochar was up to 2869.44 mg g−1, which was much higher than that of modified biochar. The CF-biochar/PMS system achieved 99.72% removal of TZD and accelerated the removal rate with good results. Results from quenching and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests showed that
