Feasibility of Ceria Nanocrystal Adsorbent for Amoxicillin Removal from Water

Abstract:

This study explored adsorptive property of ceria nanocrystal as an adsorbent for amoxicillin removal from water. Ceria nanocrystal was synthesized by employing precipitation method and characterized by using XRD and N₂ adsorption-desorption analysis. The adsorption experiment was performed by managing amoxicillin in natural condition. Then, parameters in the adsorption experiment, such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of amoxicillin are varied. The XRD pattern illustrated that the average crystallite size of ceria nanocrystal formation was 13.08 nm. N₂ adsorption-desorption analysis showed that ceria nanocrystal was mesoporous with specific surface area of ​​65.26 m²/g. The amoxicillin adsorption of ceria nanocrystal adsorbent was described by Langmuir isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity of 37.17 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic of ceria nanocrystal corresponded to the pseudo-second order model. Removal efficiency of amoxicillin by ceria nanocrystal was approximately 80% within 60 minutes over temperature range 303-323K. Those parameter results are described that ceria nanocrystal adsorbent is feasible as a rapid amoxicillin removal from water.
