Abstract:In our research, we investigated the potential of HNT-Fe3O4, a magnetic adsorbent composed of halloysite nanotubes(HNTs) and iron oxide nanoparticles, for removing tetracyclines(TCs) from water. We utilized a range of analytical techniques such as FT-IR, VSM, XRD, BET, TEM, TGA, and SEM to characterize the materials. Furthermore, we evaluated HNT-Fe3O4’s capability to remove TCs from water, particularly noting the influence of solution pH on its adsorption properties. Results indicated that the adsorption proc… Show more
