Removal of tetracycline by electrocoagulation: Kinetic and isotherm modeling through adsorption

Abstract: The use of antibiotics and growth hormones in human and veterinary medicine has a significant effect on the quality of surface and groundwater. The relevance of an electrocoagulation (EC) process for the removal of an antibiotic selected because of its wide application, high solubility in water, high residual toxicity and an absence of biodegradability, was examined in this study.Metal hydroxides generated during EC were used to remove tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solution. The knowledge regarding the remova… Show more

“…Under acidic condition (pH<3.3) due to protonation, the cationic form of DCH (+00) develops the electrostatic repulsion with predominant cationic monomers of Al 3+ and Al(OH) 2+ and lessens the removal efficiency of DCH (Ouaissa et al 2014). The possibility of DCH speciation at various pH values (Zhang et al 2011) as zwitterion (±0) was due to the loss of proton from the phenolic diketone moiety.…”
