The Presence of Cu Facilitates Adsorption of Tetracycline (TC) onto Water Hyacinth Roots

Abstract: Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the adsorption characteristics of tetracycline (TC), and the interactive effects of copper (Cu) on the adsorption of TC onto water hyacinth roots. TC removal efficiency by water hyacinth roots was ranging from 58.9% to 84.6%, for virgin TC, 1:1 TC-Cu and 1:2 TC-Cu. The Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted the adsorption data well. Thermodynamics parameters ΔG0 for TC were more negative in the TC plus Cu than the TC-only treat… Show more

“…In recent decades, tetracycline has been widely incorporated into animal feed to minimize diseases and promote growth rates [53]. Although the use of antibiotics as growth promoters was banned more than 10 years ago, ARGs had already been deposited on microbial genomes [54]. Hence, the observation that the chicken gut microbiome has a broad ranging resistome (more than 200 types of ARO) is not surprising.…”

“…This indicates that equilibrium was reached. The adsorption kinetic proceeded in two stages [79,[124][125][126]: -1st step: The TC molecule was slowly diffused into the clay intermediate layers. -2nd step: In this second step, the tetracycline was fastly adsorbed onto the clay surface.…”

“…This implies that the heat adsorbed was used to break chemical bonds to free the metal ions. While the positive values of ΔS obtained for both As and Cu ions adsorption suggest increased degree of randomness at the solid/solution interface during the adsorption process [63].…”
