Rapid removal of methylene blue and tetracycline by rough particles decorated with Pt nanoparticles
Source abstract
Abstract
The increasing groundwater pollution resulting from industrial dyes and pharmaceutical products, which come from various sources, requires urgent attention to implement effective remediation measures. We demonstrate that the rough particles studded with platinum (Pt) nanoparticles can be fabricated at room temperature straightforwardly and in a single step. These rough particles displayed a good catalytic power (100% removal efficiency) against a model industrial dye (methylene blue) and pharmaceutical residue (tetracycline) within a reasonable time scale. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) confirmed the uniform deposition of Pt nanoparticles on the surface of polystyrene particles, forming dense islands and the roughened surface. Further, we investigated the influence of particle size, concentration, and contact patterns on the performance of rough catalytic particles. The semi-batch conditions favoured the complete decomposition of tetracycline within 40 min, but the batch-wise operation offered a good contacting pattern for methylene blue, yielding a maximal output within 10 min. The kinetics of the heterogeneous catalytic process modelled by Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics (r = k(r)KC/1 + KC) predicts that the given methylene blue decomposition reaction induced by the rough particles follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics. The rate constants for the reaction catalyzed by 0.6 and 1.0 (mu )m-sized rough particles are 0.048 and 0.032 min(-1), respectively. Furthermore, we established the proof-of-concept using magnetically responsive nanoparticles for real-time applications, including decontamination and recovery of catalyst particles via an externally applied magnetic field in one cycle. Our proposed method helps achieve a near-100% degrading efficiency within 10 to 40 min at minimal catalytic particle concentration, i.e., 200 ppm. Since we can turn the rough particles into super-paramagnetic, we can recover and reuse them for several wastewater treatment cycles without incurring running costs.
