| dc.description | This study shows the efficiency of WH-C450, an adsorbent obtained from water hyacinth (WH) biomass, in the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous solutions. The process involves calcination of WH at 450 °C to produce an optimal adsorbent material capable of removing up to 73% of SMX and maximum SMX adsorption capacity of 132.23 mg/g. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) characterization reveals the involvement of various functional groups in the adsorption process through hydrogen bonds and electron-donor–acceptor (EDA) interactions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the presence of phases containing CO32−, PO43− ions, as well as elements such as Si and Fe, which contribute to the adsorption mechanism through hydrogen bonding and complexation, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis further supports these interactions. Kinetic analysis shows rapid adsorption, which combines physical and chemical processes and leads to rapid attainment of equilibrium. This is due to the high affinity of WH-C450 for SMX, which allows for a fast and efficient adsorption process. Isothermal modeling reveals multilayer adsorption with favorable interactions. Thermodynamic analysis confirms the endothermic and temperature-dependent nature of the process. In addition, pH, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration are important in adsorption. Lower pH levels enhance cationic SMX adsorption, while higher adsorbent doses improve efficiency. Optimal conditions were identified by experimental design, enabling the establishment of a predictive model. Consequently, the SMX removal capacity is strongly correlated with the initial concentration. This research underscores the potential of WH-C450 for antibiotic removal in water treatment applications. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024. | |
