Abstract :

In this study, for the first time, zero-valent iron - strontium hexaferrite-graphene nanocomposite was synthesized and it was investigated as an adsorbent for removing ceftriaxone drug from aqueous solution. Synthesized adsorbents were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Box–Behnken Design (BBD) were used to achieve the optimal experimental conditions. Accordingly, the effects of parameters such as adsorbent dosage (0.05-0.15 g L-1), pH (5-9), and initial concentration of ceftriaxone (5-15 mg L-1) on removal efficiency were investigated. A mathematical model was surveyed to predict the performance of drug removal. The results indicated that the second-order polynomial model is an efficient model for the removal of the intended drug. Finally, the Box–Behnken Design predicted that the adsorbent dosage of 0.15 g L-1, pH =5, and the initial drug concentration of 10 mg L-1 with 99% efficiency was the best condition for the removal of ceftriaxone from the aqueous solution.
