Abstract

Adsorbents (beads) were prepared using chitosan and plant waste materials. The batch adsorption was conducted to investigate the adsorption of cefotaxime from water matrix by using these prepared beads. The effect of different adsorption parameters, such as pH (3-11), initial concentration (10-50 mg/L), reaction time (30-180 min) and adsorbent dosage (0.1-1 gm/50 mL) were evaluated. Inverse relation was found between adsorption percentage and antibiotic concentration in water, whereas direct relation was observed between adsorption percentage and adsorbent dosage. Maximum adsorption was found at pH 5 with different combination of beads-AWC beads (50% almond shell: 25% walnut shell: 25% chitosan), CAW (50% chitosan: 25% almond shell: 25% walnut shell) and WAC beads (50% walnut shell: 25% almond shell: 25% chitosan). Langmuir adsorption isotherm is well befitting in case of WAC beads and Freundlich adsorption for CAW beads whereas, ACW beads follow both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The rate of adsorption on beads follows Lagergren pseudo second order kinetics. The results indicated that beads in all the combinations can be used as a low-cost effective adsorbent in the treatment of wastewater.
