Titania incorporated into magnetite mesoporous silica for removal of ciprofloxacin under UV radiation
Abstract:
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a widely used antibiotic, but its poor absorption leads to its release into the environment. CIP accumulation in surface waters raises concerns about antibiotic resistance. Photodegradation can break down pollutants in the environment through the action of light. This study presents a magnetitesilicatitania photocatalyst that can be magnetically extracted after degrading organic compounds in water. Magnetite was successfully coated with MCM-48 mesoporous silica, creating a large surface area for the attachment of TiO₂. The catalyst was characterized using XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and BET. Magnetite MCM-48 mesoporous silica (MSI) possessed a surface area of 1,115.24 m²/g. The incorporation of titania altered the surface area while maintaining the mesoporous structure. As a result, titania-modified magnetite MCM-48 mesoporous silica (T-MSI) exhibited a reduced surface area of 489.44 m²/g. T-MSI achieved 95.99% photocatalytic degradation of 20 ppm CIP under UV radiation within 2 hours. This result demonstrates the efficiency of T-MSI in degrading high concentrations of CIP in a short time, reinforcing its potential for environmental remediation applications.
