Ultrafast and simultaneous removal of four tetracyclines from aqueous solutions using waste material-derived graphene oxide-supported cobalt-iron magnetic nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a graphene oxide-supported cobalt-iron oxide (GO/Co-Fe) magnetic nanocomposite was successfully synthesized using waste dry cells for the efficient and simultaneous removal of tetracycline (TC), chlortetracycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and doxycycline (DTC) from aqueous solutions. The GO/Co-Fe nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and zeta potential analysis. This multi-faceted characterization provided clean insights into the composition and properties of the synthesized nanocomposite. The adsorption of tetracyclines (T
