Effective Removal of Tetracycline from Water Using Copper Alginate @ Graphene Oxide with In-Situ Grown MOF-525 Composite: Synthesis, Characterization and Adsorption Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: For nanomaterials, such as GO and MOF-525, aggregation is the main reason limiting their adsorption performance. In this research, Alg-Cu@GO@MOF-525 was successfully synthesized by in-situ growth of MOF-525 on Alg-Cu@GO. By dispersing graphene oxide (GO) with copper alginate (Alg-Cu) with three-dimensional structure, MOF-525 was in-situ grown to reduce aggregation. The measured specific surface area of Alg-Cu@GO@MOF-525 was as high as 807.30 m²·g^-1, which is very favorable for adsorption. The synthesized material has affinity for a variety of pollutants, and its adsorption performance is significantly enhanced. In particular, tetracycline (TC) was selected as the target pollutant to study the adsorption behavior. The strong acid environment inhibited the adsorption, a
