Abstract
In aquatic environments, humic acid (HA) was found to have a good ability for stabilizing nanoparticles. In this study, humic acid was extracted from Egyptian soil and was used to fabricate novel humic acid-coated TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2/HA, 30 nm) by co-precipitation method. The deionized phenolic groups of humic acid were adsorbed on the surface of nano-TiO2 and generate high charge density and strong interparticle repulsive forces that stabilize those nanoparticles. The great sorption capacity of TiO2/HA nanoparticles was applied to remove pepcidine, as a model organic environmental contaminant from wastewater. The TiO2/HA nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR and TEM techniques. The parameters influencing the pepcidine removal efficiency such as adsorbent dose, pH, initial adsorbate concentration and contact time were considered for optimal experimental conditions. The experimental results demonstrated that the investigated adsorption system complied well with Langmuir and pseudo second order kinetic models.
