Abstract

The graphite and activated carbon were employed to simulate the black carbon with different surface properties. The adsorption of tetracycline on these adsorbents was investigated by method of static experiments. Related properties of the adsorbate and adsorbents were studied to support the adsorption mechanism exploration. The results suggested that H-bonding drives adsorption of tetracycline on the activated carbon, while hydrophobic force stands for adsorption of tetracycline on graphite.
