Abstract:
      To elucidate the effect of doping ratio on adsorption performance of TiO2/bentonite composites, a series of nitrogen-fluoride codoped TiO2/bentonite composites were prepared via the sol-gel method. The prepared composites were characterized by specific surface area (SBET)and cation exchange capacity(CEC)analyses and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of doping ratios of N and F on terramycin adsorption was investigated through batch experiments. The results showed that N-F co-doped TiO2 was successfully adhered on the surface of bentonite. With an increase in N doping ratio in the N-doped TiO2/bentonite composites, the coverage degree of N-doped TiO2, SBET, and pore volume of the composites increased, while the CEC and average pore width of the composites decreased by 36.24% and 1.74%, respectively. Moreover, the particle size of N-doped TiO2 decreased from 50~100 nm to 25~50 nm. When TiO2 was doped with N and F, the SBET, pore width, pore volume, and CEC of the N-F co-doped TiO2/bentonite composites were higher than those of the N-doped TiO2/bentonite composites. Compared with the undoped samples, N-doped TiO2 caused a decrease in terramycin adsorption(14.30 mmol· kg-1 on an average); however, N-F co-doped TiO2 increased terramycin adsorption from 37.98 mmol·kg-1 and 40.90 mmol·kg-1 to 42.95 mmol·kg-1 and 43.73 mmol·kg-1 when the N doping ratio of TiO2 was 0.5 and 1, respectively. The results demonstrated that the high adsorption of the N-F co-doped TiO2/bentonite composites to terramycin can be attributed to the increase in negative charge, pore diameter, and pore volume of the composites due to F doping.
