摘要/Abstract

摘要： Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesised, characterised, and used as a peroxidase mimetic to accelerate levofloxacin sono-degradation in an ultrasound (US)/H₂O₂ system. The Fe₃O₄ MNPs were in nanometre scale with an average diameter of approximately 12 to 18 nm. The introduction of Fe₃O₄ MNPs increased levofloxacin sono-degradation in the US/H₂O₂ system. Experimental parameters, such as Fe₃O₄ MNP dose, initial solution pH, and H₂O₂ concentration, were investigated by a one-factor-at-a-time approach. The results showed that Fe₃O₄ MNPs enhanced levofloxacin removal in the pH range from 4.0 to 9.0. Levofloxacin removal ratio increased with Fe₃O₄ MNP dose up to 1.0 g·L^-1 and with H₂O₂ concentration until reaching the maximum.Moreover, three main intermediate compounds were identified by HPLC with electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry, and a possible degradation pathway was proposed. This study suggests that combination of H₂O₂, Fe₃O₄ MNPs and US is a good way to improve the degradation efficiency of antibiotics.
