Abstract

Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug primarily found as a pharmaceutical residue in water and can be removed using adsorption method. Activated carbon with nanoarrays structure was produced using SBA-15 as a hard template and further utilised as an adsorbent for ibuprofen removal. SBA-15 was synthesised using TEOS and Pluronic-F123 as a mesoporous template, followed by deposition with sucrose as a carbon precursor. Carbonisation was carried out under N2 flow at 180 °C followed by pyrolysis at 900 °C to form carbon nanoarrays. The effect of activation using KOH solution on activated carbon nanoarrays was investigated for ibuprofen removal. Characterisation using XRD, FTIR, TEM, and N2 adsorption-desorption revealed that the carbon adapted the highly ordered structure of SBA-15 with the diameter of nanoarrays of ~ 5 nm and surface area of ~646 m2/g. Investigation of the adsorption of ibuprofen on activated carbon nanoarrays showed that the adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the adsorption capacity of ~ 24.5 mg/g. Prolonged treatment of carbon with KOH has been shown to affect the adsorption capacity of ibuprofen due to a decrease in the surface functionality of carbon.

Abstrak

Ibuprofen adalah ubat anti-radang yang banyak dijumpai sebagai residu farmasi di dalam air dan dapat disingkirkan dengan kaedah penjerapan. Karbon aktif dengan struktur susunan-nano dihasilkan menggunakan SBA-15 sebagai templat keras dan selanjutnya digunakan sebagai penjerap untuk penyingkiran ibuprofen. SBA-15 disintesis menggunakan TEOS dan Pluronic-F123 sebagai templat liang-meso diikuti dengan pemendapan menggunakan sukrosa sebagai sumber karbon. Karbonisasi dilakukan di bawah aliran N2 pada suhu 180 °C diikuti oleh pirolisis pada suhu 900 °C untuk membentuk karbon susunan-nano. Kesan pengaktifan menggunakan larutan KOH pada susunan-nano karbon aktif dikaji dalam penyingkiran ibuprofen. Pencirian menggunakan XRD, FTIR, TEM dan N2 penjerapan-penyerapan menunjukkan karbon menyesuaikan struktur SBA-15 yang sangat teratur dengan diameter susunan-nano ~ 5 nm dan luas permukaan ~ 646 m2/g. Kajian penjerapan ibuprofen pada susunan-nano karbon aktif menunjukkan penjerapan diikuti model kinetik pseudo-urutan-kedua dengan kapasiti penjerapan ~ 24.5 mg/g. Rawatan karbon yang berpanjangan dengan KOH terbukti memberi kesan kapasiti penjerapan ibuprofen yang disebabkan oleh penurunan fungsi permukaan karbon.
