ABSTRACT
In this study, we have successfully synthesized aerogel composite materials based on PVA/
Maltodextrine/Agar in combination with montmorillonite (AE2) using tetracycline antibiotic (TCC)
adsorption in water. The structural properties of the materials were evaluated by the following methods:
XRD. SEM, FTIR, BET. Survey results of TCC antibiotic adsorption showed that the highest adsorption
capacity reached 90.37 ppm in the following conditions: pH 2, initial TCC concentration 120 mg/l,
adsorbent dosage 0.003 g/L, 60 min adsorption time. The experimental data are consistent with the
pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Langmuir kinetic model. Overall, the results show that the
composite aerogel (AE2) exhibits potential antibiotic adsorption applications in contaminated water.
