Dendritic magnetic polymeric core-shell and cobalt-wastewater as an efficient peroxymonosulfate activator for degradation of tetracycline antibiotic and methylene blue dye

Abstract

The residue of antibiotic and carcinogenic dyes in the industrially polluted water has led to increased antibiotic-resistant bacteria, harm to human health, and damage to health-beneficial healthy bacteria, hence, needs to be adequately treated. For this purpose, we prepared and fully identified a series of novel dendritic polymer shelled magnetic beads with generation 2.5 & 1.5 (PSMB-(G2.5/1.5)@Co+2 DPs) with excellent chemical/mechanical strength that can in one sweep recover valuable cobalt ions from hazardous industrial wastewater. In the following, the degradation studies of methylene blue (MB) dye, and tetracycline (TC) antibiotics from effluent, natural saline irrigation water & pharmaceutical wastewater were analyzed by UV–vis spectroscopy and TOC (total organic carbon) measurement. In the following, an understanding of its vital principles and relationship of degradation efficiency with structural, and environmental factors, economic study and long-term stability were assessed in detail. The advantages of this process include a simple reaction set-up, excellent efficiency, mild condition reaction (short time process & wide pH and temperature range), environmentally friendliness solubility in polar/nonpolar media, efficient in the presence of organic and/or inorganic compounds and suitability for real environments, and recyclable capability.
