Abstract

As emerging contaminants, antineoplastic drugs are widely used, but their residues in water may cause long-term genotoxicity to aquatic organisms and human beings. Here, waste moxa ash was selected as biomass raw material and modified by ball milling to obtain carbon-based materials with excellent adsorption performance, which were used to remove the antineoplastic drug mitoxantrone (MTX) from water. The experimental results indicate that moxa ash modified by ball milling in hydrogen peroxide exhibits ultrafast removal of MTX (the removal efficiency reaches 97.66% in 1 min and 99.72% in 30 min). The pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm models accurately describe the MTX adsorption process, and the mechanism of adsorption probably involves pore filling, hydrogen bond, π-π interaction and electrostatic attraction. Not only that, moxa ash also has the ability to remove dyes such as malachite green (97.81%) and methylene blue (99.97%). In this study, a simple and environmentally friendly process was used to convert waste moxa ash into an effective MTX adsorbent, providing a feasible solution for controlling MTX pollution and identifying a circular and economic way to reuse the waste.
