- Abstract
The degradation and flocculation of tetracycline (TC) with nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) modified by starch were investigated using batch experiments as a function of reactant concentration, pH, and ion strength. The 500 mg/L TC was processed with 0.20 mg/L NZVI, the adsorption and degradation effect was only 30.0% and flocculation effect was 69.0 %, the total removal efficiency was as high as 99.2%. At processed with NZVI, the flocculation kinetics of TC was strongly dependent on pH and ion strength. Neutral environment and high ion strength can improve the sedimentation rate.
