Antibiotic Removal from Wastewater Using SrAl₂O₄ Composites Synthesized by Energy-Saving Volumetric Combustion Method

This study focused on the synthesis of SrAl₂O₄compositesComposites using the volumetric combustionVolumetric combustion (VC) method and their thermodynamic modeling. SrAl₂O₄compositeComposites was synthesized for the first time using VC method, a new method that was served to the literature to synthesize compositesComposites. VC method is characterized by its highly exothermic nature. The VC method is typically energyEnergy-efficient for the synthesis of strontium aluminateStrontium aluminate because the heat released during the reaction is substantial enough to drive the synthesis to completion. This minimizes the need for further energyEnergy inputs after ignition. In summary, the VC method for synthesizing strontium aluminateStrontium aluminate is energyEnergy-efficient, and the carbon footprint during the reaction process is minimal, as the reaction does not directly produce CO₂. In this study, the adsorptionAdsorption of these hazardous compounds by SrAl₂O₄compositesComposites was investigated. The findings were characterized using XRD, SEM, and FTIR analyses. The XRD results confirmed the successful synthesis of SrAl₂O₄compositeComposites phases. EnergyEnergy-efficient synthesized compositeComposites was utilized for removal of toxic materials in water. The experiments indicated that the adsorptionAdsorption capacity of SrAl₂O₄compositeComposites was sufficient to vaporizing environmental purification.
