The non-edible and disposable parts of oyster mushroom, as novel adsorbent for quantitative removal of atrazine and its degradation products from synthetic wastewater

In this study, the non-edible part of oyster mushroom was utilized for quantitative removal of the most commonly used s-triazine herbicide; atrazine and its breakdown products including deethylatrazine (DEA), hydroxyatrazine (ATOH) and deisopropylatrazine (DIA) from aqueous samples. The functional g...

description In this study, the non-edible part of oyster mushroom was utilized for quantitative removal of the most commonly used s-triazine herbicide; atrazine and its breakdown products including deethylatrazine (DEA), hydroxyatrazine (ATOH) and deisopropylatrazine (DIA) from aqueous samples. The functional groups available on the oyster mushroom were studied applying FTIR before and after adsorption. Experimental parameters influencing the uptake process including acidity, sorbent mass, sorption time, initial analyte quantities, and agitation speed were analysed and the maximum removal was found at 4, 0.3 g, 120 min, 0.5 mg L−1, and 150 rpm, respectively. Accordingly, the adsorption capacities of 0.994, 1.113, 0.991 and 1.016 mg g−1 were obtained for DIA, DEA, ATOH and atrazine, respectively. The adsorption characteristics were discussed utilizing Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The fundamental characteristic of the Langmuir isotherm, which can be elaborated using separation factor or equilibrium parameter, RL, and coefficient of variation, R2, were (0.761, 0.996), (0.884, 0.975), (0.908, 0.983) and (0.799, 0.984) for DIA, DEA, ATOH and Atrazine, respectively. These findings showed that all analytes' adsorption processes were fitted well to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, indicating that the adsorbent surface was covered in a monolayer. The kinetics was also evaluated using the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order models. The coefficient of determination, r2, were found to be 0.09703, 0.9989, 0.9967 and 0.9998 for DIA DEA, ATOH and atrazine, respectively, for pseudo-second order, signifying that, all analytes were found to follow the pseudo-second order rate model showing that the rate limiting step is chemisorption in the sorption process. Based on these findings, the non-edible and disposable part of the oyster mushrooms can be utilized as a preferred alternative biosorbent for the uptake of the target compounds analysed and other pollutants possessing comparable physicochemical characteristics occurring in various water bodies.
