Abstract

A NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) composite with Uncaria gambir (UG) leaf extract was successfully synthesized. The composite (NiFe-UG LDH) and the base material (NiFe LDH) were identified using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) Surface Area techniques. The XRD and FTIR results revealed the incorporation of gambier leaf extract into the NiFe LDH structure, as indicated by the combined diffraction patterns and spectral features. The BET analysis indicated a decrease in the surface area of NiFe-UG LDH compared to that of NiFe LDH, suggesting that active compounds from the gambier leaf extract effectively coated the LDH surface and blocked its pores. During malachite green (MG) adsorption, NiFe-UG demonstrated faster adsorption kinetics and a higher adsorption efficiency, reaching 96.420% compared to 92.085% for NiFe LDH. While both materials followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, their isotherm behaviors differed: NiFe-UG adhered to the Langmuir model, indicating monolayer adsorption, whereas NiFe LDH followed the Freundlich model, signifying multilayer adsorption. Further analysis suggested that adsorption in NiFe LDH was primarily governed by physisorption, while in NiFe-UG, a combined physisorption-chemisorption mechanism occurred. These results underscore the enhanced adsorption capacity of the composite material, attributed to the introduction of additional functional groups from the gambier leaf extract.

Abstract

Ceftriaxone (CEF) is a β-lactam antibiotic widely used in the medical field to treat various bacterial infections in both humans and animals. The high usage of CEF has the potential to cause environmental pollution and antimicrobial resistance, necessitating effective treatment methods. In this study, the adsorption method is proposed using Ni/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) and Camellia sinensis extract-modified material (Ni/Al-CSe) as a sustainable bio-modification approach. The results show the optimal adsorption pH for Ni/Al LDH is 3 and for Ni/Al-CSe is 5, with the adsorption isotherms following the Freundlich model and the kinetics conforming to pseudo-first order (PFO). The maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) significantly increased from 28.818 mg.g-1 (Ni/Al LDH) to 111.111 mg.g-1 (Ni/Al-CSe). Thermodynamic analysis revealed that adsorption on both materials proceeds spontaneously, while the consistently more negative ΔG values and predominantly exothermic behavior of Ni/Al-CSe confirm its superior thermodynamic favorability associated with more specific surface interactions. Regeneration tests up to four cycles showed that Ni/Al-CSe was more stable than Ni/Al LDH. Overall, modifying Ni/Al LDH with Camellia sinensis extract was proven to enhance adsorption capacity, spontaneity, and stability, providing an effective and environmentally friendly solution for antibiotic treatment.
