Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Levofloxacin (LEV) is a widely used antibiotic.
  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are explored for pollutant adsorption.
  • Understanding LEV-CNT interactions is crucial for environmental remediation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the adsorption of levofloxacin (LEV) onto single-wall carbon nanotubes (SCNT).
  • To analyze the effect of LEV concentration on adsorption behavior using molecular dynamics.
  • To elucidate the interaction mechanisms between LEV molecules and SCNT.

Main Methods:

  • Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed.
  • Analysis included radial distribution function, mean square displacement, and interaction energy calculations.
  • Simulations covered varying concentrations of LEV solutions.

Main Results:

  • LEV molecules adsorb onto SCNT surfaces.
  • Higher LEV concentrations resulted in decreased adsorption efficiency due to molecule agglomeration.
  • LEV molecules exhibited free diffusion initially, followed by adsorption-induced agglomeration within 15 ns.
  • Energy changes correlated with LEV concentration.
  • A distance of 0.4 nm between benzene rings indicated parallel-slipped π-π electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) interactions driving agglomeration.

Conclusions:

  • LEV adsorption on SCNT is concentration-dependent.
  • Agglomeration at higher concentrations hinders effective adsorption.
  • π-π EDA interactions play a key role in LEV molecule aggregation.
  • Simulation findings offer insights into benzene-based pollutant adsorption and removal by adsorbents.
