    Journal: J Hazard Mater; 2012 Feb 15; 203-204():137-44. PubMed ID: 22197559.
    Abstract:
    Effect of norfloxacin (Nor) on the sorption of 1,3-dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB), and PAHs (naphthalene (NAPH), phenanthrene (PHEN) and pyrene (PYR)) to K(+)-montmorillonite was studied. Nor suppressed 1,3-DNB sorption due to their competition for the same sorption sites. 1,3-DNB was sorbed on K(+)-montmorillonite surface via cation-polar interaction and n-π electron donor-acceptor interaction. Nor also was sorbed on these sites through cation exchange, cation bridging and/or surface complexation. Nor increased three PAHs sorption on montmorillonite and the enhanced magnitude was positively correlated with the π-donor strength of three PAHs. The enhanced sorption of PAHs by Nor was primarily attributed to π-π interaction between π-electron-depleted quinoline ring of Nor and π-electron-rich PAHs. Compared with cation (Nor(+)) and anion (Nor(-)), zwitterion (Nor(±)) of Nor increased PHEN and PYR sorption more pronounced due to additional cation-π interaction between the sorbed Nor(±) and PAHs. (1)H NMR spectrum provided direct evidence for π-π and cation-π complexation between PAHs and Nor(+) in solution by ring-current-induced upfield chemical shifts of amino group and methylene group of Nor(+).
