Abstract
MS-ZnS and MS-ZnS:Mn complexes were synthesized via a simple method. The results showed that sulfide was successfully loaded on the maize straw. The results of fitting the experimental data showed that the sorption conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the TYL sorption on MS fit the Henry model well, but the Freundlich model was more suited to MS-ZnS and MS-ZnS:Mn. In addition, the kf values of MS-ZnS (206.0(mg/kg)/(mg/L)n) and MS-ZnS:Mn (382.5(mg/kg)/(mg/L)n) were significantly greater than that of MS (72.2(mg/kg)/(mg/L)n), indicating that ZnS and ZnS:Mn could improve the sorption capacity of TYL on MS. The pH, ionic strength and temperature influence the sorption process, and the sorption ability of TYL on MS-ZnS and MS-ZnS:Mn showed little change when the solution pH was > 5; the amount of TYL sorption on the adsorbents gradually decreased with the increasing concentration of KNO3. Electrostatic interactions, H bonding and hydrophobic interactions are involved in the sorption of TYL on MS, MS-ZnS and MS-ZnS:Mn, and compared with MS, the main mechanism is surface complexation. This research can provide technical support for the utilization of biomass and the restoration of water polluted by antibiotics.

Abstract
Maize straw modified by iron and manganese oxides was synthesized via a simple and environmentally friendly method. Three maize straw materials, the original maize straw, maize straw modified by manganese oxides and maize straw modified by iron and manganese oxides, were detected by SEM, BET, XPS, XRD and FTIR. The results showed that maize straw was successfully modified and maize straw modified by iron and manganese oxides has a larger surface area than MS. According to the experimental data, the sorption trend could conform to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model well, and the sorption ability of tylosin on sorbents followed the order of original maize straw < maize straw modified by manganese oxides < maize straw modified by iron and manganese oxides. The study indicated that manganese oxides and iron-manganese oxides could significantly enhance the sorption capacity of original maize straw. The sorption isotherm data of tylosin on original maize straw fit a linear model well, while Freundlich models were more suitable for maize straw modified by manganese oxides and maize straw modified by iron and manganese oxides. The pH, ionic strength and temperature can affect the sorption process. The sorption mechanisms of tylosin on iron and manganese oxides modified maize straw were attribute to the surface complexes, electrostatic interactions, H bonding and hydrophobic interactions.
