Li X, Lu Z, Wu B, Xie H, Liu G. Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes removal in biological aerated filter. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 395:130392. [PMID: 38301943 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Two laboratory-level biological aerated filters (BAF) were constructed to explore their treatment capacity for simulated antibiotic wastewater at high (1 - 16 mg/L) and low (0 - 0.5 mg/L) concentrations. Results showed that BAF was capable of removing both sulfonamides and tetracyclines with an efficiency of over 90 % at 16 mg/L. The main mechanism for removing antibiotics was found to be biodegradation followed by adsorption. Paenarthrobacter was identified as the key genus in sulfonamides degradation, while Hydrogenophaga played a crucial role in tetracyclines degradation. Antibiotics resistant genes such as intI1, sul1, sul2, tetA, tetW and tetX were frequently detected in the effluent, with interception rates ranging from 105 - 106 copies/mL. The dominated microorganisms obtained in the study could potentially be utilized to enhance the capacity of biological processes for treating antibiotics contaminated wastewater. These findings contribute to a better understanding of BAF treating wastewater containing antibiotics and resistant genes.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:19025-19046. [PMID: 38374500 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-32472-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Electrocatalytic methods are valuable tools for addressing water pollution and scarcity, offering effective pollutant removal and resource recovery. To investigate the current status and future trends of electrocatalysis in wastewater treatment, a detailed analysis of 9417 papers and 4061 patents was conducted using scientometric methods. China emerged as the leading contributor to publications, and collaborations between China and the USA have emerged as the most frequent partnerships. Primary article co-citation clusters focused on oxygen evolution reaction and electrochemical oxidation, transitioning towards advanced oxidation processes ("persulfate activation"), and electrocatalytic reduction processes ("nitrate reduction"). Bifunctional catalysts, theoretical calculations, electrocatalytic combination technologies, and emerging contaminants were identified as current research hotspots. Patent analysis revealed seven types of electrochemical technologies, which were compared using SWOT analysis, highlighting electrochemical oxidation as prominent. The technological evolution presented the pathway of electro-Fenton to combined electrocatalytic technologies with biochemical processes, and finally to coupling with electrocoagulation. Standardized evaluation systems, waste resource utilization, and energy conservation were important directions of innovation in electrocatalytic technologies. Overall, this study provided a reference for researchers to understand the framework of electrocatalysis in wastewater treatment and also shed light on potential avenues for further innovation in the field.
