Abstract
Erythromycin (ERY) molecules are robust to the environment and hard to remove due to their aromatic structure. Nowadays, numerous researches have reported that the ERY amount in water is above the standard level and its removal is necessary. Here, we prepared three solid adsorbents: graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), potassium carrageenan beads (Cr), and graphitic carbon nitride/gum Arabic/potassium carrageenan composite (g-ACr). Several techniques such as XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, ATR-FTIR, Zeta potential, and N2 adsorption were employed to characterize the fabricated adsorbents. Five essential factors of adsorbent dose, initial ERY concentration, contact time, temperature, and pH were optimized to investigate the batch adsorption of ERY. The maximum adsorption capacity of 356.12 mg/g was attained by g-ACr composite at an adsorbent dose of 1.25 g/L, contact time of 6 h, and pH 7 at 15 °C. The data showed that the experimental findings exhibited the best agreement with Langmuir, Temkin, and DR isotherm models, in addition to the kinetic models of pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intra-particle diffusion. The evaluated thermodynamic factors designated that the ERY adsorption is endothermic, physisorption, favorable, and spontaneous process. The g-ACr reusability displayed a decline in the adsorption capacity after seven adsorption/desorption runs by 5.7 %. Finally, this work outcomes depict that g-ACr composite is an efficient reusable adsorbent for ERY elimination from wastewater.

Comprehensive insight into adsorption of chlortetracycline hydrochloride by room-temperature synthesized water-stable Zr-based metal-organic gel/sodium alginate beads. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023:116339. [PMID: 37290628 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CTC) is one of the prevailing antibiotic pollutants that harm both environmental ecosystem and human health. Herein, Zr-based metal-organic gels (Zr-MOGs) with lower-coordinated active sites and hierarchically porous structures are fabricated via a facile straightforward room-temperature strategy for CTC treatment. More importantly, we incorporated the powder Zr-MOGs into low-cost sodium alginate (SA) matrix to achieve shaped Zr-based metal-organic gel/SA beads for enhancing the adsorption ability and ameliorating the recyclability. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities of Zr-MOGs and Zr-MOG/SA beads could reach 143.9 mg/g and 246.9 mg/g, respectively. What's more, in the manual syringe unit and continuous bead column experiments, Zr-MOG/SA beads could achieve an eluted CTC removal ratio as high as 93.6% and 95.5% in the real water sample, respectively. On top of that, the adsorption mechanisms were put forward as a combination of pore filling, electrostatic interaction, hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, coordination, π-π interaction as well as hydrogen bonding interaction. This study outlines a workable strategy for the facile preparation of candidate adsorbents for wastewater treatment.

Surfactant aggravated the antibiotic's stress on antibiotic resistance genes proliferation by altering antibiotic solubilization and microbial traits in sludge anaerobic fermentation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 873:162440. [PMID: 36842577 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The excessive application of antibiotics and surfactants resulted in their massive accumulation in waste activated sludge (WAS), but the co-occurrent impacts of antibiotics and surfactants on the antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) fates have seldom reported. This work mainly revealed the roles and critical mechanisms of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) on the sulfadiazine (SDZ) stressing for ARGs distribution during WAS anaerobic fermentation. High-throughput qPCR and metagenomic analysis revealed that SDBS aggravated the SDZ selective pressure, and accelerated the proliferation of ARGs. The total abundance of ARGs was increased from 8.81 × 1010 in SDZ to 1.17 × 1011 copies/g TSS in the SDBS/SDZ co-occurrence system. Specifically, the absolute abundances of ermF (MLSB), mefA (MLSB), tetM-01 (tetracycline), tetX (tetracycline), sul2 (sulfonamide) and strB (aminoglycoside) were risen from 4.60 × 108-7.44 × 109 copies/g TSS in the SDZ reactor to 1.02 × 109-4.63 × 1010 copies/g TSS in SDBS/SDZ reactor. SDBS was contributed to the SDZ solubilization and simultaneously effective in disintegrating extracellular polymeric substances and improving cell membrane permeability, which would facilitate the SDZ transport and its interactions with ARGs hosts. Consequently, the microbial community structure was evidently altered, and the typical ARGs hosts (i.e., Saccharimonadales and Ahniella) were greatly enriched. Also, the cell signal transduction systems (i.e., glnL, glrK and pilG), oxidative stress response (i.e., frmA and recA) and bacterial secretion systems (i.e., VirB4), which were related with ARGs propagation, were all provoked in the co-occurred SDBS/SDZ reactor compared with that of sole SDZ. PLS-PM analysis suggested that the bacterial community was the predominant factor that determined the ARGs fates, followed by mobile genetic elements and metabolic pathway. This work demonstrated the interactive effects of surfactants and antibiotics on the ARGs fates in WAS fermentation systems and gave insightful implications on the ecological risks of different exogenous pollutants.

Abstract
Developing a simple and efficient method for removing organic micropollutants from aqueous systems is crucial. The present study describes the preparation and application, for the first time, of novel MXene-decorated bismuth ferrite nanocomposites (BiFeO3/MXene) for the removal of six sulfonamides including sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfamerazine (SMZ), sulfamethazine (SMTZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMXZ) and sulfisoxazole (SXZ). The properties of BiFeO3/MXene are enhanced by the presence of BiFeO3 nanoparticles, which provide a large surface area to facilitate the removal of sulfonamides. More importantly, BiFeO3/MXene composites demonstrated remarkable sulfonamide adsorption capabilities compared to pristine MXene, which is due to the synergistic effect between BiFeO3 and MXene. The kinetics and isotherm models of sulfonamide adsorption on BiFeO3/MXene are consistent with a pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model. BiFeO3/MXene had appreciable reusability after five adsorption-desorption cycles. Furthermore, BiFeO3/MXene is stable and retains its original properties upon desorption. The present work provides an effective method for eliminating sulfonamides from water by exploiting the excellent texture properties of BiFeO3/MXene.

Abstract
Antibiotics have been used in massive quantities for human and animal medical treatment, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are of great concern worldwide. Antibiotics and ARGs are exposed to the natural environment through the discharge of medical wastewater, causing great harm to the environment and human health. Biochar has been widely used as a green and efficient adsorbent to remove pollutants. However, pristine and unmodified biochars are not considered sufficient and efficient to cope with the current serious water pollution. Therefore, researchers have chosen to improve the adsorption capacity of biochar through different modification methods. To have a better understanding of the application of modified biochar, this review summarizes the biochar modification methods and their performance, particularly, molecular imprinting and biochar aging are outlined as new modification methods, influencing factors of biochar and modified biochar in adsorption of antibiotics and ARGs and adsorption mechanisms, wherein adsorption mechanism of ARGs on biochar is found to be different than that of antibiotics. After that, the directions of biochar and modified biochar worthy of research and the issues that need attention are proposed. It can be noted that under the current dual carbon policy, biochar may have wider application prospects in future.

Abstract
Hydrothermal carbonization of alfalfa is a potential way to reuse agricultural waste. However, the effects of hydrothermal conditions on the properties of alfalfa-derived hydrochar are not clear. Herein, this study investigated the impact of different synthesis conditions (e.g., heating temperature, heating time, and solid to liquid ratio) on the formation and properties of hydrochar. Characterization and thermogravimetric analysis results revealed that with the increase of hydrothermal temperature and the extension of time, cellulose in alfalfa broken down more completely, and the number of carbon spheres and the aromatization degree increased, while the functional groups decreased. Furthermore, there was a surge in the carbon content, fixed carbon yield, high heating value, reduced oxygen, and volatile content. Additionally, the enhancement solid-liquid ratio could effectively improve the energy and mass yields. In all, by adjusting the process parameters of hydrochar, cleaner and higher productivity products could be obtained. This study provides theory basis for the production of target hydrochar that is used to soil amendments, adsorbents, and energy sources in the future.

Abstract
In this study, the UVA (Ultraviolet A) drinking water disinfection was promoted by electrolysis. The influences of the UVA, electrolysis current, bubbling and temperature were investigated. The disinfection mechanisms and bacterial reactivation had been studied. The results revealed that the treatment time needed to reach the DL (detection limit, about 5.4 log removal) was shortened from 180 to 80 min by the electrolysis. The total electricity consumption decreased from about 126-57.0 kJ/L. Compared with increasing the UVA irradiation, increasing the electrolysis current in a certain range was more preferred to improve the disinfection rate. Oxygen bubbling or higher temperature could enhance the E. coli inactivation. The quenching experiment and EPR (Electron paramagnetic resonance) detection confirmed that ROSs (1O2, ·O2- and ·OH) played important roles for the disinfection. Compared with the treatment with UVA alone, the cell membrane damage was more severe by the promoting method. In addition to the dramatically reduced enzyme activity, the synergistic process degraded most of the bacterial genomic DNA, and the bacteria were completely killed. Therefore, hybrid with electrolysis is a better way for the application of the UVA-LED disinfection.

Abstract
The recovery of carbon materials from biogas residue (BR) could efficiently promote the efficient utilization of waste and the preparation of novel materials. In this study, a green and feasible reagent of citric acid was introduced and applied in the modification of biogas residue biochar (BRC). The modified biogas residue biochar (CABRC) showed a superior adsorption ability due to its higher specific surface area (approximately 6 times that of the BRC). Additionally, the adsorption capacities of CABRC and BRC for TC were 58.25 mg/g and 20.77 mg/g, respectively, while the TC adsorption performance of CABRC was 2.8 times that of BRC. The adsorption of TC by both BRC and CABRC was primarily controlled by physical adsorption and chemical adsorption (including pore filling, hydrogen bonding, π-π DEA interaction, and electrostatic interaction). Therefore, CABRC should be considered an environmentally friendly material due to its higher adsorption performance, which could expand its application in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The existence of continually increasing concentrations of antibiotics in the environment is a serious potential hazard due to their toxicity and persistence. Unfortunately, conventional treatment techniques, such as those utilized in wastewater treatment plants, are not efficient for the treatment of wastewater containing antibiotic. Recently, algae-based technologies have been found to be a sustainable and promising technique for antibiotic removal. Therefore, this review aims to provide a critical summary of algae-based technologies and their important role in antibiotic wastewater treatment. Algal removal mechanisms including bioadsorption, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation are discussed in detail, with using algae-bacteria consortia for antibiotic treatment, integration of algae with other microorganisms (fungi and multiple algal species), hybrid algae-based treatment and constructed wetlands, and the factors affecting algal antibiotic degradation comprehensively described and assessed. In addition, the use of algae as a precursor for the production of biochar is highlighted, along with the modification of biochar with other materials to improve its antibiotic removal capacity and hybrid algae-based treatment with advanced oxidation processes. Furthermore, recent novel approaches for enhancing antibiotic removal, such as the use of genetic engineering to enhance the antibiotic degradation capacity of algae and the integration of algal antibiotic removal with bioelectrochemical systems are discussed. Finally, some based on the critical review, key future research perspectives are proposed. Overall, this review systematically presents the current progress in algae-mediated antibiotic removal technologies, providing some novel insights for improved alleviation of antibiotic pollution in aquatic environments.

Nitrogen-rich carbon nitride as solid-phase microextraction fiber coating for high-efficient pretreatment of polychlorinated biphenyls from environmental samples. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1659:462655. [PMID: 34749185 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.462655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
A two-dimensional nitrogen-rich carbon nitrogen (C3N5) material was prepared via a facile high temperature thermal polymerization. For the first time, the C3N5 was used as fiber coating of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to extract and preconcentrate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) before gas chromatography (GC) analysis. The X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to investigate structure, functional groups, thermal stability, bonding type, element composition, and atomic ratio of C3N5. The two-dimensional planar stacking structure was further verified by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Five PCBs including PCB-4, PCB-12, PCB-29, PCB-52 and PCB-101 were selected as targets to evaluate performance of SPME fiber. Under the optimal conditions, the method showed a good linear range from 0.01 to 1000 ng/mL with the correlation coefficients (R2) higher than 0.9990. Enrichment factors of the method were obtained from 2045 to 3080. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N = 3) and limits of quantification (LOQs, S/N = 10) were calculated as 0.0031-0.0111 ng/mL and 0.01-0.05 ng/mL, respectively. The precisions of intra-day and inter-day were obtained with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) at 1.5-6.6% and 0.8-6.9%, respectively. The fiber-to-fiber producibility was achieved with RSDs ranged from 3.5% to 11.4%. The method was applied to detect PCBs in river water and soil samples. The contents were calculated at 0.040-0.147 ng/mL in water and 0.520-3.218 ng/g in soil. The C3N5 as SPME fiber coating material may be applied to extract and preconcentrate other environmental pollutants which have similar chemical structures with PCBs.

Abstract
Water pollution caused by organic pollutants and pathogenic microorganism is a critical issue. In this study, we reported a silver-modified β-cyclodextrin polymer (CD-CA/PDA-Ag) used for the removal of dyes and the suppression of microorganisms from water. In order to avoid silver nanoparticles agglomeration, the material was first coated with polydopamine (PDA) on β-cyclodextrin matrix, whose reducing catechol groups subsequently immobilized silver ions in situ to form uniformly dispersed silver nanoparticles. CD-CA/PDA-0.5Ag displayed a high adsorption capacity of methylene blue (535.93 mg/g), which is mainly attributed to electrostatic interactions, host-guest inclusions and π-π bond stacking effects. Furthermore, both diffusion inhibition zone tests and colony formation unit tests were investigated, which showed excellent antimicrobial capability on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. auerus). Overall, CD-CA/PDA-Ag proved to have an excellent adsorption capacity and antibacterial performance, which provides a great potential in water purification.

Abstract
An iron-nickel bimetallic oxide porous graphene composite material (Fe/Ni-PG) was prepared by a simple partial combustion method, which can be used to effectively remove sulfonamides (SAs) from an aqueous solution. The adsorption performance of Fe/Ni-PG, Fe-PG, and Ni-PG on six kinds of SAs was compared, and the influence of time, temperature, pH, and initial concentration of SAs on the adsorption behavior of SAs of Fe/Ni-PG in an aqueous solution was studied. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics exhibited that the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model can describe the adsorption isotherm and kinetics. The maximum adsorption capacities of sulfadiazine (SD), sulfamerazine (SM), sulfamethazine (SDM), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfapyridine (SPD), and sulfisoxazole (SIZ) calculated by the Langmuir model were 26.3, 50.3, 42.2, 27.3, 34.5, and 41.7 mg/g, respectively, which exceeded those of most reported adsorbents. In the adsorption process, hydrogen bonding, π-π electron donor-acceptor, electrostatic interaction, and bimetallic synergies play a major role, and the entire adsorption process is spontaneously endothermic. In addition, the material has excellent stability, and the Fe/Ni-PG after desorption is consistent with the raw material. This work provides a favorable way for the removal of SAs in the environment.

The Potential for PE Microplastics to Affect the Removal of Carbamazepine Medical Pollutants from Aqueous Environments by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes. TOXICS 2021; 9:toxics9060139. [PMID: 34204690 PMCID: PMC8231597 DOI: 10.3390/toxics9060139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic environments and interact with other kinds of pollutants, which affects the migration, transformation, and fate of those other pollutants. In this study, we employ carbamazepine (CBZ) as the contaminant to study the influence of polyethylene (PE) microplastics on the adsorption of CBZ pollutants by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) in aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity of CBZ by MCNTs in the presence of PE microplastics was obviously lower than that by MCNTs alone. The influencing factors, including the dose of microplastics, pH, and CBZ solution concentration, on the adsorption of CBZ by MCNTs and MCNTs-PE were thoroughly investigated. The adsorption rate of CBZ by MCNTs decreased from 97.4% to 90.6% as the PE microplastics dose increased from 2 g/L to 20 g/L. This decrease occurred because the MCNTs were coated on the surface of the PE microplastics, which further decreased the effective adsorption area of the MCNTs. This research provides a framework for revealing the effect of microplastics on the adsorption of pollutants by carbon materials in aqueous environments.
