Abstract
Fe-based composites improved the energy utilization efficiency of plasma for removing contaminants through multi-catalysis have received much attention. However, the energy efficiency and catalytic activity are compromised by the slow transformation from Fe (Ⅲ) to Fe (Ⅱ). Here, given the electron-donating ability of reducing sulfur species, as well as the acidic environment generated by FeS2, single FeS2 was introduced into the glow discharge plasma (GDP) reactor for the removal of tylosin (TYL). The results showed that a significant synergistic effect between FeS2 and GDP improved the energy efficiency of plasma and the removal efficiency of TYL (99.7%). FeS2 boosted the generation of radicals (·OH, ·O2-) and nonradicals (h+, e-) rather than H2O2 and O3, which played an important role in TYL abatement. Moreover, the electrons donating sulfur and iron species from FeS2 can accelerate the conversion of Fe(III) to Fe(II), which was conducive to the generation of radicals. Besides, acid solution self-adjustment resulted from the oxidation of FeS2 improved heterogeneous Fenton reaction, the oxidation potential of ·OH and adsorption of positive charged TYL. The plausible degradation pathways of TYL were proposed in GDP/FeS2 system. In summary, enhanced removal of TYL was mainly attributed to the catalytic pathway altered by FeS2 through high-energy electrons, photocatalysis, heterogeneous Fenton and O3 catalysis in the GDP system simultaneously. The strategy of integrating GDP with FeS2 proposed in this work is expected to offer a feasible and potential technique for organic wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Microbial bioremediation offers a solution to the problem of residual antibiotics in wastewater associated with animal farms. Efficient degradation of antibiotic residues depends upon the genetic make-up of microbial degraders, which requires a comprehensive understanding of the degradation mechanisms. In this study, a novel, efficient tylosin (TYL)-degrading bacterium, Providencia stuartii TYL-Y13 (Y13) was isolated, which could completely degrade 100 mg/L TYL within 15 h under optimal operating conditions at 40 ℃, pH 7.0 %, and 1 % (v/v) bacterial inoculation rate. Whole genome sequencing revealed that strain Y13 consists of a circular chromosome and two plasmids. A new biodegradation pathway of TYL including desugarification, hydrolysis, and reduction reactions was proposed through the analysis of biodegradation products. It was demonstrated that strain Y13 gradually decreased the biotoxicity of TYL and its metabolites based on the results of the ecological structural activity relationships (ECOSAR) model analysis and toxicity assessment. Moreover, Y13 promoted the reduction of the target macrolide resistance genes in wastewater and disappeared within 84 h. These results shed new light on the mechanism of TYL biodegradation and better utilization of microbes to remediate TYL contamination.

Abstract
Black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) larvae (BSF larvae or BSFL) offer an environmental-friendly method for degrading antibiotics, such as tylosin (TYL) and enrofloxacin (EF), in swine manure. This study examined the impact of temperature on this process, role of associated microbes, dynamics of resistant genes, and a description of the microbial community associated with the BSF larval gut, how microbes isolated from the BSF larval gut as inoculants impact the process as well as enhance antibiotic digestion, and finally a quantification of antibiotics in BSF larvae fed manure with TYL or EF. Antibiotic degradation in manure was optimized at 28 °C with at least 10% greater than 23 °C and 37 °C. More than 40% reduction in TYL and EF concentrations in the manure occurred when BSF larval gut associated microbes were present. Furthermore, DNA extracted from the gut of non-sterile BSF larvae fed manure with TYL or EF indicated at least two 2-△△Ct fold increase in antibiotic resistance genes for TYL and EF. We identified 250, 4, and 16 unique operational taxa for larvae fed control manure and manure with either TYL or EF. Intestinal microbes isolated from non-sterile larvae fed manure with TYL or EF, were identified, cultured, and examined for their ability to degrade TYL and EF in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium. Three strains (two strains of Enterococcus faecalis and one strain of Proteus mirabilis) resulted in at least 50% TYL or EF degradation within 96 h. Sterile BSF larvae inoculated with P. mirabilis recovered >60% of the degradation ability exhibited by non-sterile larvae. Finally, no TYL residuals were found in 14-d-old larvae, prepupae, or pupae of BSF immatures fed manure containing these antibiotics. While ∼65 μg/g and ∼20 μg/g of EF were found in larval contents and pupal exoskeleton, respectively.

Abstract
The sorption of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) on soil and soil components makes an important contribution to the fate, migration and bioavailability of PPCPs. Previous reviews have mostly focused on the sorption of PPCPs on single soil components (e.g., minerals and soil organic matter). However, the sorption of PPCPs within the whole soil system has not been systematically analyzed. This paper reviews the recent progress on PPCP sorption on soil and soil components. We have evaluated the sorption of a wide range of PPCPs in research fields that are usually considered in isolation (e.g., humic acids (HAs), montmorillonite, kaolinite, and goethite), and established a bridge between PPCPs and sorbent. The sorption mechanisms of PPCPs, e.g., cation exchange, surface complexation, electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding, are discussed and critically evaluated. We also assessed the influence of environmental factors (pH, ionic strength, organic matter and temperature) on sorption. This review summarizes the knowledge of PPCPs sorption on soil gained in recent years, which can provide new strategies for solving the problem of antibiotic pollution.

Abstract
Microplastics are widespread in the environment and might transport readily by ocean currents, wind and atmospheric deposition. Simultaneously, antibiotics and heavy metals could often be detected in the environment. They are both positively charged, it is necessary to clarify the interactions of these pollutants with microplastics when they were coexist. In this study, the most commonly used polystyrene (PS) was selected as a representative microplastic. This study investigated the effect of Cd(II) on the sorption of TYL by PS in different coexistence systems. The results showed that: in the composite system, when TYL and Cd(II) coexist, the presence of Cd(II) could inhibit the sorption of TYL by PS, and the inhibitory effect increases with the increase of the concentration of Cd(II), indicating that competitive sorption dominates the sorption. When PS adsorbed Cd(II) first and then adsorbed TYL, the presence of Cd(II) was conducive to the sorption of TYL, and the sorption strengthened with the increase of Cd(II) concentration, indicating that the complexation between TYL and Cd(II) enhanced the sorption of TYL. In addition, initial pH values and ionic strength were essential in the sorption process. Therefore, this study could provide an important basis for evaluating the environmental behavior and ecological risk of microplastics in the process of compound pollution.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) that have accumulated in the environment are emerging as contaminating pollutants due to their interactions with metal ions. MPs change the migration and transformation of metal ions in the environment and afterward impact their environmental presence. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the interaction characteristics and mechanisms between Cd2+and MPs for assessing the ecological impacts of MPs. The traditional sequencing batch equilibrium test demonstrated that the sorption of Cd2+ onto MPs was related to the type of MPs present, the pH value of the solution, the ionic strength of the participants and the presence of humic acid. The sorption dynamics and isotherm experiment illustrated that the interactions were controlled by surface sorption and distribution effects. The specific surface area and surface charge were the main factors in managing the sorption process. FTIR spectra and a 2D-COS analysis showed that different functional groups played an important role in the sorption of Cd2+onto MPs. The results from this work afford new insights on how MPs may play an important role in the fate and transport of heavy metals and present a new analysis method for evaluating the environmental behavior of MPs and their role in transporting other contaminants.

Abstract
Extracellular DNA (eDNA), which is commonly detected in aquatic and terrestrial environments, may be involved in gene transfer, increases in genetic diversity, and evolution. However, it has been reported that some small organic molecules or heavy metal ions can influence the transformation of DNA and even destroy its structure. We previously found that tylosin (TYL, a kind of antibiotic) is adsorbed onto salmon sperm DNA in a mixed solution. However, it is not clear whether this antibiotic affects the structure of DNA, and the mechanism of their interaction needs to be clarified. Therefore, we investigated the adsorption of TYL on different concentrations of salmon sperm DNA using agarose gel electrophoresis, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to elucidate the interaction mechanism between TYL and DNA. The results showed that the adsorption of TYL decreased with increased concentrations of DNA. The electrophoresis band of pristine DNA was at 5000 bps. The brightness of the DNA band decreased with the TYL concentration and their incubation time. As the concentration of TYL increased, the fluorescence absorption intensity of DNA decreased significantly. Redshift and hyperchromicity were observed in the UV-vis adsorption spectrum with the presence of TYL in DNA solution, and they weakened as the DNA concentration increased. The Raman spectrum intensities of characteristic peaks in the mixed solution were weaker than that of pure TYL solution, and the peak intensity increased with increasing DNA concentration. Even a part of TYL characteristic peaks disappeared in the mixed solution. These results indicated that the pyran and macrolide of TYL might intercalate into the base pair plane of DNA. In addition, electrostatic attraction between TYL and DNA and interactions among TYL molecules may also play a role in the interaction mechanism. However, the double helix structure of DNA was not subject to the interaction of TYL.

Abstract
Tylosin (Tyl) is a veterinary antibiotic commonly used in swine and poultry production. Due to metabolic inefficiencies, it enters the environment through manure applications. Ion exchange is an important retention mechanism for Tyl, particularly for smectite clay. The objectives of this study are to characterize the exchange interactions of Tyl with common soil cations in subsoil horizons that contain smectite and to investigate the interactions using in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Adsorbed Tyl in pH neutral, smectitic subsoil horizons is divided into exchangeable and nonexchangeable forms. The percentage of adsorbed Tyl that is exchangeable varies from 36% to 43% when Na+ is the competing cation, and from 57% to 66% when Ca2+ competes. In NaX-TylX binary exchange systems, neither Na+ nor Tyl+ is preferred by the clay exchange phase, and the Vanselow selectivity coefficients (KV) for the NaX→TylX exchange reaction range between 0.79 and 1.41. In the CaX2-TylX systems, Tyl+ is preferred by the clay exchange phase when the equivalent fraction of TylX (ETylX) is less than 0.4. The KV values for the CaX2→TylX exchange reaction are at a maximum at the lowest ETylX values, with 17.6 <KV < 58.1, then decrease with increasing ETylX to 1.34 <KV < 6.28. Adsorbed Tyl masks the CEC of the soil clays; the effect is greatest in systems that are initially Tyl-saturated, and is attributed to the steric effects of the large Tyl molecule. In situ FTIR indicates that Tyl interacts with soil iron oxides through the dimethylamine moiety.

Abstract
Nitrofurantoin is nitrofuran antibacterial drug that is most used as a veterinary pharmaceutic compound. This compound, as well as other pharmaceuticals can greatly affect the environment, the soil and organisms in it and pollute aquatic ecosystems. Since it has been used for only a few decades, knowledge of their fate and behaviour in the environment is still limited. Because of that, the aim of this study was to experimentally determine the Kd values of nitrofurantoin in seven different natural soil and seven different sediment samples with different physico-chemical properties. Sorption phenomena were described with Linear, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich sorption isotherms. Obtained sorption coefficients (Kd) ranged from 3.967 to 5.121 mLg-1 for sediment samples and 3.634-43.06 mL g-1 for soil samples. The influence of ionic strength and pH of the nitrofurantoin solution and kinetics of the sorption and desorption process were also investigated. Results show that an increase in ionic strength and pH reduces the values of sorption coefficient while the mechanism of nitrofurantoin sorption is the best described with the kinetic model of pseudo-second order.

Abstract
The macrolide antibiotic tylosin is widely used in animal production, but its environmental fate is not fully understood. Objectives of this study were to determine the effect of pH on tylosin A sorption and desorption in three sandy loam soils from Louisiana, USA, that had long histories of poultry waste application, to model sorption and desorption, and to estimate the effect of high soil organic matter on sorption. Twenty-four-hour sorption isotherms (5 to 200 mg L in 0.01 M CaCl) at pH 4.5, 6.0, and pH 7.5 were described by the Freundlich model. Desorption from the 200-mg L set at constant pH by 10 24-h extractions with 0.01 M CaCl recovered 43 to 98% of the added tylosin A, and further desorption with methanol increased recovery from 66 to 100%. Single-point distribution coefficient, as a function of pH from 4 to 9 in 0.01 M CaCl exhibited maxima from pH 6 to 7, reflecting increasing sorption of the positively charged form with increasing pH up to about the pKa. The data were well described, modeling pH-dependent negative charge according to Henderson-Hasselbalch along with tylosin speciation. Using soil from which organic matter had been removed by HO gave three to six times greater K at pH 6 to 7, but without or with reduced maxima. The data could be approximately described without invoking pH-dependent surface charge. Further study is needed to confirm whether an increase in soil organic matter with poultry waste application decreases tylosin sorption, thus increasing environmental risk.

[PMID: 30743874 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.07.239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2018] [Revised: 06/15/2018] [Accepted: 07/17/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Biochar, can be used as a sorbent material to sequester organic contaminants in soils. In this study, the sorption-desorption behavior of atrazine (AT) was studied in latosol (L) supplemented with varying doses of cassava waste biochar (CW). Changes in the release of AT were assessed with varying aging time (0-60 days) and environmental factors (pH, ionic strength, solid-liquid ratio and disturbance intensity). Results indicate that the addition of 0.1%-5% (w/w) CW in L, promoted AT adsorption by 1.7- to 36-fold as compared with the natural soil control, after 60 days. The release of AT from biochar-amended soil was significantly affected by pH ranged from 3 to 9 and the amount of desorbed AT increased with increasing pH conditions. 0.05 mol/L Ca2+ enhanced AT sorption by biochar. The release of AT increased with increasing solid-liquid ratio (at the ratio of 1:10, 1:15, 1:20) and disturbance intensity, surface complexation and cation exchange were found to play important roles in sorption mechanisms.

Abstract
Polyethylenimine (PEI) functionalized kaolinite clay was successfully prepared, characterized, and assessed for the remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) comprising the aldehyde, carboxylic acid, and disulfide functional group classes. A gas chromatographic vapor capture assay evaluated the capability of unmodified and modified clay material to capture representative aldehyde, carboxylic acid, and disulfide VOCs in a laboratory setting. Unmodified kaolinite (Kao) clay was moderately or poorly effective at remediating these VOCs, while the poly(amine) functionalized Kao was capable of capturing VOCs in the vapor phase with reductions up to 100%. Sample cartridge tubes were packed with PEI-functionalized clay in order to assess their ability to reduce the detectable volatile fatty acid load at an open-air rendering plant in a relevant field test for applying these materials in a packed-bed scrubber application. The PEI-Kao packed cartridges were capable of significantly reducing the detectable concentration of volatile fatty acid effluent from the rendering operation. These volatile fatty acids are major contributors to nuisance odors associated with rendering.

Abstract
After oxidation, abrasion and crushing, microplastics (MPs) can enter the aqueous environment and may adsorb surrounding organic pollutants, altering its migration and spatial distribution. Therefore, an investigation of the sorption properties and mechanism of organic pollutant on MPs can offer a theoretical basis for scientific evaluation of their ecological risks. Using tylosin (TYL) as a model pollutant, the sorption performance of MPs was examined via a series of batch equilibrium experiments which resulted the sorptive removal of TYL on MPs reached equilibrium at 36 h, and the sorption ability of TYL on the MPs followed the order of PE (polyethylene) < PP (polypropylene) < PS (polystyrene) < PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The pseudo-second-order model well fit for the sorption kinetics data, and the adsorption isotherms could be better described by Freundlich equation rather than Langmuir model. Additionally, the initial solution pH and ionic strength played important roles across the adsorption. The sorption procedure of TYL on MPs was dominated by electrostatic interaction, surface complexation and hydrophobic interaction.

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.

Abstract
Aniline aerofloat (AAF), a high-toxic organic flotation reagent, is widely used in mineral processing industry. However, little information on its environmental fate is available. AAF sorption to four types of agricultural soils at low concentrations (1-10 mg/L) was investigated using batch experiments. AAF sorption kinetics involved both boundary layer diffusion and intraparticle diffusion, following pseudo-second-order kinetics with equilibrium time within 120 min. Both Langmuir and Freundlich models fitted well the AAF sorption with the former better. Sorption of AAF to soils was a spontaneous and favorable physical sorption that was controlled by ion bridge effect and hydrophobic interaction that was related to van der Waals force and π-π coordination based on FTIR analyses. AAF sorption was remarkably affected by soil constituents, positively correlating with the contents of organic matter and clay. The relatively higher logKoc values (3.53-4.66) of AAF at environmental concentrations (1-5 mg/L) imply that soils are serving as a sink of AAF from beneficiation wastewater, posing great potential risks to environment and human health.

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
Our previous study showed that the sorption coefficient of certain polar pharmaceuticals to river sediment, especially particular amines, was unexpectedly high. Thus, we conducted sorption experiments of selected polar pharmaceuticals and pyrene derivatives, including amines, carboxylic acids, and neutral compounds, to model clay minerals, i.e., montmorillonite and kaolin, in addition to silica sands and humic substances. The contribution of each component was roughly estimated by simple fractionation of the individual sorption coefficients. Relatively high sorption coefficients (K d values) were found, especially for amines on clay minerals, which suggest that electrochemical affinity may play an important role. The estimated contribution percentage suggests a relatively large contribution from inorganic constituents, such as clay minerals, for silt loam soil; in contrast, organic components predominantly contribute for sandy river sediments. These findings could be the key to understanding not only the fate and transport but also bioavailability and environmental risks of pharmaceuticals, which are mostly polar and/or ionizable.

Abstract
Tylosin, an antibiotic used for maintaining livestock health, is a macrolide structurally similar to a number of important, often prescribed human antibiotics. Because of this relationship, tylosin presents a potential threat of antimicrobial resistance from environmental buildup. This work investigated tylosin sorption to natural diatomaceous earth product (DE) and the types of physical interactions responsible for sorption. Most sorption processes were best described by the Langmuir model when compared with Freundlich model. Heat of sorption (ΔH) was 1.14 kJ mol-1 indicating a physisorption process. Change in entropy (ΔS) was 119 J mol-1. Sorption was evaluated from aqueous solution with various H+, KCl and Urea concentrations. In 0.01 M phosphate buffer (PB) pH 6.6, a maximum sorption capacity of 15 mg tylosin per g of DE was achieved. Changing the pH to 2.9 or 11.2 resulted in decreased sorption of tylosin (13 and 10 mg g-1, respectively). Addition of 1 M KCl to 0.01 M PB pH 6.6 decreased sorption of tylosin to DE with the maximum binding capacity of 7 mg g-1. Sorption in 1.0 M urea, 0.01 M phosphate buffer pH 6.6 showed a maximum sorption of 13 mg g-1. Based on these results, the sorption of tylosin appears to be a physisorption process, with charge-charge interactions being the mode of sorption at neutral pH and small contributions from secondary interactions. This information will be useful for developing effective strategies for mitigating tylosin and other antimicrobial's impact on the environment.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical residues presence in the environment is among nowadays top emergent environmental issues. For removal of such pollutants, adsorption is a generally efficient process that can be complementary to conventional treatment. Research of cheap, widely available adsorbents may make this process economically attractive. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the capacity of two clay materials (exfoliated vermiculite, LECA) to adsorb gemfibrozil, mefenamic acid and naproxen in lab-scale batch assays. Results show that both adsorbents are able to remove the pharmaceuticals from aqueous medium. Although vermiculite exhibited higher adsorption capacities per unit mass of adsorbent, LECA yielded higher absolute removals of the pharmaceuticals due to the larger mass of adsorbent. Quantum chemistry calculations predicted that the forms of binding of the three molecules to the vermiculite surface are essentially identical, but the adsorption isotherm of naproxen differs substantially from the other two's. The linear forms of the latter impose limits at lower concentrations to the removal efficiencies of these pharmaceuticals by vermiculite, thereby electing LECA as more efficient. Notwithstanding, vermiculite's high specific adsorption capacity and also its much faster adsorption kinetics suggest that there may be some benefits in combining both materials as a composite adsorbent solution.

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) used as cationic surfactants are intensively released into environment to be pollutants receiving more and more concerns. Sorption of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), one of commonly used alkyl QACs, to five types of agricultural soils at low concentrations (1-50mg/L) was investigated using batch experiments. DTAC sorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and reached reaction equilibrium within 120min. Both Freundlich model and Langmuir model fitted well with DTAC isotherm data with the latter better. DTAC sorption was spontaneous and favorable, presenting a physical sorption dominated by ion exchanges. Sorption distribution coefficient and sorption affinity demonstrated that soil clay contents acted as a predominant phase of DTAC sorption. DTAC could display a higher mobility and potential accumulation in crops in the soils with lower clay contents and lower pH values. Sorption of DTAC was heavily affected by ions in solution with anion promotion and cation inhibition.

Abstract
Tylosin (TYL) and sulfamethazine (SMT) are ionizable and polar antimicrobial compounds, which have seeped into the environment in substantial amounts via fertilizing land with manure or sewage. Sorption of TYL and SMT onto humic acid (HA) may affect their environmental fate. In this study, the sorption of TYL and SMT on HA at different conditions (pH, ionic strength) was investigated. All sorption isotherms fitted well to the Henry and Freundlich models and they were highly nonlinear with values of n between 0.5 and 0.8, which suggested that the HA had high heterogeneity. The sorption of TYL and SMT on HA decreased with increasing pH (2.0-7.5), implying that the primary sorption mechanism could be due to cation exchange interactions between TYL(+)/SMT(+) species and the functional groups of HA. Increasing ionic strength resulted in a considerable reduction in the Kd values of TYL and SMT, hinting that interactions between H bonds and π-π EDA might be an important factor in the sorption of TYL and SMT on HA. Results of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and (13)C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis further demonstrated that carboxyl groups and O-alkyl structures in the HA could interact with TYL and SMT via ionic interactions and H bonds, respectively. Overall, this work gives new insights into the mechanisms of sorption of TYL and SMT on HA and hence aids us in assessing the environmental risk of TYL and SMT under diverse conditions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was first to examine the electrochemical oxidation of two antibiotics, tetracycline (TC) and tylosin (Tylo), considered separately or in mixture, on a glassy carbon electrode in aqueous solutions; and then to assess the relevance of such electrochemical process as a pre-treatment prior to a biological treatment (activated sludge) for the removal of these antibiotics. The influence of the working potential and the initial concentration of TC and Tylo on the electrochemical pre-treatment process was also investigated. It was noticed that antibiotics degradation was favoured at high potential (2.4 V/ saturated calomel electrode (SCE)), achieving total degradation after 50 min for TC and 40 min for Tylo for 50 mg L(-1) initial concentration, with a higher mineralization efficiency in the case of TC. The biological oxygen demand in 5 days (BOD5)/Chemical oxygen demand (COD) ratio increased substantially, from 0.033 to 0.39 and from 0.038 to 0.50 for TC and Tylo, respectively. Regarding the mixture (TC and Tylo), the mineralization yield increased from 10.6% to 30.0% within 60 min of reaction time when the potential increased from 1.5 to 2.4 V/SCE and the BOD5/COD ratio increased substantially from 0.010 initially to 0.29 after 6 h of electrochemical pre-treatment. A biological treatment was, therefore, performed aerobically during 30 days, leading to an overall decrease of 72% of the dissolved organic carbon by means of the combined process.

Sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds on natural sorbents and organoclays from aqueous and non-aqueous solutions: a mini-review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2014; 11:5020-48. [PMID: 24821385 PMCID: PMC4053894 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph110505020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2013] [Revised: 04/16/2014] [Accepted: 04/30/2014] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Renewed focus on the sorption of hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) onto mineral surfaces and soil components is required due to the increased and wider range of organic pollutants being released into the environment. This mini-review examines the possibility of the contribution and mechanism of HOC sorption onto clay mineral sorbents such as kaolinite, and soil organic matter and the possible role of both in the prevention of environmental contamination by HOCs. Literature data indicates that certain siloxane surfaces can be hydrophobic. Therefore soils can retain HOCs even at low soil organic levels and the extent will depend on the structure of the pollutant and the type and concentration of clay minerals in the sorbent. Clay minerals are wettable by nonpolar solvents and so sorption of HOCs onto them from aqueous and non-aqueous solutions is possible. This is important for two reasons: firstly, the movement and remediation of soil environments will be a function of the concentration and type of clay minerals in the soil. Secondly, low-cost sorbents such as kaolinite and expandable clays can be added to soils or contaminated environments as temporary retention barriers for HOCs. Inorganic cations sorbed onto the kaolinite have a strong influence on the rate and extent of sorption of hydrophobic organic pollutants onto kaolinite. Structural sorbate classes that can be retained by the kaolinite matrix are limited by hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups of the octahedral alumosilicate sheet and the tetrahedral sheet with silicon. Soil organic carbon plays a key role in the sorption of HOCs onto soils, but the extent will be strongly affected by the structure of the organic soil matter and the presence of soot. Structural characterisation of soil organic matter in a particular soil should be conducted during a particular contamination event. Contamination by mining extractants and antibiotics will require renewed focus on the use of the QSAR approaches in the context of the sorption of HOCs onto clay minerals from aqueous and non-aqueous solutions.
