He R, Jiang Y, Liu Z, Wu J, Zhang X, Wu Y. Exploring the sorption/desorption of nitenpyram in loess soils: implications for neonicotinoid fate and ecological risk assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2024; 46:446. [PMID: 39316173 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-024-02234-6] [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: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024]
Abstract
Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides that accumulate in various environmental matrixes and potentially harm non-target organisms. However, the mechanism of sorption/desorption of neonicotinoids in different loess soils remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study investigated the sorption/desorption of nitenpyram (NIT), a commonly used neonicotinoid, in three different types of loess soils and examined factors influencing the adsorption process using batch experiments. The findings revealed that NIT reached adsorption equilibrium in 4 h in all three loess soil samples. The R2 value (> 0.898) obtained from fitting the sorption/desorption kinetics indicated a good match with the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting the involvement of multiple mechanisms, including chemisorption. The linear and Freundlich models also adequately described the sorption of NIT in loess soils. Additionally, a clear hysteresis phenomenon was observed. The adsorption capacity of NIT is significantly related to the adsorption temperature, solution pH and ionic strength. Upon increasing the initial concentration, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of NIT for gray-cinnamon soil, sierozem, and cultivated loessial soil increased from 3.56, 2.51, and 2.64 mg/kg to 8.49, 3.92, and 5.22 mg/kg, respectively. FTIR spectral analysis revealed that the adsorption of NIT in loess soil was primarily governed by mixed mechanism. This study elucidates the behavior and fate of NIT in soil-water systems in the Northwest, while also establishing a foundation for assessing its ecological risks. The findings have significant practical implications for the future development of environmental management and pollution control strategies.

A comprehensive and global evaluation of residual antibiotics in agricultural soils: Accumulation, potential ecological risks, and attenuation strategies. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 262:115175. [PMID: 37379666 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
The occurrence of antibiotics in agricultural soils has raised concerns due to their potential risks to ecosystems and human health. However, a comprehensive understanding of antibiotic accumulation, distribution, and potential risks to terrestrial ecosystems on a global scale is still limited. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the accumulation of antibiotics and their potential risks to soil microorganisms and plants, and highlighted the driving factors of antibiotic accumulation in agricultural soils based on 134 peer-reviewed studies (between 2000 and 2022). The results indicated that 56 types of antibiotics were detected at least once in agricultural soils with concentrations ranging from undetectable to over 7000 µg/kg. Doxycycline, tylosin, sulfamethoxazole, and enrofloxacin, belonging to the tetracyclines, macrolides, sulfonamides, and fluoroquinolones, respectively, were the most accumulated antibiotics in agricultural soil. The accumulation of TCs, SAs, and FQs was found to pose greater risks to soil microorganisms (average at 29.3%, 15.4%, and 21.8%) and plants (42.4%, 26.0%, and 38.7%) than other antibiotics. East China was identified as a hot spot for antibiotic contamination due to high levels of antibiotic concentration and ecological risk to soil microorganisms and plants. Antibiotic accumulation was found to be higher in vegetable fields (245.5 µg/kg) and orchards (212.4 µg/kg) compared to croplands (137.2 µg/kg). Furthermore, direct land application of manure resulted in a greater accumulation of TCs, SAs, and FQs accumulation in soils than compost fertilization. The level of antibiotics decreased with increasing soil pH and organic matter content, attributed to decreasing adsorption and enhancing degradation of antibiotics. In conclusion, this study highlights the need for further research on the impacts of antibiotics on soil ecological function in agricultural fields and their interaction mechanisms. Additionally, a whole-chain approach, consisting of antibiotic consumption reduction, manure management strategies, and remediation technology for soil contaminated with antibiotics, is needed to eliminate the potential environmental risks of antibiotics for sustainable and green agriculture.

Abstract
Sulfonamides (SAs) are common antibiotics that are widely present in the environment and can easily migrate in the environment, so they pose an environmental risk. Minerals and organic matter influence the antibiotic migration and transformation in sewage treatment plants, activated sludge, surface water, and soil environment. In the present paper, the influence of the process and mechanism of minerals and organic matter on the adsorption, degradation, and plant uptake of SAs in soil were summarized. In the impact process of mineral and organic matter on the SAs migration and transformation, the pH value is undoubtedly the most important factor because it determines the ionic state of SAs. In terms of influence mechanisms, the minerals absorb SAs well via cation exchange, complexation, H-bonding, and cation bridging. Mineral photodegradation is also one of the primary removal methods for SAs. Soil organic matter (SOM) can significantly increase the SAs adsorption. The adsorption forces of SAs and SOM or dissolved organic matter (DOM) were very similar, but SOM decreased SAs mobility in the environment, while DOM increased SAs availability. DOM generated active substances and aided in the photodegradation of SAs. This review describes the effects of minerals and organic matter on the fate of SAs in soil, which is useful in controlling the migration and transformation of SAs in the soil environment.

Influence of pH on the adsorption-desorption of doxycycline, enrofloxacin, and sulfamethoxypyridazine in soils with variable surface charge. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:114071. [PMID: 35995223 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114071] [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: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In this research, the adsorption/desorption of the antibiotics doxycycline (DC), enrofloxacin (ENR), and sulfamethoxypyradazine (SMP) was studied in 6 agricultural soils with predominance of variable charge, both before and after removing organic matter by calcination. DC adsorption was high at acidic pH, and decreased at pH values above 8. Removal of organic matter with calcination caused just a slight decrease in adsorption, and even in some soils adsorption was similar to that in non-calcined samples. The adsorption coefficients (Kd) were higher for the DC- species compared to DC+, DC0 and DC2-. Regarding DC desorption, the values were very low throughout the pH range covered in the study (2-12), both in the calcined samples and in those not subjected to calcination. ENR showed a similar behavior to DC regarding the effect of pH, since ENR adsorption also decreased at basic pH, but the effect of removing organic matter was different, as it caused a clear decrease in ENR adsorption. The species with the highest Kd was in this case ENR0, although ENR+ is also quantitatively important as regards Kd value in calcined samples. For this antibiotic, no differences in desorption were observed between calcined and non-calcined samples. Finally, SMP adsorption also decreased as pH increased, and, in addition, similarly to what happened with ENR, in general, there was a strong decrease in SMP adsorption when organic matter was removed. The species with the highest Kd in this case was SMP+ in non-calcined samples, but SMP0 and SMP- become more relevant in calcined samples. The percentages of SMP desorption were higher than those for the other two antibiotics, and an increase occurs at intermediate pH values, being higher for calcined samples. These results can be considered relevant in terms of increasing the knowledge as regards the possible evolution and fate of the three antibiotics studied. Specifically, for different pH conditions and with different organic matter contents, when they reach soils and other environmental compartments after being discharged as contaminants. This could have important repercussions on public health and the overall environment.

Pedotransfer functions to estimate the adsorption and desorption of sulfadiazine in agricultural soils. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 691:933-942. [PMID: 31326816 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.07.166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2019] [Revised: 07/11/2019] [Accepted: 07/11/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Batch-type experiments were used to study adsorption-desorption of sulfadiazine in 50 crop soils exposed to antibiotic pollution due to the spreading of animal manure or slurry. Adsorption and desorption curves were linear, and were satisfactorily described using the linear and Freundlich equations. The Freundlich adsorption constant (KF(ad)) showed low values (between 0.4 and 9.0 L1/n μmol1-1/n kg-1), which were similar to those of the adsorption constant for the linear model (Kd(ad), between 0.3 and 12.0 L kg-1). Furthermore, the desorption constant for the linear model (Kd(des)) showed higher values than those of Kd(ad), ranging between 1.6 and 29.3 L kg-1, while the values of the Freundlich desorption constant (KF(des)) ranged from 0.10 to 36.8 L1/n μmol1-1/n kg-1. The percentages of adsorption were very variable, ranging from 10 to 87%. The soil characteristics that most influenced adsorption-desorption were those related to soil organic matter (organic carbon and nitrogen contents), as well as the effective cation exchange capacity, and pH. In addition, statistically robust pedotransfer functions were obtained, allowing prediction of adsorption-desorption behavior for sulfadiazine from readily determinable soil parameters, such as pH or organic carbon content.

Abstract
Batch-type experiments were used to study adsorption-desorption of three sulfonamides: sulfadiazine (SDZ) sulfachloropyridazine (SCP), and sulfamethazine (SMT), in five crop soils, whereas laboratory soil column experiments were employed to obtain data on transport processes. Adsorption results were satisfactorily adjusted to Linear and Feundlich equations, with R2 values above 0.95. Adsorption followed the sequence SDZ < SMT < SCP, showing higher values for soils with higher levels of organic carbon (OC) content. Conversely, desorption was higher in soils with less OC, and lower in soils with higher OC contents. The temporal moment analysis method gave values for the transport parameters τ and R which were significantly correlated with soil parameters related to organic matter, specifically OC and N concentrations. The higher retention of the three sulfonamides in soils with high organic matter content is a relevant fact, with value when programming management practices in agricultural soils, and specifically in relation to the spreading of animal manures, slurries, or waste containing these emerging pollutants.

Abstract
This work presents ferrate(VI) (FeVIO42-, FeVI) oxidation of a wide range of sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) containing five- and six-membered heterocyclic moieties ( R) in their molecular structures. Kinetics measurements of the reactions between FeVI and SAs at different pH (6.5-10.0) give species-specific second-order rate constants, k5 and k6 of the reactions of protonated FeVI (HFeO4-) and unprotonated FeVI (FeVIO42-) with protonated SAs (HX), respectively. The values of k5 varied from (1.2 ± 0.1) × 103 to (2.2 ± 0.2) × 104 M-1 s-1, while the range of k6 was from (1.1 ± 0.1) × 102 to (1.0 ± 0.1) × 103 M-1 s-1 for different SAs. The transformation products of reaction between FeVI and sulfadiazine (SDZ, contains a six-membered R) include SO2 extrusion oxidized products (OPs) and aniline hydroxylated products. Comparatively, oxidation of sulfisoxazole (SIZ, a five-membered R) by FeVI has OPs that have no SO2 extrusion in their structures. Density functional theory calculations are performed to demonstrate SO2 extrusion in oxidation of SDZ by FeVI. The detailed mechanisms of oxidation are proposed to describe the differences in the oxidation of six- and five-membered heterocyclic moieties ( R) containing SAs (i.e., SDZ versus SIZ) by FeVI.

Abstract
Using manure contaminated with antibiotics as fertilizer is a primary source of soil pollution with antibiotics and concomitantly with antibiotic resistance genes (ARG). Bioavailable antibiotics trigger further ARG amplification during manure storage. Consequently it is aimed to facilitate the immobilization of antibiotics in manure. To this end, five biochars derived from pine cone (BCP), rice husk, sewage sludge, digestate and Miscanthus were tested as additional sorbents in liquid pig manure for sulfamethazine, ciprofloxacin, oxytetracycline and florfenicol. Non-linear sorption was best-fit using the Freundlich isotherm (R2 > 0.82) and the pseudo-second-order model best described sorption kinetics (R2 > 0.94). Antibiotics' sorption onto manure increased in the order sulfamethazine < florfenicol < ciprofloxacin < oxytetracycline. Admixtures of BCP to manure changed the order to sulfamethazine < oxytetracycline < florfenicol = ciprofloxacin. Generally, with the addition of biochar, sorption coefficients of florfenicol increased most (by factors>2.7) followed by sulfamethazine and ciprofloxacin. Yet, oxytetracycline was mostly mobilized probably due to competitive adsorption. Effects depended on the proportion of biochar added and the type of biochar, whereby plant-derived biochar exhibited better immobilization of antibiotics. Depending on the type and portion of biochar, admixtures to manure can be used to lower the mobility and hence bioavailability of fenicols, fluoroquinolones and sulfonamides.

Abstract
Antibiotics and heavy metals often coexist in soils due to land application of animal wastes and other sources of inputs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interaction of Cu(II) and sulfadiazine (SDZ) regarding to their sorption and desorption on Brown soil (BS, luvisols) and Red soil (RS, Udic Ferrosols) using batch experiments. The presence of Cu(II) significantly enhanced sorption of SDZ on BS at pH>5.0, and this trend increased with increasing pH, which was mainly ascribed to the formation of ternary complexes of Cu-SDZ-soil and/or SDZ-Cu-soil. In contrast, Cu(II) only slightly increased SDZ sorption on RS at pH<5.0 due to the decrease of equilibrium solution pH, whereas it hardly affected SDZ sorption at pH>5.0 because RS had high oxides contents and low affinity for Cu(II). In addition, Cu(II) inhibited SDZ desorption from BS but promoted SDZ desorption from RS, which was related to their different sorption mechanisms. The presence of SDZ exerted no significant effect on the sorption of Cu(II) on the two soils at pH<6.5 because of its low sorption coefficients (Kd), while slightly decreased Cu(II) sorption at pH>6.5 by forming water-soluble complexes. Furthermore, SDZ had little effect on Cu(II) desorption from the two soils at natural pH. These results indicate that soil characteristics strongly influence the interactions of Cu(II) and SDZ on their sorption and desorption on soils.

Abstract
Although sulfonamides (SAs) are among the most commonly used veterinary drugs and their presence in the environment is well documented, knowledge of their fate and behavior in the soil environment is still limited, especially for sulfisoxazole (SSX) which is characterized by the lowest (among other SAs) pK a value associated with acid-base equilibrium of sulfonamide group. Thus, this work was focused on determining the sorption potential of SSX onto natural soils differing in physicochemical properties. All the results were modeled using linear, Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Temkin sorption isotherms. The established sorption coefficients (K(d)) for SSX were quite low (from 0.27 to 0.95 L kg(-1)), which indicated that this substance is highly mobile and has the potential to run off into surface waters and/or infiltrate ground water. The sorption data of SSX is well fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model (R(2) > 0.968). Moreover, we assessed the sorption mechanism of these compounds in the edaphic environment with respect to organic matter (OM) content, pH, and ionic strength. To clarify the current state of knowledge, these factors were examined much more thoroughly than in previous investigations concerning other SAs. The wide range of ionic strength examined showed positive correlation of this factor and sorption of SAs. The results also yielded new insight into dependency of sorption of SAs on organic matter content in soil.

JOURNAL OF CONTAMINANT HYDROLOGY 2015; 177-178:30-42.

Abstract
Based on small-scale laboratory and field-scale lysimeter experiments, the sorption and biodegradation of sulfonamide sulfadiazine (SDZ) were investigated in unsaturated sandy and silty-clay soils. Sorption and biodegradation were low in the laboratory, while the highest leaching rates were observed when SDZ was mixed with manure. The leaching rate decreased when SDZ was mixed with pure water, and was smallest with the highest SDZ concentrations. In the laboratory, three transformation products (TPs) developed after an initial lag phase. However, the amount of TPs was different for different mixing-scenarios. The TP 2-aminopyrimidine was not observed in the laboratory, but was the most prevalent TP at the field scale. Sorption was within the same range at the laboratory and field scales. However, distinctive differences occurred with respect to biodegradation, which was higher in the field lysimeters than at the laboratory scale. While the silty-clay soil favored sorption of SDZ, the sandy, and thus highly permeable, soil was characterized by short half-lives and thus a quick biodegradation of SDZ. For 2-aminopyrimidine, half-lives of only a few days were observed. Increased field-scale biodegradation in the sandy soil resulted from a higher water and air permeability that enhanced oxygen transport and limited oxygen depletion. Furthermore, low pH was more important than the organic matter and clay content for increasing the biodegradation of SDZ. A numerical analysis of breakthrough curves of bromide, SDZ, and its TPs showed that preferential flow pathways strongly affected the solute transport within shallow parts of the soil profile at the field scale. However, this effect was reduced in deeper parts of the soil profile. Due to high field-scale biodegradation in several layers of both soils, neither SDZ nor 2-aminopyrimidine was detected in the discharge of the lysimeter at a depth of 1m. Synthetic 50 year long simulations, which considered the application of manure with SDZ for general agricultural practices in Germany and humid climate conditions, showed that the concentration of SDZ decreased below 0.1 μg/L in both soils below the depth of 50 cm.

Abstract
In this paper, batch sorption of sulfamethazine on eight soil samples (six from Croatia and two from Bosnia and Hercegovina) with different organic matter contents ranging from 1.52 to 12.8% was investigated. The effects of various parameters such as agitation time, initial concentration, and ionic strength on the sulfamethazine sorption were studied. The experimental data were analysed using a one-parameter model, Linear isotherm, and two two-parameter models, the Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. The goodness of fit was measured using the linear regression and the determination coefficient (R(2)) value. Also, the equilibrium data of the two-parameter models were analysed using the residual root mean square error (RMSE), the sum of squares of errors (ERRSQ), and a composite fractional error function (HYBRID). Non-linear regression has better characteristics for analysing experimental data. The obtained sorption coefficients Kd (from 0.25 to 8.10 mL/g) and the Freundlich sorption coefficients KF (from 1.16 to 7.99 (μg/g)(mL/μg)(1/n)) exhibited quite low values, which indicated that sulfamethazine is weakly adsorbed on the evaluated soils, is highly mobile, and has a great potential to penetrate and pollute the ground water. The Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm was used to estimate the apparent free energy of sorption.
