Abstract
Vancomycin fermentation residue (VFR) is a by-product of the pharmaceutical industry with high ecotoxicity caused by the residual antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and heavy metals (HMs). In this study, the detoxification effect of hydrothermal treatment (HT) and pyrolysis for VFR was assessed using chemical analysis and toxicity tests. When VFR was subjected to HT and pyrolysis at ≥400 °C, more than 99.70 % of the residual vancomycin and all ARGs were removed. The HMs contents in VFR followed the order of manganese (676.2 mg/kg) > zinc (148.6 mg/kg) > chromium (25.40 mg/kg) > copper (17.20 mg/kg), and they were highly bioavailable and easily leached. However, HT and pyrolysis (≥400 °C) substantially reduced the bioavailable fractions and leaching properties of the HMs. After HT and pyrolysis at ≥ 400 °C, the potential ecological risk of HMs in VFR was reduced from considerable to moderate/low levels. The elutriate acute toxicity test suggested that HT and pyrolysis at ≥ 400 °C effectively reduced the toxicity of VFR to an acceptable level (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that HT and pyrolysis (≥400 °C) are promising methods for treating VFR and detoxifying it, and the treated products are safe for further reutilization.

Mu J, Chen Y, Wu X, Chen Q, Zhang M. Rapid and efficient removal of multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water using magnetic biochars derived from antibiotic fermentation residue. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 351:119685. [PMID: 38042070 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119685] [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: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Pyrolysis is a promising method to treat antibiotic fermentation residue (AFR), a hazardous waste in China, with the benefits of detoxification and resource recycling. However, the application of the AFR-derived biochar has been limited yet, restricting the use of pyrolysis to treat AFR. Herein, for the first time, we reported the use of magnetic biochars derived from vancomycin fermentation residue to rapidly and efficiently co-adsorb multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water with complex matrices. The biochar prepared at 700 °C (labeled as VBC700) exhibited high affinity and selectivity for multiple heavy metals, especially for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II). The kinetics for Ag(I), Hg(II), and Pb(II) were ultrafast with an equilibrium time of only 5 min, while those for Cu(II) were relatively slower. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) reached 177.4, 105.9, 387.1, 124.5 mg/g, respectively, which were superior to much previously reported adsorbents. Impressively, Na(I), K(I), Ca(II), Mg(II), and salinity did not affect the capture of these heavy metals, and thus >99% of Ag(I), Pb(II), and Cu(II) were concurrently removed from complex water matrices including seawater, which has rarely been reported before. Furthermore, VBC700 remained high adsorption performance at pH ≥ 3. The adsorption mechanisms included ion exchange, precipitation, and inner-sphere complexation. Overall, the results demonstrate that VBC700 would be an excellent adsorbent to co-capture multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water, highlighting the feasibility of using pyrolysis to achieve a win-win goal for AFR management and heavy metal pollution control.

Bamboo-derived nitrogen-doping magnetic porous hydrochar coactivated by K 2FeO 4 and CaCO 3 for phenol removal: Governing factors and mechanisms. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 331:121871.

Abstract
In this study, a novel nitrogen-doped magnetic Fe-Ca codoped biochar for phenol removal was successfully fabricated via a hydrothermal and coactivation pyrolysis method. A series of adsorption process parameters (K2FeO4 to CaCO3 ratio, initial phenol concentration, pH value, adsorption time, adsorbent dosage and ion strength) and adsorption models (kinetic models, isotherms and thermodynamic models) were determined using batch experiments and various analysis techniques (XRD, BET, SEM-EDX, Raman spectroscopy, VSM, FTIR and XPS) to investigate the adsorption mechanism and metal-nitrogen-carbon interaction. The biochar with a ratio of Biochar: K2FeO4: CaCO3 = 3:1:1 exhibited superior properties for adsorption of phenol and had a maximum adsorption capacity of 211.73 mg/g at 298 K, C0 = 200 mg/L, pH = 6.0 and t = 480 min. These excellent adsorption properties were due to superior physicomechanical properties (a large specific surface area (610.53 m2/g) and pore volume (0.3950 cm3/g), a well-developed pore structure (hierarchical), a high graphitization degree (ID/IG = 2.02), the presence of O/N-rich functional groups and Fe-Ox,Ca-Ox, N-doping, as well as synergistic activation by K2FeO4 and CaCO3). The Freundlich and pseudo-second-order models effectively fit the adsorption data, indicating multilayer physicochemical adsorption. Pore filling and π-π interactions were the predominant mechanisms for phenol removal, and H-bonding interactions, Lewis-acid-base interactions, and metal complexation played an important role in enhancing phenol removal. A simple, feasible approach with application potential to organic contaminant/pollutant removal was developed in this study.

Pyrolysis of Ca/Fe-rich antibiotic fermentation residues into biochars for efficient phosphate removal/recovery from wastewater: Turning hazardous waste to phosphorous fertilizer. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 869:161732. [PMID: 36682552 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Ca/Fe-rich antibiotic fermentation residues (AFRs), a type of hazardous waste, can be regarded as recyclable biomass and metal resources. However, concurrent detoxification and reutilization of biomass and metals resources from AFRs have never been reported before. In this study, Ca/Fe-rich vancomycin fermentation residues were pyrolyzed into biochar to adsorb phosphate for the first time. The residual vancomycin and antibiotic resistance genes were completely decomposed during pyrolysis. The resultant Ca/Fe-rich biochar exhibited excellent performance at adsorbing phosphate without further modifications. The process had rapid kinetics and a maximum adsorption capacity of 102 mg P/g. Ca and Fe were the active sites, whereas different mechanisms were observed under acidic and alkaline conditions. Surprisingly, HCO3- enhanced phosphate adsorption with an increase of adsorption capacity from 43.9 to 71.0 mg/g when HCO3- concentration increased from 1 to 10 mM. Furthermore, actual wastewater could be effectively treated by the biochar. The phosphate-rich spent biochar significantly promoted seed germination (germination rate: 96.7 % vs. 80.0 % in control group, p < 0.01) and seedling growth (shoot length was increased by 57.9 %, p < 0.01) due to the slow release of bioavailable phosphate, and thus could be potentially used as a phosphorous fertilizer. Consequently, the hazardous waste was turned into phosphorous fertilizer, with the additional benefits of detoxifying AFRs, reutilizing biomass and metal resources from AFRs, controlling phosphate pollution, and recovering phosphate from wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, poplar wood biochar modified with Fe3O4 (MPBC) was prepared using poplar wood as carbon source applied to remove tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. The adsorption behavior was investigated by batch experiments, and a series of characterization techniques were used to study the corresponding mechanism. Characterizations indicated that pore filling, electrostatic interactions, π-π interaction, surface complexation, and hydrogen bond contributed to the adsorption of antibiotics on MPBC. Most importantly, the thermodynamic experiment results showed that the adsorption capacity of MPBC for tetracyclines (70.28-89.58 mg⋅g-1) was significantly higher than fluoroquinolones (35.54-60.31 mg⋅g-1), which was further explained by hydrogen bond interactions calculated from Conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS). In addition, the adsorption between MPBC and antibiotics was favorable at lower ionic strengths and neutral conditions. Conclusively, this study could provide a promising approach to controlling the pollution of tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones.

Adsorption Characteristics and Mechanism of Methylene Blue in Water by NaOH-Modified Areca Residue Biochar. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
To solve the water pollution problem caused by methylene blue (MB), areca residue biochar (ARB) was prepared by pyrolysis at 600 °C, and modified areca residue biochar (M-ARB) was obtained by modifying ARB with 1.5 mol/L NaOH, and they were utilized to adsorb and eliminate MB from water. The structural characteristics of ARB and M-ARB were examined, and the main influencing factors and adsorption mechanism of MB adsorption process were investigated. The outcomes demonstrated an increase in M-ARB’s specific surface area and total pore volume of 66.67% and 79.61%, respectively, compared with ARB, and the pore structure was more abundant, and the content of oxygen element was also significantly increased. When the reaction temperature was 25 °C, starting pH of the mixture was 10, the initial MB concentration was 50 mg/L, the ARB and M-ARB dosages were 0.07 g/L and 0.04 g/L, respectively, the adsorption equilibrium was achieved at about 210 min, and the elimination rate for MB exceeded 94%. The adsorption behaviors of ARB and M-ARB on MB were more in line with the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 0.95) and the quasi-secondary kinetic model (R2 > 0.97), which was characterized by single-molecule layer chemisorption. The highest amount of MB that may theoretically be absorbed by M-ARB in water ranging from 136.81 to 152.72 mg/g was 74.99–76.59% higher than that of ARB. The adsorption process was a spontaneous heat absorption reaction driven by entropy increase, and the adsorption mechanism mainly involved electrostatic gravitational force, pore filling, hydrogen bonding, and π–π bonding, which was a complex process containing multiple mechanisms of action. NaOH modification can make the ARB have more perfect surface properties and more functional group structures that can participate in the adsorption reaction, which can be used as an advantageous adsorption material for MB removal in water.

Abstract
Aerobic composting combined with appropriate pretreatment is promising to achieve the utilization of antibiotics fermentation residues (AFRs). This research studied the effect of thermally activated peroxodisulfate (TAP) pretreatment on greenhouse gas (GHGs) emission, dissolved organic matter (DOM) and maturity evaluation during spiramycin fermentation residue (SFR) composting. Three treatments were conducted from co-composting of SFR and wheat straw, while 90% and 99.9% residual spirmycin removal pretreatment SFR by TAP were provided and compared with raw SFR. The cumulative CO2 and NH3 emissions increased by 17.2% and 30.8% after TAP pretreatment removed 99.9% residual spiramycin in SFR, while the cumulative CH4 and N2O emission decreased by 34.0% and 5.27%, respectively. The DOM, humic acid (HA)/fulvic acid (FA) and NH4+/NO3- analysis confirmed that the composting maturity was improved with the increasing of HA and NO3- content by TAP pretreatment.
