[PMID: 39028459 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-34355-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
The occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs), genes (ARGs), and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in aquatic systems is growing global public health concern. These emerging micropollutants, stemming from improper wastewater treatment and disposal, highlight the complex and evolving nature of environmental pollution. Current literature reveals potential biases, such as a geographical focus on specific regions, leading to an insufficient understanding of the global distribution and dynamics of antibiotic resistance in aquatic systems. There is methodological inconsistency across studies, making it challenging to compare findings. Potential biases include sample collection inconsistencies, detection sensitivity variances, and data interpretation variability. Gaps in understanding include the need for comprehensive, standardized long-term monitoring programs, elucidating the environmental fate and transformation of antibiotics and resistance genes. This review summarizes current knowledge on the occurrence and dissemination of emerging micropollutants, their ecological impacts, and the global health implications of antimicrobial resistance. It highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to address the challenges posed by antibiotic resistance in aquatic resistance in aquatic systems effectively. This review highlights widespread antibiotic and antibiotic resistance in aquatic environment, driven by human and agricultural activities. It underscores the ecological consequences, including disrupted microbial communities and altered ecosystem functions. The findings call for urgent measures to mitigate antibiotics pollution and manage antibiotic resistance spread in water bodies.

Hydrothermal N-doping, magnetization and ball milling co-functionalized sludge biochar design and its selective adsorption of trace concentration sulfamethoxazole from waters. CHEMOSPHERE 2024:142855. [PMID: 39019195 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to design an efficient and easily collected/regenerated adsorbent for trace concentration sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal to eliminate its negative impacts on human health, reduce the risk of adsorbed SMX release and boost the reusability of adsorbent. Various multiple modified sludge-derived biochars (SBC) were synthesized in this work and applied to adsorb trace level SMX. The results demonstrated that hydrothermal N-doping, magnetization coupled with ball milling co-functionalized SBC (BMNSBC) displayed the greater adsorption ability for SMX. The maximum adsorption capacity of BMNSBC for SMX calculated by Langmuir model was 1.02×105 μg/g, which was 12.9 times of SBC. Characterization combined with adsorption experiments (e.g., models fitting) and DFT calculation confirmed that π-π conjugation, Lewis acid-base, pore filling and Fe3O4 complexation were the primary forces driving SMX binding to BMNSBC. These diversified physicochemical forces contributed to the fine anti-interference of BMNSBC to background substances (e.g., inorganic compounds and organic matter) and its remarkable adsorption ability for SMX in diverse real waters. The great magnetization strength of BMNSBC was advantage for its collection and efficient regeneration by NaOH desorption. Additionally, BMNSBC exhibited a outstanding security in view of its low leaching levels of iron (Fe) and total nitrogen (TN). The multiple superiority of BMNSBC enable it to be a prospective material for emerging contaminants (e.g., SMX) purification, also offering a feasible disposal approach for municipal waste (e.g., sludge).

Abstract
The composite material SBC-Fe-x with sludge and Fe3+ was developed by different calcination temperatures (600, 700, and 800 °C) for the removal of tetracycline (TC). The adsorption rates of SBC-Fe-600, SBC-Fe-700, and SBC-Fe-800 were 77.5%, 89%, and 91%, respectively. Furthermore, the Langmuir model indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity of SBC-Fe-700 (157.93 mg/g) was three times greater than that of SBC-Fe-600. The conclusions were confirmed by a series of characterizations that SBC-Fe-700 showed a larger specific surface area, well-developed pore structure, rich oxygen-containing functional groups and a high degree of graphitization. The results of pH experiments indicated the broad applicability of SBC-Fe-700 for TC adsorption. In addition, SBC-Fe-700 suggested outstanding performance in different water environments. This work produced a feasible adsorbent for the removal of TC, and a new direction for sludge resource utilization was proposed.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130750. [PMID: 38467224 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
The study explores the use of hydrochar-derived activated carbon (AC) to improve the adsorption capacity and mechanical properties of carrageenan (CAR) hydrogel beads. Four distinct samples, with carrageenan to activated carbon ratios of 1:0 (CAR), 2:1 (CAC2), 4:1 (CAC4), and 10:1 (CAC10), were prepared. These polymeric beads underwent comprehensive evaluation for their methylene blue (MB) adsorption capacity, gel content (GC), and swelling ratio (SR). Increasing activated carbon content up to 50 % of carrageenan mass significantly enhanced GC and SR by 20.57 % and 429.24 %, respectively. Various analytical techniques were employed to characterize the composites, including FTIR, XRD, Raman Spectroscopy, BET, SEM, and EDS-Mapping. Batch adsorption tests investigated the effects of pH, contact time, dye concentration, and temperature on MB adsorption. Maximum adsorption capacities for CAR, CAC10, CAC4, and CAC2 were 475.48, 558.54, 635.93, and 552.35 mg/g, respectively, under optimal conditions. Kinetic models (Elovich and pseudo-second-order) and isotherm models (Temkin for CAR and Freundlich for CAC10, CAC4, and CAC2) fitted well with the experimental data. Thermodynamic analysis showed spontaneous, exothermic MB adsorption. Primary mechanisms include electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, n-π, and π-π stacking. The study highlights enhanced adsorption capacity of carrageenan hydrogel via carrageenan/activated carbon composites, providing cost-effective wastewater treatment.

Facile synthesis of ball-milling and oxalic acid co-modified sludge biochar to efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate for sulfamethoxazole degradation: 1O 2 and surface-bound radicals. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133026. [PMID: 38006858 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
A novel approach of ball milling and oxalic acid was employed to modify sludge-based biochar (BOSBC) to boost its activation performance for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) towards efficient degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). 98.6% of SMX was eliminated by PMS/BOSBC system within 60 min. Furthermore, PMS/BOSBC system was capable of maintaining high removal rates for SMX (>88.8%) in a wide pH range from 3 to 9, and displayed a high tolerance to background electrolytes including inorganic ions and humic acid (HA). Quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, in-situ Raman characterization and PMS decomposition experiments confirmed that the non-radicals of 1O2 and surface-bound radicals were the main contributors to SMX degradation by PMS/BOSBC system. The results of ecotoxicity assessment illustrated that all transformed products (TPs) generated in PMS/BOSBC system were less toxic than that of SMX. After five reuse cycles, PMS/BOSBC system still maintained a high removal rate for SMX (77.8%). Additionally, PMS/BOSBC system exhibited excellent degradation performance for SMX in various real waters (Yangtze River water (76.5%), lake water (74.1%), tap water (86.5%), and drinking water (98.1%)). Overall, this study provided novel insights on non-metal modification for sludge-based biochar and non-radical mechanism, and offered a feasible approach for municipal sludge disposal.

Abstract
In the quest for eco-conscious innovations, this research was designed for the sustainable synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, using ferric chloride hexahydrate salt as a precursor and extract of Eucalyptus globulus leaves as both a reducing and capping agent, which are innovatively applied as a photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics "ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin". Sugar cane bagasse biomass, sugar cane bagasse pyrolyzed biochar, and magnetite/sugar cane bagasse biochar nanocomposite were also synthesized via environmentally friendly organized approaches. The optimum conditions for the degradation of ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin were found to be pH 6 for ciprofloxacin and 5 for amoxicillin, dosage of the photocatalyst (0.12 g), concentration (100 mg/L), and irradiation time (240 min). The maximum efficiencies of percentage degradation for ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin were found to be (73.51%) > (63.73%) > (54.57%) and (74.07%) > (61.55%) > (50.66%) for magnetic nanocomposites, biochar, and magnetic nanoparticles, respectively. All catalysts demonstrated favorable performance; however, the "magnetite/SCB biochar" nanocomposite exhibited the most promising results among the various catalysts employed in the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics. Kinetic studies for the degradation of antibiotics were also performed, and notably, the pseudo-first-order chemical reaction showed the best results for the degradation of antibiotics. Through a comprehensive and comparative analysis of three unique photocatalysts, this research identified optimal conditions for efficient treatment of drug-contaminated wastewater, thus amplifying the practical significance of the findings. The recycling of magnetic nanoparticles through magnetic separation, coupled with their functional modification for integration into composite materials, holds significant application potential in the degradation of antibiotics.

Abstract
Rapid and efficient removal of environmental antibiotics is vital to curb bacterial resistance. Through rational precursors-oriented design, we attain the best Al2O3 absorbent by 500 °C calcination of ammonium aluminium carbonate hydroxide (AACH) precursor from NH4HCO3 route (AACH-NH4HCO3-500) for fast and efficient removal of tetracycline (TC) and other antibiotics from environmental waters including high-salinity wastewater. AACH-NH4HCO3-500 (0.25 g·L-1) can remove (69.92 ± 1.78)% of aqueous TC (0.025 g·L-1) within 5 min and (97.62 ± 2.75)% within 2 h, and the adsorption capacity is 444.4 mg·g-1, which is the highest qmax of TC for the 2 h-adsorptions among numerous adsorbents. AACH-NH4HCO3-500 has fine tolerance to the coexisting substances, and can be easily regenerated and reused, and has no harm even discarded. The relations among the synthetic methods, the structural features, and the adsorption functions of Al2O3 are disclosed through a systematic comparison of the commercial Al2O3 and different Al2O3 nanomaterials attained from three precursors produced by five different routes. The reasons behind the exceptional adsorption performance are discussed throughout. Our findings would facilitate the development of excellent adsorbents for removal of other pollutants.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on peracetic acid (PAA) has been extensively concerned for the degradation of organic pollutants. In this study, metallic iron-modified sludge biochar (Fe-SBC) was employed to activate PAA for the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The characterization results indicated that FeO and Fe2O3 were successfully loaded on the surface of the sludge biochar (SBC). Fe-SBC/PAA system achieved 92% SMX removal after 30 min. The pseudo-first-order kinetic reaction constant of the Fe-SBC/PAA system was 7.34 × 10-2 min-1, which was 2.4 times higher than the SBC/PAA system. The degradation of SMX was enhanced with increasing the Fe-SBC dosage and PAA concentration. Apart from Cl-, NO3- and SO42- had a negligible influence on the degradation of SMX. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques identified the existence of reactive species, of which CH3C(O)OO•, 1O2, and O2•- were dominant reactive species in Fe-SBC/PAA system. The effect of different water matrices on the removal of SMX was investigated. The removal of SMX in tap water and lake water were 79% and 69%, respectively. Four possible pathways for the decay of SMX were presented according to the identification of oxidation products. In addition, following the ecological structure-activity relationship model (ECOSAR) procedure and the germination experiments with lettuce seeds to predict the toxicity of the intermediates. The acute and chronic ecotoxicity of SMX solution was dramatically diminished by processing with Fe-SBC/PAA system. In general, this study offered a prospective strategy for the degradation of organic pollutants.

[PMID: 36867900 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117566] [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: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
A new N-doped biochar derived from sugarcane bagasse (NSB) was prepared by one-pot pyrolysis with sugarcane bagasse as feedstock, melamine as nitrogen source and NaHCO3 as pore-forming agent, and then NSB was used to adsorb ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water. The optimal preparation conditions of NSB were determined based on the evaluation index of adsorbability of NSB for CIP. SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, XPS and BET characterizations were used to analyze the physicochemical properties of the synthetic NSB. It was found that the prepared NSB had excellent pore structure, high specific surface area and more nitrogenous functional groups. Meanwhile, it was demonstrated that the synergistic interaction between melamine and NaHCO3 increased the pores of NSB and the largest surface area of NSB was 1712.19 m2/g. The CIP adsorption capacity of 212 mg/g was obtained under optimal parameters as follows: NSB amount 0.125 g/L, initial pH 6.58, adsorption temperature 30 °C, CIP initial concentration 30 mg/L and adsorption time 1 h. The isotherm and kinetics studies elucidated that the adsorption of CIP conformed both D-R model and Pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The high CIP adsorption capacity of NSB for CIP was due to the combined filling pore, π-π conjugation and hydrogen bonding. All results demonstrated that adsorption of CIP by the low-cost N-doped biochar of NSB is a reliable technology for the disposal of CIP wastewater.

Abstract
Suaeda biochar (SBC) was prepared by muffle furnace with Suaeda salsa at 600, 700, 800, and 900 ℃. The physical and chemical properties of biochar at different pyrolysis temperatures and the adsorption mechanism of sulfanilamide (SM) were studied by SEM-EDS, BET, FTIR, XRD, and XPS analysis. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were fitted. The results showed that the kinetics was in line with the quasi-second-order adsorption model and belonged to chemisorption. The adsorption isotherm conformed to Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and belonged to monolayer adsorption. The adsorption of SM on SBC was spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption mechanism may be pore filling, hydrogen bonding, and π-π electron donor acceptor (EDA) interaction.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) and sugarcane bagasse had both exerted enormous strain on environmental security. In this work, new composite adsorbent designed by impregnating bio-waste bagasse with magnesium-aluminum layered double oxides (BC-MA) was innovatively brought forward for TC removal. Benefiting from the abundant adsorption sites supplied by developed pores structure (0.308 cm3·g-1), enlarged surface area (256.8 m2·g-1) and reinforced functional groups, the maximum adsorption amount of BC-MA for TC reached 250.6 mg g-1. Moreover, BC-MA displayed desirable adsorption capacity in diverse water environments coupled with excellent sustainable regeneration ability. The absorption process of TC by BC-MA was spontaneous and endothermic, and the pivotal rate-limiting stage pertained to intraparticle diffusion. The mechanisms proposed here mainly concerned π-π interactions, pore filling, complexation and hydrogen bonding. These findings suggested that the synthesis of modified biochar from bagasse would offer new opportunities for simultaneous waste resource reuse and water pollution control.

Abstract
In recent years, the unnecessary overuse of antibiotics has increased globally, resulting in antibiotic contamination of water, which has become a significant environmental concern. This study aims to examine the adsorption behavior of antibiotics (Tetracycline TC, Ciprofloxacin CIP, Ibuprofen IBP, and Sulfamethoxazole SMX) onto H3PO4-activated sunflower seed husk biochar (PSF). The results demonstrated that H3PO4 could enhance the specific surface area (378.8 m2/g) and create a mesoporous structure of biochar. The adsorption mechanism was investigated using kinetic models, isotherms, and thermodynamics. The maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) of TC, CIP, SMX, and IBP are 429.3, 361.6, 251.3, and 251.1 mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption mechanism of antibiotics on PSF was governed by complex mechanisms, including chemisorption, external diffusion, and intraparticle diffusion. This research provides an environmentally friendly method for utilizing one of the agricultural wastes for the removal of a variety of antibiotics from the aquatic environment.

Abstract
First time, this study synthesized a magnetic-modified sludge biochar (MSBC) as an activator of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to eliminate sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The removal efficiency of SMX reached 96.1% at t = 60 min by PMS/MSBC system. The larger surface area and magnetic Fe3O4 of MSBC surface enhanced its activation performance for PMS. The PMS decomposition, premixing and reactive oxygen species (ROS) identification experiments combined with Raman spectra analysis demonstrated that the degradation process was dominated by surface-bound radicals. The transformed products (TPs) of SMX and the main degradation pathways were identified and proposed. The ecotoxicity of all TPs was lower than that of SMX. The magnetic performance was beneficial for its reuse and the removal efficiency of SMX was 83.3% even after five reuse cycles. Solution pH, HCO3- and CO32- were the critical environmental factors affecting the degradation process. MSBC exhibited environmental safety for its low heavy metal leaching. PMS/MSBC system also performed excellent removal performance for SMX in real waters including drinking water (88.1%), lake water (84.3%), Yangtze River water (83.0%) and sewage effluent (70.2%). This study developed an efficient PMS activator for SMX degradation in various waters and provided a workable way to reuse and recycle municipal sludge.

Abstract
The clusters formed by modified materials on its surface makes the application of functionalized biochars in adsorption face a great challenge. Here, a facile ball milling technology was innovatively proposed to tailor Fe-Al oxides-laden bagasse biochar to fabricate a novel adsorbent (BMFA-BC). Benefited from the increased exposure of Fe-Al oxides and, more importantly, enhanced functional groups by ball milling, the adsorption capacity of BMFA-BC for aqueous tetracycline reached up to 116.6 mg g-1 at 298 K. And the adsorption performance was temperature-dependent. Characterization analysis, batch sorption (thermodynamics, kinetics, isotherms, chemical factors) as well as data modeling illustrated that this superior adsorption ability could be attributed to π-π conjugation, H-bonding, complexation as well as pore filling. BMFA-BC displayed good adsorption capacity in multiple aqueous environments. The excellent regeneration ability, magnetic susceptibility ensured its viability for sustainable pollutants removal. These superiorities revealed that BMFA-BC was a suitable sorbent for antibiotics elimination.

Abstract
Mesoporous carbon material (MCM) with rich ether surface group was prepared from sewage sludge hydrochar using Pluronic F127 as template under pyrolysis activation, which provided an energy-efficient method to promote the resource utilization of sewage sludge as adsorbents for phenols removal from water. The MCM possessed high surface area (549 m2/g), abundant mesopores (average width 3.81 nm) and well-developed graphite structure. Acidic conditions and low temperatures favored the adsorption of phenolic compounds. The quick adsorption process of reaching over 85% of the capacity in the first 10 min and intraparticle diffusion as primary rate-limiting step were observed for all phenolic compounds. Advanced statistical physics analysis was used successfully to interpret the adsorption mechanism of phenols onto MCM and revealed a multi-molecular monolayer adsorption process primarily through negative charge-assisted hydrogen bond interaction where the ether functional group contributed to the predominant active sites. The adsorption capacity of phenolic compounds depended upon the number of molecules adsorbed per ether active site and the available density of ether bond group on the surface of MCM. 2,4,6-trichlorophenol showed a highest adsorption priority to occupy the limited ether active sites and its adsorption capacity reached 0.49 mmol/g, while p-nitrophenol exhibited a maximum number of molecules adsorbed on the single ether active site, showing an adsorption capacity of 0.42 mmol/g. The synergistic effect of multi-interactions mechanisms resulted in phenolic compounds removal with adsorption energies lower than 30 kJ/mol. This prepared MCM adsorbent is promising for application in treatment of water polluted by phenols.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM), which exists widely in the environment, coming from different sources, may greatly affect the adsorption of antibiotics. However, the adsorption mechanisms of antibiotics in a sandy soil and the effects of DOM from different sources on the adsorption remain poorly understood. This study systematically investigated the adsorption characteristics of norfloxacin (NOR) onto a sandy soil obtained from the banks of Xi'an in Yellow River and in the presence of three DOM including HDOM (commercially available humic acids), LDOM (derived from fallen leaves) and MDOM (derived from cattle manure). Elemental analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, 3D-EEM, XPS, TOC, SEM, and FTIR were used to analyze the adsorption mechanism. It was found that all the DOM sources we used could reduce the adsorption of NOR on sandy soil and prolong the reaction time to reach adsorption equilibrium. The decreasing adsorption capacities of NOR by the three types of DOM (10 mg/L) followed the order as: HDOM < LDOM < MDOM, which was related to their aromaticity, polarity and hydrophobicity. These adsorption processes of NOR on sandy soil in the presence of DOM were well fitted by Double-chamber first-order kinetics, Linear model and Freundlich models. Besides, the adsorption reaction was endothermic and spontaneous. Adsorption competition of DOM molecules with NOR, or formation of DOM-NOR complexes in solution resulted in a decrease of sandy soil adsorption capacity. Correspondingly, co-adsorption and cumulative adsorption were also considered to be the key processes that determined NOR adsorption towards sandy soil after adding DOM. Moreover, the adsorption of NOR onto sandy soil exhibited strong pH-dependent characteristic and NOR might be more easily leached from sandy soil in the aquifer at an alkaline pH. High-ion strength suppressed the adsorption. These results would help to understand the fate and risk of NOR under the action of different DOM.

Abstract
In this study, magnetic biochar (MAB) and humic acid (HA)-coated magnetic biochar produced from apple branches without and after cellulase hydrolysis (HMAB and CHMAB, respectively) were prepared and tested as adsorbents of enrofloxacin (ENR) and moxifloxacin (MFX) in aqueous solution. Compared with MAB and HMAB, novel adsorbent CHMAB possessed a superior mesoporous structure, greater graphitization degree and abundant functional groups. When antibiotic solutions ranged from 2 to 20 mg L-1, the theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of CHMAB for ENR and MFX were 48.3 and 61.5 mg g-1 at 35 °C with adsorbent dosage of 0.4 g L-1, respectively, while those of MAB and HMAB were 39.6 and 54.4 mg g-1, and 44.7 and 59.0 mg g-1, respectively. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model presented a better fitting to the spontaneous and endothermic adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of ENR and MFX onto CHMAB was achieved at initial pH values of 5 and 8, respectively. Additionally, the adsorption capacity of ENR and MFX decreased with increasing concentrations of K+ and Ca2+ (0.02-0.1 mol L-1). Synergism between the pore-filling effect, π-π electron-donor-acceptor interactions, regular and negative charge-assisted H-bonding, surface complexation, electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions may dominate the adsorption process. This study demonstrated that a novel magnetic biochar composite prepared through pyrolysis of agricultural waste lignocellulose hydrolyzed by cellulase in combination with HA coating was a promising adsorbent for eliminating quinolone antibiotics from aqueous media.

In this study, Fe-Co-modified biochar (FMBC) loaded with iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co) bimetals after NaOH activation was prepared by pyrolysis using forestry waste cedar bark as a raw material to study its properties and the adsorption of ofloxacin (OFX). The surface structure and chemical properties were analyzed by BET, SEM-EDS, XRD, XPS, and FTIR characterization, and the results showed that the FMBC possessed a larger specific surface area and abundant surface functional groups. FMBC conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, indicating that the OFX adsorption process on FMBC was a monolayer adsorption process and controlled by chemisorption. The saturation adsorption capacity of FMBC was 10 times higher than that of cedar bark biochar (BC). In addition, the effects of initial pH and coexisting ions on the adsorption process were investigated, and FMBC showed good adsorption, with the best adsorption capacity at pH = 7. Multiple adsorption mechanisms, including physical and chemical interactions, were involved in the adsorption of OFX by FMBC. TG, metal leaching, different water sources, and VSM tests showed that FMBC had good stability and was easily separated from water. Finally, the reusability performance of FMBC was investigated by various methods, and after five cycles it could still reach 75.78-89.31% of the adsorption capacity before recycling. Therefore, the FMBC synthesized in this study is a promising new adsorbent.

Abstract
The preparation cost is one of the major constraints for adsorbent applied to practical situations. Here, a novel, economical and eco-friendly ilmenite biochar composite (ILM-BC) was successfully prepared by co-cracking of natural ilmenite and corn stover for the removal ofloxacin from water. The adsorption experiments indicated that the removal ofloxacin by ILM-BC was chemisorption and belonged to a spontaneous and entropy-increasing heat absorption process. Among composites, ILM-BC5 had superior adsorption capacity and stability, with a removal rate 1.6 times higher than that of biochar, and it could remove more than 90% ofloxacin in the pH range of 2-10. Multiple characterization results indicated that the adsorption of ILM-BC was the result of the synergistic effect of pore filling, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. The introduction of ilmenite promoted hydrogen bonding formation and π-π interactions by enriching -OH and -COO on the surface of ILM-BC, which could enhance the adsorption capacity of ILM-BC.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 837:155662. [PMID: 35525355 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.155662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The treatment of antibiotic wastewater pollution is imminent, the studies of double-network hydrogels as adsorbents have gradually increased, it is quite important to develop a non-toxic hydrogel with excellent properties as adsorbent. In this study, a graphene oxide modified κ-carrageenan/sodium alginate (GO-κ-car/SA) gel was prepared by calcium hardening. The addition of GO nanosheets enhances the mechanical strength and anti-swelling property of the double-network hydrogel, making it possible for the application in the fixed-bed column system. The elastic modulus is twice as much as the hydrogel without GO. The maximum adsorption capacity in the experiments of the GO-κ-car/SA gel for CIP and OFL can reach 272.18 mg g-1 and 197.39 mg g-1, respectively. The GO-κ-car/SA gel always remains negatively charged, which means that the adsorption capacity of the gel is better in an acidic environment. In the fixed-bed column system, through Thomas fitting, the maximum adsorption capacity of the simulated OFL wastewater (200 mg L-1) is 83.99 mg g-1. The adsorption mechanism of antibiotics by GO-κ-car/SA gel depends on hydrogen bond, functional groups and electrostatic adsorption. The good hydrophilic properties, excellent adsorption capacity and high mechanical strength, which can ensure that the adsorbent is in full contact with the contaminants without major deformation or damage, makes the study more helpful for the further study on hydrogel in the fixed-bed column system.

Abstract
Contamination of water by ciprofloxacin has become a significant concern due to its adverse health effects and growing evidence of antimicrobial-resistant gene evolution. To this end, a chemically modified bamboo biochar was prepared from bamboo sawdust to effectively remove ciprofloxacin (CIP) from an aqueous solution. Under similar adsorption conditions, the modified bamboo biochar (MBC) has an excellent CIP removal efficiency (96%) compared to unmodified bamboo biochar (UBC) efficiency (45%). Thus, MBC was used in batch adsorption experiments, and the process was optimized with the central composite design (CCD) framework of response surface methodology (RSM). Sorption process parameters such as initial CIP concentration, pH, adsorbent dose, and contact time were studied and found to have a significant effect on CIP removal. The optimal CIP removal (96%) was obtained at MBC dose (0.5 g L-1), CIP initial concentration (20 mg L-1), pH (7.5), and contact time (46 min). The adsorption kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model (
), and both Langmuir (
) and Freundlich (
) models gave the best fit in CIP adsorption isotherm analysis. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of the MBC was 78.43 mg g-1 based on the Langmuir isotherm model. These results suggest that CIP adsorption was mainly controlled by chemisorption. Moreover, the CIP adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Overall, MBC is a low-cost, efficient, and recyclable adsorbent for eliminating emerging contaminants such as ciprofloxacin from an aqueous solution.
