Understanding flow patterns from the field - Controlled laboratory experiments on the transport behavior of veterinary antibiotics in the presence of liquid manure. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 821:153415. [PMID: 35090912 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The main entry path of veterinary antibiotics to the environment is the application of liquid manure on agricultural land. Along with the manure, they can infiltrate into soils and leach into groundwater. As the environmental behavior of veterinary antibiotics is strongly affected by the process of sorption, the comprehensive knowledge regarding their sorption behavior is key to a reliable risk assessment. However, the flow patterns in field experiments are influenced by several factors that can hardly be distinguished, while most of the sorption studies on veterinary antibiotics were designed without manure or as batch experiments, which means that the effects of manure on the transport behavior of the antibiotic substances remained unaccounted for. In order to understand the results from a previous field experiment and concurrently fill the identified knowledge gap, a column experiment was performed to investigate the effects of manure on the transport of sulfamethazine, sulfadiazine, tetracycline, and lincomycin in soil. Results show that sulfamethazine and sulfadiazine were highly mobile in both the presence and absence of manure, while tetracycline did not appear at the outlet of any column. Despite their high mobility, in the presence of manure the sulfonamides were slightly delayed compared to the conservative tracer as was also seen during the previous field experiment. Lincomycin transport was already delayed in the absence of manure. Furthermore, in the presence of manure, lincomycin was delayed by 4.5 times relative to the tracer, which clearly underlined the influence of manure on the transport of lincomycin and offers an explanation why lincomycin has barely been detected in the long-term field experiment. However, in contrast to the results obtained in the field experiment, the recovery rates were the same in presence and absence of manure for both sulfonamides and lincomycin, probably due to reduced degradation at the applied concentration level.

Abstract
Sorption of pharmaceuticals, which can occur in soils, may differ when present in a soil solution as a single compound or in a solution with other pharmaceuticals. Therefore, the sorption isotherms described by the Freundlich equations were evaluated for 6 compounds, which were applied in solutions of a single pharmaceutical, two pharmaceuticals or all pharmaceuticals to seven soils. Study mainly focused on a behavior of fexofenadine and irbesartan that occurred in soils in 3 forms (cationic, zwitter-ionic or neutral, anionic). Sorption of both compounds slightly increased (in some soils) when applied together, largely increased when applied with carbamazepine (neutral), and extremely increased when applied in solutions with citalopram (strongly sorbed cation), which could be explained by a cooperative multilayer sorption on soil constituents. On the other hand, sorption of both compounds moderately decreased when applied with clindamycin (cation and neutral) or sulfamethoxazole (neutral or anion). The magnitude of an increase or decrease in the Freundlich sorption coefficient (KF) for a particular compound depended on soil conditions, a form of compound's molecule and its interaction with molecules of other compounds. Despite sorption being influenced by other compound(s) in solution, the KF coefficients evaluated for a particular compound under the different conditions were mostly correlated with the same soil properties: KF,CAR with an organic carbon content, KF,CIT and KF,CLI with a base cation saturation, KF,SUL with hydrolytic acidity, and KF,FEX and KF,IRB with sorption complex saturation.

Abstract
The purpose of this long-term experiment was on gaining more insights into the environmental behaviour of veterinary antibiotics in the subsurface after application with manure. Therefore, manure spiked with a bromide tracer and eight antibiotics (enrofloxacin, lincomycin, sulfadiazine, sulfamethazine, tetracycline, tiamulin, tilmicosin and tylosin) in concentrations of milligrams per litre were applied at an experimental field site. Their pathway was tracked by continuous extraction of soil pore water at different depths and systematic sampling of groundwater for a period of two years. Seven target compounds were detected in soil pore water of which four leached into groundwater. Concentrations of the detected target compounds were, with few exceptions, in the range of nanograms per litre. It was concluded that a large fraction of the investigated antibiotics sorbed or degraded already within the first meter of the soil. Further, it was inferred from the data that long and warm dry periods cause attenuation of the target compounds through increased degradation or sorption occurring in the soil. In addition, the comprehensive data-set allowed to estimate a retardation factor between 1.1 and 2.0 for sulfamethazine in a Plaggic Anthrosol soil, and to classify the individual compounds by environmental relevance based on transport behaviour and persistence. According to the distribution of resistant genes in the environment, sulfamethazine was found to be the most mobile and persistent substance.

Surface-Bound Humic Acid Increased Propranolol Sorption on Fe 3O 4/Attapulgite Magnetic Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10020205.

Abstract
This study explored the feasibility of utilizing a novel sorbent humic acid (HA) coated Fe3O4/attapulgite (MATP) magnetic nanoparticles (HMATP) for the sorption of propranolol from aqueous solutions. MATP and bare Fe3O4 nanoparticles were also synthesized under similar preparation conditions. The FTIR, Zeta potential, XRD, VSM, TEM, and TGA analyses were conducted to characterize the sorbent materials. The effects of pH, sorbent dosage, ionic strength, HA in the aqueous solution, contact time and initial sorbate concentration on sorption of propranolol were investigated using batch sorption experiments. The results suggested that the sorption capacity of HMATP showed little change from pH 4 to 10. Na+ and Ca2+ slightly inhibited the sorption of propranolol on HMATP. While HA in solution enhanced both MATP and HMATP, which indicated that HMATP can resist HA interference in water. Further, the less leaching amounts of Fe and HA suggested a good stability of HMATP. In all conditions, sorption capacity of propranolol on HMATP was obviously higher than that on MATP, which indicated that surface-coated HA played an important role in the propranolol sorption process. Electrostatic interaction, cation exchange, hydrogen bonding, and π–π electron donor acceptor interactions were considered as the sorption mechanisms.

Abstract
Knowledge on the sorption behavior of cationic organic substances in aquatic systems is vital for their risk assessment due to the increasing detection of such chemicals in the hydrosphere. Their sorption behavior is strongly influenced by sorption processes onto mineral surfaces (e.g., oxides, clays). To contribute to the development of prediction tools, the impact of sorbent characteristics on the sorption strength was studied in a highly-idealized model system. In addition to the properties of the solid phase, the concentration of other ions in direct competition for sorption sites and the molecular structure of the sorbate were changed to separate ion exchange and non-ion exchange processes. The study includes in total 120 systematic column experiments using five extensively characterized synthetic oxides (three silica gels, two aluminum oxides), three probe molecules (two structurally related cationic substances, one neutral compound), and four distinctively different NaCl concentrations. The results show that the concentration of OH groups on the sorbent surface is a meaningful descriptor for the observed variations in sorption capacity onto different oxides. Compound-specific linear correlations were obtained, enabling the prediction of sorption coefficients. In addition, a more complex sorption behavior of organic cations compared to uncharged molecules were observed as demonstrated by the sorption results at different electrolyte concentrations. Thus, the study provides an important step towards a better principal mechanistic understanding of organic cation sorption. However, further work using other sorbents including natural ones and other probe molecules is needed to verify the identified relationships within the scope of developing reliable prediction models for cation sorption.

Abstract
Effects of alkyl chain length of ionic liquid (IL), soil components and solution inorganic cations on a selected IL (1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium chloride, [OMIM]Cl) interaction with Chinese soils were investigated using batch sorption experiments. The results indicated that sorption energy was mainly controlled by chain length of [OMIM]Cl and contents of soil organic matter (SOM). [OMIM]Cl sorption on soils was mainly controlled by cation exchange process. Contributions of SOM and clay minerals (CMs) to [OMIM]Cl sorption were 7.3%-53.8% and 46.2%-92.7%, respectively. SOM possessed higher energy cation-exchange binding sites than CMs. To predict the sorption of [OMIM]Cl on soils, a model for the relationship between sorption coefficient (Kd) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) from soil components (SOM and CMs, i.e., CECSOM and CECCMs) as well as solution concentration (Ce) was established: LogKd = Log(1.67*CECSOM + 3.22*CECCMs) - 0.58LogCe. This model could provide a good prediction for sorption coefficients and the prediction errors were within 0.48 log unit. Competitive effects caused by inorganic cations followed the order of Ca2+ = Mg2+ > K+ > Na+. Concentrations and valence of coexisting ions both affect their competitive capability on [OMIM]Cl sorption. The finding of this study provided valuable information for evaluating the fate of [OMIM]Cl in soils.

Abstract
The pristine points of zero charge (PZC) and isoelectric points (IEP) of metal oxides and IEP of other materials from the recent literature, and a few older results (overlooked in previous searches) are summarized. This study is an update of the previous compilations by the same author [Surface Charging and Points of Zero Charge, CRC, Boca Raton, 2009; J. Colloid Interface Sci. 337 (2009) 439; 353 (2011) 1; 426 (2014) 209]. The field has been very active, but most PZC and IEP are reported for materials, which are very well-documented already (silica, alumina, titania, iron oxides). IEP of (nominally) Gd2O3, NaTaO3, and SrTiO3 have been reported in the recent literature. Their IEP were not reported in older studies.

Abstract
With the increasing number of emerging contaminants that are cationic at environmentally relevant pH values, there is a need for robust predictive models of organic cation sorption coefficients (Kd). Current predictive models fail to account for the differences in the identity, abundance, and affinity of surface-associated inorganic exchange ions naturally present at negatively charged receptor sites on environmental solids. To better understand how organic cation sorption is influenced by surface-associated inorganic exchange ions, sorption coefficients of 10 organic cations (including eight pharmaceuticals and two simple probe organic amines) were determined for six homoionic forms of the aluminosilicate mineral, montmorillonite. Organic cation sorption coefficients exhibited consistent trends for all compounds across the various homoionic clays with sorption coefficients (Kd) decreasing as follows: KdNa+ > KdNH4+ ≥ KdK+ > KdCa2+ ≥ KdMg2+ > KdAl3+. This trend for competition between organic cations and exchangeable inorganic cations is consistent with the inorganic cation selectivity sequence, determined for exchange between inorganic ions. Such consistent trends in competition between organic and inorganic cations suggested that a simple probe cation, such as phenyltrimethylammonium or benzylamine, could capture soil-to-soil variations in native inorganic cation identity and abundance for the prediction of organic cation sorption to soils and soil minerals. Indeed, sorption of two pharmaceutical compounds to 30 soils was better described by phenyltrimethylammonium sorption than by measures of benzylamine sorption, effective cation exchange capacity alone, or a model from the literature (Droge, S., and Goss, K. Environ. Sci. Technol. 2013, 47, 14224). A hybrid approach integrating structural scaling factors derived from this literature model of organic cation sorption, along with phenyltrimethylammonium Kd values, allowed for estimation of Kd values for more structurally complex organic cations to homoionic montmorillonites and to heteroionic soils (mean absolute error of 0.27 log unit). Accordingly, we concluded that the use of phenyltrimethylammonium as a probe compound was a promising means to account for the identity, affinity, and abundance of natural exchange ions in the prediction of organic cation sorption coefficients for environmental solids.
