Zirconium and cerium dioxide fabricated activated carbon-based nanocomposites for enhanced adsorption and photocatalytic removal of methylene blue and tetracycline hydrochloride. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 261:119720. [PMID: 39096986 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119720] [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: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024]
Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) is a porous, amorphous form of carbon known for its strong adsorption capacity, making it highly effective for use in wastewater treatment. In this investigation, AC-based nanocomposites (NCs) loaded with zirconium dioxide and cerium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO2/CeO2 NPs) were successfully synthesized for the effective elimination of methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The AC-ZrO2/CeO2 NCs have a size of 231.83 nm, a zeta potential of -20.07 mV, and a PDI value of 0.160. The adsorption capacities of AC-ZrO2/CeO2 NCs for MB and TCH were proved in agreement with the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo 1st order kinetic model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined to be 75.54 mg/g for MB and 26.75 mg/g for TCH. Notably, AC-ZrO2/CeO2 NCs exhibited superior photocatalytic degradation efficiency for MB and TCH under sunlight irradiation with removal efficiencies reaching up to 97.91% and 82.40% within 90 min, respectively. The t1/2 for the photo-degradation process of MB and TCH were 11.55 min and 44.37 min. Analysis of active species trapping confirmed the involvement of hole (h+), superoxide anion (•O2-), and hydroxyl radical (•OH) in the degradation mechanism. Furthermore, the residual solution post-contaminant removal exhibited minimal toxicity towards Artemia salina and NIH3T3 cells. Importantly, the NCs did not exhibit antibacterial activity against tested pathogens post-absorption/degradation of TCH. Thus, AC-ZrO2/CeO2 NCs could be a promising nanomaterial for wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) stood out as an efficient alternative for the treatment of organic contaminants. In this work, there were proposed syntheses of mixed catalysts of pyrite and graphene oxide and pyrite and zinc oxide to treat a mixture of the drugs atenolol and propranolol in aqueous solution through the photo-Fenton process with ultraviolet radiation. The efficiency of the methodologies used in the syntheses was confirmed through different characterization analyses. It was verified that the pyrite and zinc oxide catalyst led to the best contaminant degradation percentages with values equal to 88 and 84% for the groups monitored at the wavelengths (λ) of 217 and 281 nm. The degradation kinetics presented a good fit to the kinetic model proposed by Chan and Chu (2003) with R2 equal to 0.99, indicating a pseudo-first-order degradation profile. Finally, toxicity tests were carried out with two types of seeds, watercress and cabbage, for the solution before and after treatment. The cabbage seeds showed a reduction in germination percentages for the samples after treatments, while no toxicity was observed for watercress ones. This highlights the importance of evaluating the implications caused by products in relation to different organisms representing the biota.

Understanding the variations in degradation pathways and generated by-products of antibiotics in modified TiO 2 and ZnO photodegradation systems: A comprehensive review. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 370:122402.

Abstract
This review examines various modification techniques, including metal doping, non-metal doping, multi doping, mixed doping, and the construction of heterojunction photocatalysts, for enhancing the performance of pure TiO2 and ZnO in the photodegradation of antibiotics. The study finds that mixed and multi doping approaches are more effective in improving photodegradation performance compared to single doping. Furthermore, the selection of suitable semiconductors for constructing heterojunction photocatalysts is crucial for achieving an efficient charge carrier separation. The environmental impacts, recent research, and real application of photocatalysis process have been discussed. The review also investigates the impact of operating parameters on the degradation pathways and the generation of by-products for different antibiotics. Additionally, the toxicity of the by-products resulting from the photodegradation of antibiotics using modified ZnO and TiO2 photocatalysts is explored, revealing that these by-products may exhibit higher toxicity than the original antibiotics. Consequently, to enable the widespread implementation of photodegradation systems, researchers should focus on optimizing degradation systems to control the conversion pathways of by-products, developing innovative photoreactors, and evaluating toxicity in real wastewater matrices.

Abstract
In the current investigation, MnFe2O4/ZIF-8 nanocomposite was generated as a magnetic nanoadsorber using the extract of Dracocephalum plant and characterized by XRD, FTIR, VSM, BET, FESEM, EDS-mapping, TEM, XPS, TPD-NH3, and TGA analyses. Also, to determine its efficiency in the adsorption process of tetracycline, the effect of pH (3-9), nanocomposite dose (0.025-2 g/L), initial pollutant concentration (5-100 mg/L), contact time (5-200 min), and temperature (5-50 °C) were studied. The results of the morphological properties of the magnetic nanocomposite confirmed the spherical shape of this nanoadsorber with an average size of 54 ± 31 nm. BET analysis showed that modification of MnFe2O4 material with ZIF-8 as a new nanoadsorber leads to excellent modification of SBET (143.8 m2/g) and VTotal (0.44 cm3/g). The highest removal efficiency of tetracycline in optimal conditions (pH = 7, contact time = 120 min, nanocomposite dose = 1.5 g/L, and temperature = 20 °C for a tetracycline concentration of 20 mg/L) was 90.11%. As the temperature increased, the removal efficiency increased from 40.46% to 95.06% during 120 min, which indicates that the adsorption reaction is endothermic. In addition, the data obtained from the isotherms of Langmuir (R2 = 0.958), Freundlich (R2 = 0.534), and Temkin (R2 = 0.747) showed that the tetracycline adsorption is monolayer and on the homogeneous surface of the synthesized magnetic nanoadsorber. The elimination process of tetracycline by nanoadsorber followed the pseudo-second order model (R2 = 0.998). Investigating the effect of interfering ions also confirmed the decrease in the adsorption efficiency. Also, the investigation of the reusability of the synthesized magnetic nanoadsorber in tetracycline adsorption indicates that after eight cycles, the efficiency decreases by %16.51. According to the results, the magnetic nanocomposite synthesized in this work can be a suitable and economical adsorber for the removal of tetracycline from aqueous environments.

Abstract
In this study, metal-free PO43- enriched g-C3N4/g-C3N4 (PGCN) homojunction alginate 3D beads were developed for in-situ H2O2 production under visible light. Later, the photocatalytic-self-Fenton system was integrated with peroxymonosulfate for tetracycline degradation. Initially, the PO43- enriched g-C3N4 (PCN) and a homojunction composed of PCN and g-C3N4 (GCN) were prepared via the wet-impregnation method. Later, PGCN homojunction was formulated into 3D alginate beads through the blend-crosslinking method. The comprehensive characterization of the homojunction beads affirmed the closer contact between the semiconductors, alteration of the bandgap, faster channelization of electron-hole pairs, and improved separation of charge carriers that attributed to higher catalytic efficacy. The PGCN beads exhibited a maximum H2O2 production of 535 ± 12 µM under visible light irradiation for 60 min. The homojunction hydrogels displayed 99 ± 0.25 % tetracycline degradation in 20 min in the photocatalytic-self-Fenton-PMS system. The experimental studies also claimed a maximum chemical oxygen demand removal of 81 ± 3.6 % in 20 min with maximum reusability of beads up to 20 cycles. The Z-scheme electron migration mechanism is proposed based on the results aided by scavenger and electron spin resonance analysis. Overall, the as-synthesized alginate-supported homojunction-based photocatalytic-self-Fenton-peroxymonosulfate system is highly versatile and reusable for energy and environmental remediation.

Abstract
The peel of Hylocereus undatus was employed in the preparation of biochar and firstly applied for tetracycline removal from aqueous solution. Based on different characterization techniques, the material was found to possess a variety of surface functional groups on a porous structure and a pH point of zero charge (pHpzc) of 9.3. Adsorption of tetracycline (TC) was conducted under varying conditions, revealing significant effects of carbonization temperature, solution pH, adsorbent dose, ionic strength, contact time and initial concentration of TC on the biochar adsorption capacity. Kinetic data on TC adsorption were best described using the Elovich kinetic model, with an initial adsorption rate of 167.3 mg g-1 min-1. Isotherm data on adsorption of the desired biochar showed the best fit with the Temkin isotherm model, followed by the Langmuir model, displaying maximum adsorption capacity at 12.4 mg g-1. The electrostatic interactions between the charged biochar surfaces and certain fractions of TC were proposed as the major mechanism, together with H-bonding, pore-filling effect and π-π interaction. This study demonstrates great potential of H. undatus peel as a starting material to prepare an effective and reusable adsorbent in the removal of TC.

Abstract
The use of graphene oxide (GO) photogenerated electron-hole (e-h+) pairs to degrade pollutants is a novel green method for wastewater treatment. However, the interaction between photosensitive pollutants and a GO-light system remains unclear. In this work, the mechanism of degradation of photosensitive pollutant tetracycline (TC) promoted by GO photogenerated e-h+ pairs was studied. Our studies encompassed the determination of TC removal kinetics, analysis of active substances for TC degradation, identification of degradation products, and computational modeling. Clear evidence shows that a new reaction mechanism of enhanced adsorption and induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was involved. This mechanism was conducive to significantly enhanced TC removal. Kinetic studies showed a first-order behavior that can be well described by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. Radical scavenging experiments confirmed that 1O2, •O2-, and holes (h+) were the main active substances for TC degradation. Electron spin resonance analysis indicated that photoexcited TC molecules may transfer electrons to the conduction band of GO to induce the generation of additional ROS. A major transformation product (m/z 459) during TC degradation was identified with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Density functional theory calculation indicated a stronger adsorption between TC and GO under photoirradiation. This mechanism of photo-enhanced adsorption and synergistic induced generation of ROS provides a new strategy for the removal of emerging pollutants in water. Overall, the new mechanism revealed in this work expands the knowledge of applying GO to wastewater treatment and is of great reference value for research in this field.

Abstract
Dyes, as organic pollutants, are causing increasingly severe environmental problems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered promising dye adsorbents; however, their application is limited due to their powder or solid particle forms and limited reusability. Therefore, this study proposes an innovative approach to develop a novel MOF-based composite aerogel, specifically a HKUST-1/polyacrylonitrile nanofibers/regenerated cellulose (HKUST-1/PANNs/RC) composite aerogel adsorbent, for the adsorption of pollutants in water. This adsorbent was successfully prepared using a simple method combining covalent crosslinking, quick freezing, freeze-drying, in-situ growth synthesis, and solvothermal techniques. The HKUST-1/PANNs/RC composite aerogel exhibits a significantly large specific surface area, which is approximately 64 times greater than that of PANNs/RC (10.45 m2·g-1), with a specific surface area of 669.9 m2·g-1. The PANNs serve as a support framework, imparting excellent mechanical properties to the composite aerogel, enhancing its overall stability and recoverability. Additionally, the composite aerogel contains numerous -COOH and -OH groups on its surface, providing strong acid resistance and facilitating interactions with pollutant molecules through electrostatic interactions, π-π conjugation, n-π* interactions, and hydrogen bonding, thereby promoting the adsorption process. Using methylene blue (MB) as a probe molecule, the study results demonstrate that the HKUST-1/PANNs/RC composite aerogel has an adsorption capacity of 522.01 mg·g-1 for MB (25 h), exhibiting excellent adsorption performance. This composite aerogel shows great potential for application in water pollution control.

Abstract
Wastewater treatment is inevitably required to alleviate the pollution of water resources by various contaminants such as antibiotics. MOFs are novel materials with photocatalytic activities. In this study, sonophotocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) by the Cerium-based MOF (Ce-MOF) is optimized by modification of its synthesis route. Ce-MOF synthesis by room temperature (RT), hydrothermal (HT), and sonochemical synthesis (SC) are studied. TC degradation experiments revealed the superiority of SC synthesis. The interplay of main synthesis parameters, namely, initial ligand concentration, ultrasound (US) power and time on sonophotocatalytic activity of Ce-MOF, were investigated by response surface methodology model (RSM) utilizing the central composite experimental design (CCD). The optimum SC synthesis conditions are an initial ligand concentration of 8.4 mmol/L, a sonication power of 50 amplitude, and a US time of 60 min. The optimally synthesized Ce-MOF was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, zeta potential analysis, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, particle size analysis, Mott-Schottky analysis, photocurrent analysis, electrochemical impedance spectra, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The findings indicate that the removal efficiency of TC can reach up to 81.75% within 120 min in an aqueous solution containing an initial TC concentration of 120 ppm and 1 g/L Ce-MOF at pH of 7. Mineralization efficiency of the process is 71% according to COD measurements. The Ce-MOF catalyst retained its chemical stability and remained active upon TC degradation which makes it a promising candidate for wastewater treatment.

Vo TK. A novel ionic liquid-entrapped MIL-101(Cr) framework with enhanced removal efficiency towards phosphate from aqueous solution. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:28706-28718.

Abstract
Developing adsorbent materials with high adsorptive dephosphorization (ADP) is significant for treating phosphate from aqueous solutions and eutrophic water. Herein, the MIL-101(Cr) framework was entrapped ionic liquid (IL) of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumbromide ionic liquid ([C4mem]+[Br]-) using a ship-in-a-bottle approach to obtain novel adsorbents [C4mem]+[Br]-@MIL-101(Cr) contained varied IL contents, namely C4mem@MIL-101. The characterization results revealed that the formed [C4mem]+[Br]- molecules interacted with the MIL-101(Cr) frameworks, enhanced their stability, and offered additional adsorption sites. The batch adsorptions of phosphate showed that the optimized C4mem@MIL-101 adsorbent loaded with ~ 7% IL-based N content had the highest phosphate absorbing capacity of ~ 200 mg/g, outperforming the pristine MIL-101(Cr) and other adsorbents. The ADP efficiency was facilitated in the acidic media, where the phosphate ions of H2PO4- and HPO42- captured onto the C4mem@MIL-101 via several interactions, including electrostatic attraction, H-bonds, and chemical interactions. In the meantime, the coexisting anions diminished the phosphate adsorption because they competed with the pollutants at adsorption sites. Furthermore, phosphate treatment under the continuous fixed-bed conditions showed that 1 g of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-mixed C4mem@MIL-101 pellets purified 25 l of water containing phosphate with a 1 mg/l concentration. The results suggest that the novel [C4mem]+[Br]-@MIL-101(Cr) structure had a high potential for treating phosphate in aqueous solutions.

[PMID: 38583386 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120786] [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: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
An innovative task was undertaken to convert ubiquitous and toxic electronic waste, waste toner powder (WTP), into novel adsorbents. Alkaline modification with KOH, NaOH, and NH4OH was employed for the first time to synthesize a series of surface-modified WTP with enhanced dispersibility and adsorption capacity. XRD, XRF, FTIR, and BET analyses confirmed that the prepared KOH-WTP, NaOH-WTP, and NH4OH-WTP were oxygen-functionalized self-doped iron oxide-graphite nanocomposites. The prepared adsorbents were used to remove methylene blue and tetracycline from aqueous solutions. KOH-WTP (0.1 g/100 mL) adsorbed 80% of 10 mg/L methylene blue within 1 h, while 0.1 g/100 mL NH4OH-WTP removed 72% of 10 mg/L tetracycline in 3 h. Exploring surface chemistry by altering solution pH and temperature suggested that hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, π-π electron stacking, and pore filling were plausible adsorption mechanisms. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a diminishing adsorbents porosity after adsorption proving the filling of pores by the adsorbates. KOH-WTP and NH4OH-WTP removed 77% and 61% of methylene blue and tetracycline respectively in the fourth reuse. The adsorption data of methylene blue and tetracycline fitted the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of KOH-WTP and NH4OH-WTP for methylene blue and tetracycline were 59 mg/g and 43 mg/g respectively. The prepared adsorbents were also compared with other adsorbents to assess their performance. The transformation of waste toner powder into magnetically separable oxygen-functionalized WTP with outstanding recyclability and adsorption capacity showcases a significant advancement in sustainable wastewater treatment. This further aligns with the principles of the circular economy through the utilization of toxic e-waste in value-added applications. Additionally, magnetic separation of surface-modified WTP post-treatment can curtail filtration and centrifugation expenses and adsorbent loss during wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The accumulation of agricultural chemicals in the environment has become a global concern, of which sulfonylurea herbicides (SUHs) constitute a significant category. Solar-driven photocatalysis is favored for removing organic pollutants due to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based materials with superior catalytic activities and physicochemical stabilities are promising photocatalysts. This review describes the g-C3N4-based materials and their uses in the photocatalytic degradation of SUHs or other organic pollutants with similar structures. First, the fundamentals of g-C3N4-based materials and photocatalytic SUHs degradation are discussed to provide an in-depth understanding of the mechanism for the photocatalytic activity. The ability of different g-C3N4-based materials to photocatalytically degrade SUH-like structures is then discussed and summarized based on different modification strategies (morphology modulation, elemental doping, defect engineering, and heterojunction formations). Meanwhile, the effects of different environmental factors on the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4-based materials are described. Finally, the major challenges and opportunities of g-C3N4-based materials for the photocatalytic degradation of SUHs are proposed. It is hoped that this review will show the feasibility of photocatalytic degradation of SUHs with g-C3N4-based materials.

Abstract
Degradation of antibiotics through electrocatalytic oxidation has recently been comprehended as a promising strategy in wastewater treatment. Herein, nitrogen and sulphur doped graphene oxide (N,S-rGO) nanosheets were synthesized and employed as metal-free anodic material for electrochemical degradation of antibiotics, viz. metronidazole (MNZ) and tetracycline (TC). The synthesized anodic material was characterized using various spectral techniques and further the electrochemical behaviour of N,S-rGO was thoroughly examined. Thereafter, the N,S-rGO material was then employed as the anode material towards the electrocatalytic degradation of antibiotics. Parameters such as initial concentration of the antibiotics and current densities were varied and their effect towards the degradation of MNZ and TC were probed. Notably, the N,S-rGO based anode has shown impressive removal efficiency of 99% and 98.5%, after 120 min of reaction time for MNZ and TC, respectively, under optimized conditions. The obtained results including the kinetic parameters, removal efficiency and electrical efficiency ensure that the prepared anodic material has huge prospective towards real-time application for removal of antibiotics from water.

Abstract
In this study, gold-reduced graphene oxide (Au@rGO) nanocomposite has been synthesized by repurposing electronic waste and dry batteries. This innovative approach involved utilizing the graphite rod from dry batteries to produce reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which was subsequently modified through the incorporation of gold nanoparticles obtained from recycled electronic waste. This methodology marks a significant breakthrough in electronic waste recycling, presenting a cost-effective and sustainable means of creating novel nanocomposites for applications in photocatalysis and adsorption, particularly in the removal of crystal violet (CV) from aqueous media. The synthesized Au@rGO nanocomposite was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersed X-ray, and N2 adsorption/desorption. Parameters that affect the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of CV dye have been studied in detail. The optimal conditions for CV adsorption and photocatalytic degradation were pH of 10, equilibrium time of 30 min, CV concentration of 10 mg/L and adsorbent dosage of 40 mg. Furthermore, the isotherm and kinetics of CV removal were also studied. The removal of CV dye using adsorption and photocatalytic degradation techniques reached 95% and 99%, respectively. Consequently, the results showed that photocatalytic degradation of CV dye onto the mesoporous Au@rGO nanocomposite is more proper way than the adsorption technique for removing the CV dye from aqueous media. The designed photocatalyst has high efficiency and it can be reused and activated several times so it can be used in real water treatment applications.

Molecules 2023; 29:173. [PMID: 38202756 PMCID: PMC10779899 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29010173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
To improve the adsorption efficiency of pollutants by biochar, preparing graphene-like biochar (GBC) or nitrogen-doped biochar are two commonly used methods. However, the difference in the nitrogen doping (N-doping) effects upon the adsorption of pollutants by pristine biochar (PBC) and GBC, as well as the underlying mechanisms, are still unclear. Take the tetracycline (TC) as an example, the present study analyzed the characteristics of the adsorption of TCs on biochars (PBC, GBC, N-PBC, N-GBC), and significant differences in the effects of N-doping on the adsorption of TCs by PBC and GBC were consistently observed at different solution properties. Specifically, N-doping had varied effects on the adsorption performance of PBC, whereas it uniformly improved the adsorption performance of GBC. To interpret the phenomenon, the N-doping upon the adsorption was revealed by the QSAR model, which indicated that the pore filling (VM) and the interactions between TCs with biochars (Ead-v) were found to be the most important two factors. Furthermore, the density functional theory (DFT) results demonstrated that N-doping slightly affects biochar's chemical reactivity. The van der Waals (vdWs) and electrostatic interactions are the main forces for TCs-biochars interactions. Moreover, N-doping mostly strengthened the electrostatic interactions of TCs-biochars, but the vdWs interactions of most samples remained largely unaffected. Overall, the revealed mechanism of N-doping on TCs adsorption by biochars will enhance our knowledge of antibiotic pollution remediation.

Abstract
The template method is an effective means to improve the specific surface area and porosity of biochar, but the synthesis of template agents and the way they are integrated with biomass materials still need further development. Therefore, the free Pseudomonas sp. Y1 was used to synthesize calcium-precipitated nanoparticles (CPN) on sludge as a fused template skeleton to enlarge the surface area of sludge biochar facilitating the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) in this work. The modified biochar (FBC) showed excellent specific surface area (448.55 m2 g-1) and porosity (0.0053 cm³ g-1), stable morphological structure, abundant active functional groups, and appreciable adsorption capacity (65.43 mg g-1) based on several characterization and adsorption experiments. Moreover, the adsorption model postulated that the removal of TC is mainly a chemisorption-based heat-trapping, disordered multilayer interaction. In detail, this process involved the joint contribution from electrostatic interactions, ligand exchange, hydrogen bonding, π-π bonding, complexation, and pore filling. Meanwhile, the adaptability and stability of FBC were examined by pH and coexisting substances. This template skeleton induced by microorganisms can provide new insight into the modification of biochar with the template method.

Abstract
It has been an urgent requirement for materials with remarkable performance in the photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants by photocatalytic technology. Limited surface area and speedy recombination rate of photogenerated charge carriers seriously restrain the application of g-C3N4. Morphology control is a powerful approach to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of g-C3N4. Herein, we reported a method to attain graphitic carbon nitride with rectangular hollow tubular morphology and asperous surface (TUM-CN-2) which is prepared from urea-melamine hydrothermal products and trithiocyanuric acid by self-assembling without using organic solvents or template agents. The specific surface area, photocatalytic activity, and photo-generated carriers migration and separation rate of the obtained photocatalyst TUM-CN-2 are vastly improved. Contrasted with pure g-C3N4, the degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and Rhodamine B (RhB) was enhanced about 3.04 and 13.96 times in visible light irradiation, respectively. Moreover, the interference parameters, active free radicals, potential degradation mechanism, and degradation paths of TCH were researched systematically. This work provides a green way to acquire the modified g-C3N4 with splendid catalytic activity through the self-assembly method.

Abstract
Although Fe/Fe2O3 has potential application compared with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), its smooth structure largely limits the catalytic performance. To address this challenge, we innovatively constructed highly efficient composite Fe/Fe2O3@UiO-66 via employing an urchin-like core-shell structure of Fe/Fe2O3 onto UiO-66 through a facile ion exchange precipitation method without inert gas protection. The characterization results show the urchin-like core-shell configuration can extend the life span of Fe0 and produce more active sites. Besides, the absorption spectrum is broadened by Fe2O3 which has narrow band gap and the high-efficiency separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs is obtained with the load of Fe/Fe2O3. Moreover, Two-parameter pseudo-first-order decay model fits well with the reduction and adsorption of composites in the dark reaction, and a plausible pathway for tetracycline (TC) degradation is also proposed. The findings of this research provide a promising method for promoting the catalytic properties of MOF-based materials and Fe/Fe2O3.

Abstract
In this study, FeS/N-doped biochar (NBC) derived from the co-pyrolysis of birch sawdust and Mohr's salt was applied to evaluate the efficiency of catalyzed peroxydisulfate (PDS) oxidation for tetracycline (TC) degradation. It is found that the combination of ultrasonic irradiation can distinctly enhance the removal of TC. This study investigated the effects of control factors such as PDS dose, solution pH, ultrasonic power, and frequency on TC degradation. Within the applied ultrasound intensity range, TC degradation increases with increasing frequency and power. However, excessive power can lead to a reduced efficiency. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the observed reaction kinetic constant of TC degradation increased from 0.0251 to 0.0474 min-1, with an increase of 89%. The removal ratio of TC also increased from ∼85% to ∼99% and the mineralization level from 45% to 64% within 90 min. Through the decomposition testing of PDS, reaction stoichiometric efficiency calculation, and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments, it is shown that the increase in TC degradation of the ultrasound-assisted FeS/NBC-PDS system was attributed to the increase in PDS decomposition and utilization, as well as the increase in SO4•- concentration. The radical quenching experiments showed that SO4•-, •OH, and O2•- radicals were the dominant active species in TC degradation. TC degradation pathways were speculated according to intermediates from HPLC-MS analysis. The test of simulated actual samples showed that dissolved organic matter, metal ions, and anions in waters can undercut the TC degradation in FeS/NBC-PDS system, but ultrasound can significantly reduce the negative impact of these factors.

Abstract
The facile preparation of visible-light-driven low-cost photocatalysts with extraordinary catalytic activity is highly beneficial in treating emerging pharmaceutical contaminants. Herein, oxalic acid-induced chemically functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (OCN) was prepared using a one-pot calcination method for the degradation of tetracycline. The estimated structural, morphological, and optical properties proved the formation of highly porous oxalic acid functionalized g-C3N4 (OCN) with enhanced surface area and abundant amino groups. The photocatalytic degradation studies reported a maximum tetracycline removal of 92% within 90 min of visible light illumination and followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (k = 0.03068min-1). The phenomenal photocatalytic efficacy of the functionalized OCN is ascribed to the increased presence of amino groups, strengthening visible light absorption. The enriched surface area also generated many active sites for the reclamation of tetracycline. The radicals trapping studies show that holes and superoxides are mainly responsible for the redemption of tetracycline. The degradation pathways of the tetracycline using OCN were predicted using HRMS. This study provides more insights into the reclamation of tetracycline using a highly efficient metal-free photocatalyst.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 227:115735. [PMID: 37001849 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
InVO4 is the most attractive inorganic new-generation material for advanced scientific research, especially in the fields of energy and environmental science. In theory, this stable, non-toxic, energy-efficient metal vanadate semiconductor is expected to exhibit significant catalytic activity owing to its narrow bandgap energy. However, this has not been achieved in practice because of its inherent defects in terms of the separation and migration of charge carriers. In fact, the exploration of this material is still in its infancy, and more research is needed to improve its efficiency and speed up its commercialization. Band gap engineering using heterojunction formation offers better results than other methods, such as morphological variations and doping efforts. In this context, the present study offers a significant solution substantiated by experimental results. This includes the successful synthesis of a novel nanocomposite of InVO4 nanosheets decorated with ZnWO4 nanorods with a unique improved light absorption ability. Three composites with 26.48-33.85 nm crystal sizes and 11.74-19.98 m2/g surface area were prepared with tailor-made bandgap energies in the range of 2.52-2.97 eV. Furthermore, they produced high photoexcitation currents with low EIS resistance with respect to their constituents. The as-prepared InVO4-based novel catalyst almost completely (98.33%) decomposed tetracycline (TC) antibiotic in just 90 min, proving its high efficacy. The enhanced performance of the novel catalyst is 7.6 times that of InVO4 and 10 times that of ZnWO4. Moreover, the catalyst intake was significantly small (15 mg/100 mL TC solution).

Abstract
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been used in copper (II) oxide (CuO)-based photocatalysts as an additive material. An application of this CuO-based photocatalyst is in the CO2 reduction process. The preparation of rGO by a Zn-modified Hummers' method has resulted in a high quality of rGO in terms of excellent crystallinity and morphology. However, implementing Zn-modified rGO in CuO-based photocatalysts for the CO2 reduction process has yet to be studied. Therefore, this study explores the potential of combining Zn-modified rGO with CuO photocatalysts and performing these rGO/CuO composite photocatalysts to convert CO2 into valuable chemical products. The rGO was synthesized by using a Zn-modified Hummers' method and covalently grafted with CuO by amine functionalization with three different compositions (1:10, 1:20, and 1:30) of rGO/CuO photocatalyst. XRD, FTIR, and SEM were used to investigate the crystallinity, chemical bonds, and morphology of the prepared rGO and rGO/CuO composites. The performance of rGO/CuO photocatalysts for the CO2 reduction process was quantitively measured by GC-MS. We found that the rGO showed successful reduction using a Zn reducing agent. The rGO sheet could be grafted with CuO particles and resulted in a good morphology of rGO/CuO, as shown from the XRD, FTIR, and SEM results. The rGO/CuO material showed photocatalytic performance due to the advantages of synergistic components and resulted in methanol, ethanolamine, and aldehyde as fuel with amounts of 37.12, 8730, and 17.1 mmol/g catalyst, respectively. Meanwhile, adding CO2 flow time increases the resulting quantity of the product. In conclusion, the rGO/CuO composite could have potential for large-scale CO2 conversion and storage applications.

Abstract
Visible-light-assisted photocatalysis has been recognized as an effective solution to the degradation of various pollutants including antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, microplastics, and organic dyes. Herein, an n-n heterojunction TiO2/Fe-MOF photocatalyst is reported, designed via hydrothermal synthesis route. TiO2/Fe-MOF photocatalyst was characterized by XPS, BET, EIS, EDS, DRS, PL, FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM and HRTEM techniques. Inspired by XRD, FTIR, XPS, EDS, TEM, SEM, and HRTEM analyses, the successful synthesis of n-n heterojunction TiO2/Fe-MOF photocatalysts was proved. The migration efficiency of the light-induced electron-hole pairs was confirmed by the PL and EIS tests. TiO2/Fe-MOF exhibited a significant performance for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) removal under visible light irradiation. TC removal efficiency for TiO2/Fe-MOF (15%) nanocomposite reached 97% within 240 min, ca. 11 times higher than pure TiO2. The photocatalytic enhancement of TiO2/Fe-MOF could be attributed to the broadening the light response range, forming an n-n junction between Fe-MOF and TiO2 components, suppressing charge recombination. Based on recycling experiments, TiO2/Fe-MOF had a good potential to be used in consecutive TC degradation tests.

Effective photodegradation of antibiotics by guest-host synergy between photosensitizer and bismuth vanadate: Underlying mechanism and toxicity assessment. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 325:138362.

Abstract
The removal of antibiotics in wastewater has attracted increasing attention. Herein, a superior photosensitized photocatalytic system was developed with acetophenone (ACP) as the guest photosensitizer, bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) as the host catalyst and poly dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) as the bridging complex, and used for the removal of sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamethazine (SMZ) in water under simulated visible light (λ > 420 nm). The obtained ACP-PDDA-BiVO4 nanoplates attained a removal efficiency of 88.9%-98.2% for SMR, SDZ and SMZ after 60 min reaction and achieved kinetic rate constant approximately 10, 4.7 and 13 times of BiVO4, PDDA-BiVO4 and ACP-BiVO4, respectively, for SMZ degradation. In the guest-host photocatalytic system, ACP photosensitizer was found to have a great superiority in enhancing the light absorption, promoting the surface charge separation-transfer and efficient generation of holes (h+) and superoxide radical (·O2-), greatly contributing to the photoactivity. The SMZ degradation pathways were proposed based on the identified degradation intermediates, involving three main pathways of rearrangement, desulfonation and oxidation. The toxicity of intermediates was evaluated and the results demonstrated that the overall toxicity was reduced compared with parent SMZ. This catalyst maintained 92% photocatalytic oxidation performance after five cyclic experiments and displayed a co-photodegradation ability to others antibiotics (e.g., roxithromycin, ciprofloxacin et al.) in effluent water. Therefore, this work provides a facile photosensitized strategy for developing guest-host photocatalysts, which enabling the simultaneous antibiotics removal and effectively reduce the ecological risks in wastewater.

Abstract
Cigarettes, despite being economically important legal consumer products, are highly addictive and harmful, particularly to the respiratory system. Tobacco smoke is a complex mixture containing over 7000 chemical compounds, 86 of which are identified to have "sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity" in either animal or human tests. Thus, tobacco smoke poses a significant health risk to humans. This article focuses on materials that help reduce the levels of major carcinogens in cigarette smoke; these include nicotine, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, tobacco-specific nitrosamines, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde. Specifically, the research progress on adsorption effects and mechanisms of advanced materials such as cellulose, zeolite, activated carbon, graphene, and molecularly imprinted polymers are highlighted. The future trends and prospects in this field are also discussed. Notably, with advancements in supramolecular chemistry and materials engineering, the design of functionally oriented materials has become increasingly multidisciplinary. Certainly, several advanced materials can play a critical role in reducing the harmful effects of cigarette smoke. This review aims to serve as an insightful reference for the design of hybrid and functionally oriented advanced materials.

Abstract
An environmental friendly hydrogel adsorbent (DEC@GEL) was successfully manufactured by a facile free-radical polymerization method. Multiple characterizations demonstrated that the adsorbent was rich in functional groups and porous structures. The batch and multisystem adsorption experiments were applied to systematically investigate the adsorption properties of methylene blue (MB), malachite green (MG), indigo sodium dimethyl sulfonate (IC) and tartrazine (TR) in wastewater. The experimental results proved that the kinetic and isotherms of four dyes were more consistent with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model, respectively. Notably, the maximum adsorption capacities of MB, MG, TR and IC at 318 K were 2186.85, 2302.53, 1766.13 and 2301.75 mg/g, respectively, which were higher than many adsorbents that had been reported. Recycle experiment demonstrated the high reusability of the DEC@GEL. The selectivity and adsorption column experiments proved that DEC@GEL was not only widely applicable to various dyes, but also provided a positive start for the industrial application. Moreover, the simulated adsorption experiments further demonstrate that DEC@GEL had the prospect of application in real industrial conditions. Finally, four adsorption mechanisms had been proposed. Various adsorption experiments had shown that DEC@GEL was not only efficient in processing dyes, but also had great potential for practical industrial applications.

Abstract
In the present study, novel InVO4/SnWO4 nanocomposites with different concentrations of SnWO4 were successfully prepared using a facile hydrothermal technique and investigated employing a wide range of analytical methods for efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC). X-ray diffraction analysis showed the presence of the orthorhombic phases of both InVO4 and SnWO4 in the composite catalyst. Dispersion of SnWO4 nanoplates over the InVO4 nanosheets enhanced the synergistic interactions, improving the separation of charge carriers and their transfer. Furthermore, the formation of heterostructure expanded the absorption range and promoted visible light harvesting. The TC degradation efficiency of InVO4/SnWO4 nanocomposite (5 mg loading of SnWO4) reached 97.13% in 80 min under visible light, with the kinetic rate constants 5.51 and 7.63 times greater than those of pure InVO4 and SnWO4, respectively. Additionally, the scavenger results proved that hydroxyl radicals and holes played a significant role in the photodegradation of TC. Furthermore, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and transient photocurrent response analysis showed enhanced e-/h+ partition efficiency. Thus, the formation of heterostructure with strong synergistic interactions can effectively transfer the excited charge carriers and shorten the reunion rate. Accordingly, the InVO4/SnWO4 nanocomposites exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance due to the increased number of charge carriers on the surface.

Abstract
Titanium is widely used in medical devices, such as dental and orthopedic implants, due to its excellent mechanical properties, low toxicity, and biocompatibility. However, the titanium surface has the risk of microbial biofilm formation, which results in infections from species such as Candida albicans (C. albicans). This kind of biofilm prevents antifungal therapy and complicates the treatment of infectious diseases associated with implanted devices. It is critical to developing a feasible surface to decrease microbial growth while not interfering with the growth of the host cells. This study reports the influence of titanium surface modification to titanium disulfide (TiS2) on inhibiting C. albicans biofilm formation while allowing the attachment of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) on their surface. The surface of titanium parts is directly converted to structured titanium and TiS2 using direct laser processing and crystal growth methods. C. albicans adhesion and colonization are then investigated on these surfaces by the colony counting assay and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay, using 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) and microscopy images. Also, the viability and adhesion of HGFs on these surfaces are investigated to show their adhesion and biocompatibility. Titanium samples with the TiS2 surface show both C. albicans biofilm inhibition and HGF attachment. This study provides insight into designing and manufacturing titanium biomedical implants.

Abstract
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum class of antibiotics. The use of excessive doses of tetracycline antibiotics can result in their residues in food, posing varying degrees of risk to human health. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and sensitive field detection method for tetracycline residues is of great practical importance to improve the safety of food-derived animal foods. Electrochemical analysis techniques are widely used in the field of pollutant detection because of the simple detection principle, easy operation of the instrument, and low cost of analysis. In this review, we summarize the electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics by bibliometrics. Unlike the previously published reviews, this article reviews and analyzes the development of this topic. The contributions of different countries and different institutions were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explain the development of different research directions. The results of the analysis revealed that developments and innovations in materials science can enhance the performance of electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics. Among them, gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are the most used nanomaterials. Aptamer sensing strategies are the most favored methodologies in electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics.

As promising visible-light-responsive photocatalysts, triazine-based covalent organic frameworks (CTFs) still suffer from broad bandgap and high electron-hole recombination. As such, different contents of electron-rich ketone group were introduced to CTFs (X % keto-CTF), aiming to clarify the mechanism of quantitatively regulating ketone for enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance of CTFs. As ketone content increased, the bandgap narrowed, electron-hole recombination decreased, charge transfer and quantum yield increased. As a result, keto-CTF outperformed other keto-CTFs in visible-light photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline, and apparent rate constant of TC (kobs) was 3.69 times higher than that of CTF. Importantly, ketone tuning induced varied types and concentrations of reactive species. Integrated with quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, this study unravels how ketone content regulates bandgap structure of CTF, affects the contribution of varied reactive species, and quantitatively enhances the photocatalytic performance of CTFs. It also provides novel insights into the precise design and synthesis of CTFs-based catalyst structures for high-efficient visible-light photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
In this work, nitrogen-doped magnetic porous carbon material (N-MPC) was prepared through the high-temperature calcination of low-cost [Fe(CN)6]3--loaded anion-exchange resin, which was experimentally demonstrated to have significant adsorption performance for tetracycline (TC) in water. The N-MPC adsorbent with a large specific surface area (781.1 m2 g-1) was able to maintain excellent performance in a wide pH range from 4 to 10 or in high ionic strength solution. The adsorption of TC on N-MPC was found to be more consistent with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir adsorption model, and the maximum adsorption capacity (qm, cal) was calculated to be 603.4 mg g-1. As a recoverable magnetic adsorbent, the N-MPC remained a TC removal rate higher than 70% after four adsorption cycles. The adsorption mechanism was speculated on the basis of characterizations, where pore filling, hydrogen bonding interaction, and π-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction were crucial adsorption mechanisms. A variety of antibiotics were selected for adsorption, and excellent performance was found especially for TCs, indicating that the N-MPC can be used for the efficient removal of TCs from water.

Abstract
In this research, Hydroxyethyl cellulose - graphene oxide HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1) nanocomposite as adsorbents were fabricated by crosslinking ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) to study the thermodynamic, kinetic and isotherm of doxycycline antibiotic adsorption. The morphology and structure of the adsorbents were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (FE-SEM- EDX), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The adsorption behavior of doxycycline (DOX) was studied with different parameters including doxycycline concentration, pH, the dose of adsorbent (HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn, mole ratio (2:1)), contact time, and temperature. The optimal conditions for the removal of DOX are pH = 3.0, contact time 100 min, and 20 min for HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1). The removal percentage for HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1) was 97% and 95.5%, respectively. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms such as the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models were analyzed according to the experimental data. Also, four adsorption kinetics were investigated for removing DOX. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models provided the best fit for experimental data for HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1). Thermodynamic data showed that negative values of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) and the negative value of enthalpy (ΔH°) of the adsorption process for adsorbents. It means that DOX removal was a spontaneous and exothermic reaction.

Abstract
Herein, an iron-doped ZIF-8-loaded multi-walled carbon nanotube (FZM) was synthesized and its adsorption performance on tetracycline (TC) was investigated. The experimental conditions (solution pH, temperature, adsorbent dose) were optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD) in response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that the adsorption effect of TC by FZM is optimal under the conditions of temperature = 298 K, pH = 6, and contact time = 360 min. The adsorption processes of TC by FZM follow the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models, indicating that chemisorption is the dominant factor and the adsorption reaction is multi-layer, with a theoretical maximum saturation capacity of 1111.11 mg/g at 298 K. The adsorption thermodynamic results indicate that the adsorption of TC by FZM is a spontaneous and endothermic process. The mechanism of TC adsorption by FZM possibly occurs through hydrogen bonding, surface complexation, π-π interaction, and electrostatic interaction. From the statistical results, the optimal adsorption capacity of TC by FZM is 599.78 mg/g at a pH of 7.1, a temperature of 312.5 K, and an adsorbent dose of 64.43 mg/L, with a deviation of 1.73% from the actual value. Furthermore, regeneration experiments demonstrate that FZM has excellent reusability with a 15% loss of adsorption capacity after four cycles. This study provides some insights to study the adsorption behavior of TC by MOFs and the optimization of the adsorption experimental conditions, and also shows the potential of FZM for TC removal.

Abstract
Graphene is fundamentally a two-dimensional material with extraordinary optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical characteristics. It has a versatile surface chemistry and large surface area. It is a carbon nanomaterial, which comprises sp2 hybridized carbon atoms placed in a hexagonal lattice with one-atom thickness, giving it a two-dimensional structure. A large number of synthesis techniques including epitaxial growth, liquid phase exfoliation, electrochemical exfoliation, mechanical exfoliation, and chemical vapor deposition are used for the synthesis of graphene. Graphene prepared using different techniques can have a number of benefits and deficiencies depending on its application. This study provides a summary of graphene preparation techniques and critically assesses the use of graphene, its derivates, and composites in environmental applications. These applications include the use of graphene as membrane material for the detoxication and purification of water, active material for gas sensing, heavy metal ions detection, and CO2 conversion. Furthermore, a trend analysis of both synthesis techniques and environmental applications of graphene has been performed by extracting and analyzing Scopus data from the past ten years. Finally, conclusions and outlook are provided to address the residual challenges related to the synthesis of the material and its use for environmental applications.

Phosphorus recovery as K-struvite from a waste stream: A review of influencing factors, advantages, disadvantages and challenges. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:114086. [PMID: 35970377 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Currently, the depletion of natural resources and contamination of the surrounding environment demand a paradigm shift to resource recycling and reuse. In this regard, phosphorus (P) is a model nutrient that possesses the negative traits of depletion (will be exhausted in the next 100 years) and environmental degradation (causes eutrophication and climate change), and this has prompted the scientific community to search for options to solve P-related problems. To date, P recovery in the form of struvite from wastewater is one viable solution suggested by many scholars. Struvite can be recovered either in the form of NH4-struvite (MgNH4PO4•6H2O) or K-struvite (MgKPO4•6H2O). From struvite, K (MgKPO4•6H2O) and N (MgNH4PO4•6H2O) are important nutrients for plant growth, but N is more abundant in the environment than K (the soil's most limited nutrient), which requires a systematic approach during P recovery. Although K-struvite recovery is a promising approach, information related to its crystallization is deficient. Here, we present the general concept of P recovery as struvite and details about K-struvite, such as the source of nutrients, factors (pH, molar ratio, supersaturation, temperature, and seeding), advantages (environmental, economic, and social), disadvantages (heavy metals, pathogenic organisms, and antibiotic resistance genes), and challenges (scale-up and acceptance). Overall, this study provides insights into state-of-the-art K-struvite recovery from wastewater as a potential slow-release fertilizer that can be used as a macronutrient (P-K-Mg) source for plants as commercial grade-fertilizers.

Abstract
Herbicides are one of the most recurring pollutants in the aquatic system due to their widespread usage in the agriculture sector for weed control. Semiconductor-based photocatalysts have gained recognition due to their ability to degrade and mineralize pollutants into harmless by-products completely. Lately, many studies have been done to design photocatalysts with efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers and enhanced light absorption. Photocatalyst engineering through doping with metal and non-metal elements and the formation of heterojunction are proven effective for minimizing the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enlarging the absorption in the visible light region. This review focuses on discussing and evaluating the recent progress in the types of photocatalysts and their performance in the remediation of herbicides in wastewater. The development of innovative hybrid technologies is also highlighted. The limitations and challenges of photocatalysis technology in the present literature have been identified, and future studies are recommended.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation of antibiotic tetracycline (TC) is becoming an accessible and efficient technology. The removal of TC from the complex wastewater needs to be lucubrated. In this study, a TC removal system involving degradation and adsorption was established. TC degradation was accomplished by enhanced advanced oxidation via the addition of sodium persulfate (SP) and biochar into simulated wastewater containing Mn2+ and TC wastewater. The adsorption of TC and its derivatives was removed by biochar. The results indicate that the optimized reaction parameters were 3.0 g/L of biochar prepared at 600 °C (B600) and 400 mg/L of SP under acidic condition, and the removal percentage of TC was 87.48%, including 74.23% of degradation and 13.28% of adsorption; the anions Cl-, NO3-, and H2PO4- had negligible effects on the removal of TC in this Mn2+/B600/SP system. The system also functioned well with an aqueous solution with a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis indicated that ·OH and SO4- free radicals were present in the Mn2+/B600/SP system. Based on the testing and analysis results, a removal mechanism and potential TC degradation pathway for this system were proposed. TC can be degraded by ·OH and SO4- via three degradation pathways. Mn2+ can be precipitated as MnO2, and a part of the TC and its derivatives can be adsorbed on the biochar surface. The Mn2+/B600/SP system also performed satisfactorily for a complex aqueous solution with various cations and antibiotics.

In this work, a low-cost carbon-based catalyst (TSBC) was prepared by the facile one-pot pyrolysis of tannery sludge (TS) and used to activate persulfate (PS) for tetracycline (TC) removal. The results showed that TSBC-500 exhibited optimal physicochemical properties and the best performance for PS activation to remove TC from drinking water. Approximately 99.1% of TC was removed in the TSBC-500/PS system, which was considerably higher than those in the TSBC-500 adsorption and pure PS systems. Radical quenching experiments indicated that •OH and SO4•- played major roles in the TC removal in the TSBC-500/PS system. In addition, transition metals, functional groups, and the high degree of carbon structural defects were beneficial for PS activation to degrade TC. This study not only newly contributes to high-value utilization of TS as a PS activator but also offers an efficient method for the removal of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Once released into water, the widely used graphene oxide (GO) is likely to adsorb classical environmental pollutants, exemplified by Microcystin-LR (MCLR) that is a representative double-bond rich liver-toxic endotoxin. While GO-mediated carrier effect is fairly predictable, the involvement of environmental factors like UV and pH may add additional level of sophistication as these factors may impact the adsorption capacity of GO to MCLR. Here, we firstly investigated the changes of GO structure under different UV-radiation durations and pH conditions with a view to establish the correlation in terms of MCLR adsorption onto GO. We demonstrated that GO reduction especially oxygen-containing groups reduction induced by UV- radiation caused the compromised adsorption MCLR capacity on GO. Besides, the higher pH decreased the non-biological MCLR adsorption to GO by reducing GO defect sites and increasing electrostatic repulsion. These abiotic discoveries were further investigated to compare the safety features of GO-MCLR complex. Under dark condition (pH = 7), we revealed the cytotoxicity of GO-MCLR to normal liver cells, which involved the ROS generation and cell ferroptosis caused by Fe2+ accumulation. Introduction of UV and pH alternation in environment impacted GO-mediated environmental toxicant adsorption and resulting safety characteristics, which reminded us environmental factors should not be ignored in the GO-mediated carrier effect.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) has poor degradability and hepatotoxicity which will increase the burden on the aquatic environment when discharged into lakes in large quantities. LDH materials are often used as adsorbents because of their superior surface area and controllability of morphology. Herein, NiFe LDH hollow microspheres (NFHMS) were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The removal of tetracycline by the as-prepared material in an aquatic environment was systematically investigated through comprehensive characterizations. The NFHMS sample presents a larger specific surface area than the two control samples, which contributes to its higher adsorption performance. The adsorption mechanisms of TC on NFHMS is mainly electrostatic adsorption. The fitting results of experimental data coincide well with pseudo-second-order and Weber-Morris models through kinetic simulation. Moreover, the Langmuir model is verified to be more suitable than the Freundlich model in elucidating molecular surface adsorption, and the maximum adsorption capacity of NFHMS obtained from the Langmuir model is 90.9 mg g-1. Higher temperature is beneficial to improve the adsorption performance, and the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. The initial pH of the solution will affect the adsorption capacity, and the partial neutral condition is more favorable. In addition, NFHMS sample exhibits good stability in cyclic tests. Therefore, NFHMS material is expected to be a very promising adsorbent for treating tetracycline in wastewater.
