Abstract
The Z-scheme MIL-88B/BiOBr (referred to as MxBy, whereas x and y are the mass of MIL-88B(Fe) and BiOBr) heterojunction photocatalysts are successfully prepared by a facile ball milling method. By adding low concentration H2O2 under visible light irradiation, the Z-scheme heterojunction and photocatalytic-Fenton-like reaction synergistically enhance the degradation and mineralization of ciprofloxacin (CIP). Among them, M50B150 showed efficient photodegradation efficiency and excellent cycling stability, with 94.6% removal of CIP (10 mg L-1) by M50B150 (0.2 g L-1) under 90 min of visible light. In the MxBy heterojunctions, the rapid transfer of photo-generated electrons not only directly decomposed H2O2 to generate ·OH, but also improved the cycle of Fe3+/Fe2+ pairs, which facilitated the reaction with H2O2 to generate ·OH and ·O2 - radicals. In addition, the effects of photocatalyst dosages, pH of CIP solution, and coexisting substances on CIP removal are systematically investigated. It is found that the photocatalytic- Fenton-like reaction can be carried out at a pH close to neutral conditions. Finally, the charge transfer mechanism of the Z-scheme is verified by electron spin resonance (ESR) signals. The ecotoxicity of CIP degradation products is estimated by the T.E.S.T tool, indicating that the constructed photocatalysis-Fenton-like system is a green wastewater treatment technology.

Abstract
The increasing presence of fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics in aquatic environments is a growing concern due to their widespread use, negatively impacting aquatic organisms. This paper provides an overview of the environmental distribution, sources, fate, and both single and mixed toxicity of FQ antibiotics in aquatic environments. It also examines the accumulation of FQ antibiotics in aquatic organisms and their transfer into the human body through the food chain. The study identifies critical factors such as metabolism characteristics, physiochemical characteristics, light, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and environmental compatibility that influence the presence of FQ antibiotics in aquatic environments. Mixed pollutants of FQ antibiotics pose significant risks to the ecological environment. Additionally, the paper critically discusses advanced treatment technologies designed to remove FQ antibiotics from wastewater, focusing on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs). The discussion also includes the benefits and limitations of these technologies in degrading FQ antibiotics in wastewater treatment plants. The paper concludes by proposing new approaches for regulating and controlling FQ antibiotics to aid in the development of ecological protection measures.

Abstract
Due to the incomplete elimination by traditional wastewater treatment, antibiotics are becoming emerging contaminants, which are proved to be ubiquitous and promote bacterial resistance in the aquatic systems. Antibiotic pollution has raised particular concerns, calling for improved methods to clean wastewater and water. Photo-assisted advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have attracted increasing attention because of the fast reaction rate, high oxidation capacity and low selectivity to remove antibiotics from wastewater. On the basis of latest literature, we found some new breakthroughs in the degradation mechanisms of antibiotic micropollutants with respect to the AOPs. Therefore, this paper summarizes and highlights the degradation kinetics, pathways and mechanisms of antibiotics degraded by the photo-assisted AOPs, including the UV/O3 process, photo-Fenton technology, and photocatalysis. In the processes, functional groups are attacked by hydroxyl radicals, and major structures are destroyed subsequently, which depends on the classes of antibiotics. Meanwhile, their basic principles, current applications and influencing factors are briefly discussed. The main challenges, prospects, and recommendations for the improvement of photo-assisted AOPs are proposed to better remove antibiotics from wastewater.

Abstract
The enrichment and transport of antibiotics in the environments pose many potential hazards to aquatic animals and humans, which has become one of the public health challenges worldwide. As a widely used class of antibiotics, fluoroquinolones (FQs) generally accumulated in the environments as traditional sewage treatment plants cannot completely remove them. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been shown to be a promising method for the abatement of antibiotic contamination. In this review, influencing factors and relevant mechanisms of FQs removal by various AOPs were summarized. Compared with other AOPs, photocatalytic ozone may be considered as a cost-effective method for degrading FQs. Finally, the benefits and application restrictions of AOPs were discussed, along with proposed research directions to provide new insights into the control of FQs pollutant via AOPs in practical applications.

Abstract
A novel composite of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) supported V2O5 quantum dots decorated Bi2O3 hybrid was prepared by the simple wet-impregnation method, and the photocatalytic performance of the prepared samples was investigated against the photodegradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). Herein, different samples of pristine, V2O5/Bi2O3 and MWCNT@V2O5/Bi2O3 hybrid photocatalyst were prepared and systematically characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The characterization results demonstrated that the introduction of MWCNT can change the energy band gap of V2O5/Bi2O3, and the band energies vary with a constituent of MWCNT@V2O5/Bi2O3 catalyst, in which MWCNT@V2O5/Bi2O3-5 (0.05 g@0.50 g:0.50 g) has the optimal band gap energy of 2.46 eV. The photocatalytic test demonstrates that the MWCNT@V2O5/Bi2O3-5 hybrid composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity in CIP degradation compared to that pure and other photocatalyst and its degradation efficiency did not decrease significantly even after five cyclic experiments. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was due to the formation of heterojunction among MWCNT, V2O5 and Bi2O3, which distinctly improved the separation efficiency of the photogenerated charge carrier, thus increasing the degradation performance. This work gives a new approach to designing an efficient photocatalyst for contaminants degradation.

Abstract
The use of visible-driven photocatalysts has fascinated attention as a capable and sustainable approach for wastewater remediation. In this work, BiOBr/carbon quantum dot (CQDs)/saponite composites (CQDs/Clay@BiOBr) were fabricated via hydrothermally using two different CQDs/Clay precursors (in-situ synthesis (IS) and physical mixing (PM)). The obtained products were characterized, and the photocatalytic performances of the prepared samples were evaluated in the photocatalytic decomposition of emerging ciprofloxacin (CIP) pharmaceutical waste. The highest CIP mineralization performance was achieved when a combination of BiOBr and CQDs/Clay (IS) with the appropriate proportion because the strong adhesion between CQDs and clay generate a great heterojunction in the composite. The stronger interaction of CQDs and better distribution of CQDs on the surface of clay in the CQDs/Clay (IS) enhanced the interaction of BiOBr and CQDs, and avoided the re-agglomeration of excess of CQDs on surface of BiOBr which reduce the active surface to receive the light and react with CIP. The ultrafast degradation rate of the optimized CQDs/Clay@BiOBr composite was better compared to others. The significant improvement in the CIP degradation efficiency of the CQDs/Clay@BiOBr composite was attributed to the excellent separation and transportation of photogenerated electrons and holes, as confirmed by photoluminescence, photocurrent density, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results. Moreover, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of CIP in the CQDs/Clay@BiOBr composite was proposed based on the electronic states of each material in the composite and on a scavenger test. Thus, the proposed CQDs/Clay@BiOBr composite can be employed as a potential visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the decomposition of organic contaminants in wastewater.

Abstract
Biochars derived from three species of algae was synthesized by impregnating the green algae Ulva Ohnoi, red algae Agardhiella subulata, and brown algae Sargassum hemiphyllum with ZnCl2 chemical activator and employed as a long-term adsorbent for ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal from water. The results revealed that combination of brown algae and ZnCl2 chemical activator (ZBAB) successfully produced mesoporous biochar with excellent physicochemical characteristics and gave the best CIP adsorption capacity. The ZBAB yielded a high CIP adsorption capacity (190-300 mg g-1) under various parameter effects (initial pH, temperature and major ions). Throughought the surface characterization techniques, the proposed adsorption mechanisms were electrostatic interaction, π-π EDA interaction, pore filling and hydrogen bonding. Moreover, not only algal biochars exhibited innovative and potential adsorbent for rapid and effective remediate pollution from water, but combination of algal biomass and ZnCl2 activator also created renewable source of energy from biomass pyrolysis.

Abstract
Antibiotics are challenging to degrade and are excreted by livestock which results in environmental pollution. In this paper, we demonstrated that environmentally friendly manure bioremediation performed by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) is a wise alternative, which could effectively degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP) by approached 85.48% in artificial diet and 84.22% in poultry manure within 12 days. They are up to 2.5-4.0 fold more than that achieved by natural fermentation. The five CIP-degrading strains were isolated from the larval gut, two of which, named by Klebsiella pneumoniae BSFLG-CIP1 and Proteus mirabilis BSFLG-CIP5, could degraded CIP by nearly 98.22% and 97.83% in vitro, respectively. When the intestinal isolates were re-inoculated to sterile BSFL system, the degradation level significantly increased up to 82.38%, comparing with the sterile BSFL system (21.76%). It is proved that the larvae intestinal microbiota might carry out this highly-efficient CIP-degradation. Furthermore, seven possible metabolites were identified for CIP-degradation in vitro, and they were referring three main potential degrading mechanisms of hydroxylize, piperazine ring substitute and cleavage, and quinoline ring cleavage. In conclusion, the present study may provide a strategy to reduce antibiotics pollution in animal waste through bioremediation with BSFL and adjusted intestinal microbes.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP), as a common antibiotic used in human clinical and livestock farming, is discharged into natural water bodies and its concentration has increased in the last years. Its stable chemical structure is difficult to remove by conventional techniques. Residual ciprofloxacin in the environment has become an emerging micropollutant that promotes the generation of resistance genes of bacteria and endangers ecosystem balance and human health. Removal of ciprofloxacin from water by the system of ultrasound/electric field/sodium persulfate (US/E/PS) was investigated. Firstly, CIP degradation affects by different oxidation methods, such as ultrasonic oxidation, electro-oxidation, and persulfate oxidation, and their four combined oxidation methods (ultrasound-activated persulfate oxidation, electro-activated persulfate oxidation, ultrasound-enhanced electro-oxidation, and ultrasound-enhanced electro-activated persulfate oxidation), on the target contaminants were compared. Secondly, the influences of parameters on the CIP degradation by an ultrasound-enhanced electro-activation-persulfate reaction system were investigated. Thirdly, the possible free radical species in the ultrasound-enhanced electro-activation-sulfate reaction system were identified and the dominant free radical species in the system were analyzed. Finally, the samples of CIP in the US/E/PS system were tested by liquid mass spectrometry, and the possible intermediate products and degradation path were speculated. The results indicate that the US/E/PS system is of great potential application value in the removal of organic pollution and environmental purification.

Gou Y, Peng L, Xu H, Li S, Liu C, Wu X, Song S, Yang C, Song K, Xu Y. Insights into the degradation mechanisms and pathways of cephalexin during homogeneous and heterogeneous photo-Fenton processes. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 285:131417. [PMID: 34246101 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The widespread occurrence of antibiotics in the environment poses a potential threat to human health. The photo-Fenton process has demonstrated better degradation performance compared with the conventional wastewater treatment processes. In this study, the degradation of cephalexin was evaluated comparatively by homogeneous (Fe2+/H2O2/UV) and heterogeneous (MoS2@Fe/H2O2/UV) photo-Fenton processes. Key influencing factors affecting photo-Fenton performance were assessed, confirming the optimum Fe2+ concentration at 0.2016 mg L-1 and H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio at 6. Higher degradation efficiency (73.10%) and pseudo-first-order degradation rate constant (0.0078 min-1) were achieved with the assistance of MoS2@Fe as the heterogeneous catalyst. Completely different degradation products were identified in the homogeneous and heterogeneous photo-Fenton processes, with main degradation pathways proposed as β-lactam ring-opening, sulfoxide formation, demethylation, N-dealkylation, decarbonylation, hydroxylation and deamination in the Fe2+/H2O2/UV system and β-lactam ring-opening, hydroxylation, dehydration, amide hydrolysis, and demethylation and ring contraction in the MoS2@Fe/H2O2/UV system, respectively. The formation of newly identified products might root in the attack on cephalexin from active species (i.e., OH, h+, e-, O2-) photoinduced by the MoS2@Fe catalyst. Results also indicated the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms and pathways to eliminate the antimicrobial activities of antibiotics in the future.

Abstract
High industrialization and improved medical facilities are deteriorating aquatic bodies through untreated effluents. This study is aimed to design and characterize the bentonite, Duranta erecta, and their hybrid-alginate beads for the removal of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) from its aqueous solution. D. erecta's seed powder was treated by using a sonochemical method and embedded into alginate beads. All designed beads were characterized by using physicochemical methods, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Hybrid beads were found to form an appropriate hydrogel structure with maximum surface area per unit gram (544 cm2 g-1), 0.42 mg dry weight, and 2.70 mm diameter. Kinetics and intraparticle diffusion models were fitted where involvement of both chemisorption and intraparticle diffusion was observed during the initial 30 and post-30-min phase, respectively. Thermodynamic studies corroborated the spontaneity of the CTAB adsorption process. Bentonite alginate beads showed the highest adsorption capacity of 97.06 mg g-1 in 100 mg L-1 CTAB solution at optimized conditions, while hybrid-alginate beads showed excellent efficiency with a wide range of physicochemical conditions frame. Conclusively, designed beads can be used to remove the surfactant, i.e., CTAB, from industrial waste effluents for the betterment of water reservoirs.

Abstract
The promising solar irradiated photocatalyst by pairing of bismuth oxide quantum dots (BQDs) doped TiO2 with nitrogen doped graphene oxide (NGO) nanocomposite (NGO/BQDs-TiO2) was fabricated. It was used for degradation of organic pollutants like 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and stable dyes, i.e. Rhodamine B and Congo Red. X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile of NGO showed reduction in oxygenic functional groups and restoring of graphitic crystal structure. The characteristic diffraction peaks of TiO2 and its composites showed crystalline anatase TiO2. Morphological images represent spherical shaped TiO2 evenly covered with BQDs spread on NGO sheet. The surface linkages of NO-O-Ti, C-O-Ti, Bi-O-Ti and vibrational modes are observed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman studies. BQDs and NGO modified TiO2 results into red shifting in visible region as studied in diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). NGO and BQDs in TiO2 are linked with defect centers which reduced the recombination of free charge carriers by quenching of photoluminescence (PL) intensities. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that no peak related to C-O in NGO/BQDs-TiO2 is observed. This indicated that doping of nitrogen into GO has reduced some oxygen functional groups. Nitrogen functionalities in NGO and photosensitizing effect of BQDs in ternary composite have improved photocatalytic activity against organic pollutants. Intermediate byproducts during photo degradation process of 2,4-DCP were studied through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Study of radical scavengers indicated that O2·- has significant role for degradation of 2,4-DCP. Our investigations propose that fabricated nanohybrid architecture has potential for degradation of environmental pollutions.

Abstract
In the present work, the Fe-MIL(100) was encapsulated on the outer surface of magnetic g-C3N4 through a simple method to synthesize a novel adsorbent. The as-prepared g-C3N4/MnFe2O4/Fe-MIL(100) was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), BET specific surface area (BET), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and plasma emission spectrometry (PES). The g-C3N4/MnFe2O4/Fe-MIL(100) possessed rough surface, large surface area (303.68 m2/g), mesoporous structure and magnetic properties, which exhibited excellent adsorption performance for ciprofloxacin (CIP), oxytetracycline (OTC) and indomethacin (IDM) with the maximum adsorption capacities reaching up to 45.51, 64.34 and 103.91 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption processes of all three PPCPs could be described by different kinds of isotherms and kinetic models. Additionally, the adsorption capacity of the resulting adsorbent could maintain 73.43% of the first adsorption capacity even after ten cycles. Finally, the possible adsorption mechanisms of g-C3N4/MnFe2O4/Fe-MIL(100) for CIP/OTC/IDM were proposed. Thus, g-C3N4/MnFe2O4/Fe-MIL(100) possessed excellent features of high adsorption capacity, fast removal rate, easy synthesis, salt resistance and magnetic separation, which showed great potential application to be used as an effective adsorbent for adsorptive removal of PPCPs in wastewater.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are frequently detected in the environment causing potential hazards to ecological and human health. Inadequate removal efficiencies were reported for fluoroquinolones during conventional wastewater treatment processes whereas the application of photo-Fenton reactions has attracted much attention due to their high reaction rate. This article summarizes the recent proceedings on homogeneous and heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of fluoroquinolones. Degradation efficiencies of fluoroquinolones were discussed as well as rate constants for a distinct comparison. The influences of initial fluoroquinolone concentration, H2O2, Fe2+, pH and temperature were also investigated on homogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of fluoroquinolones. The currently applied heterogenous catalysts were considered including iron oxides catalysts, iron-based composite catalysts and iron-based semiconductor. In addition, the degradation pathways for typical fluoroquinolones were proposed with the products identified in the literature. The results indicated the better performance with the aid of heterogeneous catalysts due to the generation of more active species. Intermediate products at smaller molecular weight were obtained through various types of pathways under heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of fluoroquinolones, implying a practical application with biological treatment processes for fully mineralization.

Abstract
Few-layer two-dimensional (2D) Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets with a thickness of 4-5 nm were successfully fabricated via electrochemical exfoliation, followed by an exposure to ambient conditions. The formation process for these nanosheets was explored through ex situ X-ray diffractometer. The photocatalytic capacity of 2D Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets was investigated towards the degradation of ciprofloxacin. It was shown that 2D Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets exhibited better catalytic performance than Bi2O2CO3 nanoparticles synthesized by hydrothermal method under UV-Vis light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is due to the larger specific surface area, as well as the lower band gap. Additionally, the radical trap experiments demonstrate that holes and hydroxyl radicals are of great importance in the degradation of ciprofloxacin. Finally, the 2D Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets show high stability in the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin, and could have a prospective application in the treatment of antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
Synthetic manganese porphyrins (MnPs), in the presence of oxidants, were employed for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and levofloxacin (LEV) degradation by iodosylbenzene, iodobenzene diacetate, H2O2 and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid using water-soluble MnP catalysts yielded thirteen and nine products, respectively, seven of which have been proposed for the first time. The MnP catalysts have demonstrated the ability to degrade these antibiotics to a high degree (up to 100% degradation). The structures of the degradation products were proposed based on mass spectrometry analysis, and density functional theory calculations could confirm how the substituent moieties attached to the basic chemical structure of the fluoroquinolones influence the degradation reactions. CIP has been shown to be a more reactive substrate towards the porphyrinic catalysts tested because of its three-membered ring. However, the catalysts could almost completely degrade LEV, highlighting the ability of these porphyrins to act as catalysts to degrade environmental pollutants.

Abstract
The degradation of enrofloxacin (ENR) by direct photolysis, Fenton and solar photo-Fenton processes has been studied in different water matrices, such as ultra-pure water (MQ), tap water (TW) and highly saline water (SW). Reactions have been conducted at initial pH 2.8 and 5.0. At pH = 2.8, HPLC analyses showed a fast removal of ENR by (solar photo)-Fenton treatments in all studied water matrices, whereas a 40% removal was observed after 120 min of photolysis. However, TOC measurements showed that only solar photo-Fenton was able to produce significant mineralization (80% after 120 min of treatment); differences between ENR removal and mineralization can be attributed to the release of important amounts of reaction by-products. Excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) combined with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) were employed to gain further insight into the nature of these by-products and their time-course profile, obtaining a 5-component model. EEM-PARAFAC results indicated that photolysis is not able to produce important changes in the fluoroquinolone structure, in sharp contrast with (solar photo)-Fenton, where decrease of the components associated with fluoroquinolone core was observed. Agar diffusion tests employing E. coli and S, aureus showed that the antibiotic activity decreased in parallel with the destruction of the fluoroquinolone core.

Abstract
Fenton processes are promising wastewater treatment alternatives for bio-recalcitrant compounds. Three different methods (i.e., reverse microemulsion, sol-gel, and combustion) were designed to synthesize environmentally friendly ferrites as magnetically recoverable catalysts to be applied for the decomposition of two pharmaceuticals (ciprofloxacin and carbamazepine) that are frequently detected in water bodies. The catalysts were used in a heterogeneous solar photo-Fenton treatment to save the cost of applying high-energy UV radiation sources, and was performed under a slightly basic pH to avoid metal leaching and adding salts for pH adjustment. All the developed catalysts resulted in the effective treatment of ciprofloxacin and carbamazepine in both synthetic and real domestic wastewater. In particular, the sol-gel synthesized ferrite was more magnetic and more suitable for reuse. The degradation pathways of both compounds were elucidated for this treatment. The degradation of ciprofloxacin involved attacks to the quinolone and piperazine rings. The degradation pathway of carbamazepine involved the formation of hydroxyl carbamazepine and dihydroxy carbamazepine before yielding acridine by hydrogen abstraction, decarboxylation, and amine cleavage, which would be further oxidized.

Abstract
In this work, the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the removal of antibiotics from water has been reviewed. The present concern about water has been exposed, and the main problems derived from the presence of emerging pollutants have been analyzed. Photolysis processes, ozone-based AOPs including ozonation, O3/UV, O3/H2O2, and O3/H2O2/UV, hydrogen peroxide-based methods (i.e., H2O2/UV, Fenton, Fenton-like, hetero-Fenton, and photo-Fenton), heterogeneous photocatalysis (TiO2/UV and TiO2/H2O2/UV systems), and sonochemical and electrooxidative AOPs have been reviewed. The main challenges and prospects of AOPs, as well as some recommendations for the improvement of AOPs aimed at the removal of antibiotics from wastewaters, are pointed out.
