JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133167. [PMID: 38064946 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133167] [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: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
Fungal infections pose a significant global health burden, resulting in millions of severe cases and deaths annually. The escalating demand for effective antifungal treatments has led to a rise in the wholesale distribution of antifungal drugs, which consequently has led to their release into the environment, posing a threat to ecosystems and human health. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the presence and distribution of antifungal drugs in the environment, evaluate their potential ecological and health risks, and assess current methods for their removal. Reviewed studies from 2010 to 2023 period have revealed the widespread occurrence of 19 various antifungals in natural waters and other matrices at alarmingly high concentrations. Due to the inefficiency of conventional water treatment in removing these compounds, advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, and adsorption techniques have been developed as promising decontamination methods.In conclusion, this review emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of the presence, fate, and removal of antifungal drugs in the environment. By addressing the current knowledge gaps and exploring future prospects, this study contributes to the development of strategies for mitigating the environmental impact of antifungal drugs and protecting ecosystems and human health.

Selective removal of sulfamethoxazole by a novel double Z-scheme photocatalyst: Preferential recognition and degradation mechanism. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ECOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 17:100308. [PMID: 37701858 PMCID: PMC10494317 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2023.100308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023]
Abstract
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a significant environmental concern due to its adverse effects and ecological risks. SMX elimination in aquatic environments via photocatalysis presents a viable solution, given its high oxidation potential. However, such a solution remains controversial, primarily due to a lack of selectivity. Here we introduce a molecularly imprinted TiO2@Fe2O3@g-C3N4 (MFTC) photocatalyst designed for the selective degradation of SMX. To assess MFTC's selectivity, we applied it to degrade synthetic wastewater containing SMX alongside interfering species sulfadiazine (SDZ), ibuprofen (IBU), and bisphenol A (BPA). The results demonstrated a selective degradation efficiency rate of 96.8%, nearly twice that of competing pollutants. The molecularly imprinted sites within the catalyst played a crucial role by selectively capturing SMX and enhancing its adsorption, thereby improving catalytic efficiency. The degradation process involved •OH and •O2- free radicals, with a newly proposed double Z-scheme mechanism and potential pathway for SMX degradation by the MFTC photocatalytic system. This study enriches the application of photocatalysis using molecularly imprinted nanocomposite materials for treating complex pollutant mixtures in water.

Abstract
Among the various emerging contaminants, pharmaceuticals (PhACs) seem to have adverse effects on the quality of water. Even the smallest concentration of PhACs in ground water and drinking water is harmful to humans and aquatic species. Among all the deaths reported due to COVID-19, the mortality rate was higher for those patients who consumed antibiotics. Consequently, PhAC in water is a serious concern and their removal needs immediate attention. This study has focused on the PhACs' degradation by collaborating photocatalysis with membrane filtration. TiO2-based photocatalytic membrane is an innovative strategy which demonstrates mineralization of PhACs as a safer option. To highlight the same, an emphasis on the preparation and reinforcing properties of TiO2-based nanomembranes has been elaborated in this review. Further, mineralization of antibiotics or cytostatic compounds and their degradation mechanisms is also highlighted using TiO2 assisted membrane photocatalysis. Experimental reactor configurations have been discussed for commercial implementation of photoreactors for PhAC degradation anchored photocatalytic nanomembranes. Challenges and future perspectives are emphasized in order to design a nanomembrane based prototype in future for wastewater management.

Abstract
Contamination of the environment has been a growing problem in recent years. Due to the rapid growth in human population, the expansion of cities, along with the development of industry, more and more dangerous chemicals end up in the environment, especially in soil and water. For the most part, it is not possible to effectively remove chemicals through traditional remediation techniques, because those used in treatment plants are not specifically designed for this purpose. Therefore, new approaches for water remediation are in great demand. Many efforts have been focused on applications of photocatalysis for the remediation of chemical pollutants including drugs. Titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles have particularly been considered as potential photocatalysts due to their favorable properties. In this article, we present the problem of emerging contaminants including drugs and discuss the use of photocatalysts based on titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles for their degradation. A wide selection of materials, starting from bare TiO2, via its hybrid and composite materials, are discussed including those based on carbonaceous materials or connections with macrocyclic structures. Examples of photodegradation experiments on TiO2-based materials including those performed with various active pharmaceutical ingredients are also included.

Abstract
Efficient removal of low-concentration refractory pollutants is a crucial problem to ensuring water safety. The use of heterogeneous catalysis of molecular imprinting technology combined with traditional catalysts is a promising method to improve removal efficiency. Presently, the research into molecular imprinting targeting catalysts focuses mainly on material preparation and performance optimization. However, more researchers are investigating other applications of imprinting materials. This review provides recent progress in photocatalyst preparation, electrocatalyst, and Fenton-like catalysts synthesized by molecular imprinting. The principle and control points of target catalysts prepared by precipitation polymerization (PP) and surface molecular imprinting (S-MIP) are introduced. Also, the application of imprinted catalysts in targeted degradation of drugs, pesticides, environmental hormones, and other refractory pollutants is summarized. In addition, the reusability and stability of imprinted catalyst in water treatment are discussed, and the possible ecotoxicity risk is analyzed. Finally, we appraised the prospects, challenges, and opportunities of imprinted catalysts in the advanced oxidation process. This paper provides a reference for the targeted degradation of refractory pollutants and the preparation of targeted catalysts.

Abstract
In the paper, molecularly imprinted TiO2 was prepared by surface molecularly imprinted technology and liquid phase deposition method for preferential removal of persistent toxic pollutants from complex environmental water. Diclofenac was selected as the template molecule and target for photodegradation study. The characterization results of SEM, TEM, FTIR and XRD showed that the TiO2 film with imprinted diclofenac was successfully synthesized on the surface of TiO2 particles. Meanwhile, the adsorption and photodegradation experiments also indicated that the molecularly imprinted TiO2 had larger adsorption capacity, better selectivity and higher photodegradation performance for diclofenac than non-imprinted TiO2. The primary active species and degradation pathways during photodegradation process were also elucidated according to radical capture experiments and UPLC-MS-TOF technology. The prepared molecularly imprinted TiO2 has the advantages of efficient removal ability, high stability and environmental protection, so it has a wide application value in water treatment and water environmental restoration, especially when involved persistent toxic pollutants.

Abstract
The rapid development of industrialization and urbanization results in a numerous production of various organic chemicals to meet the increasing demand in high-quality life. During the synthesis and utilization of these chemical products, their residues unavoidably emerged in environments to severely threaten human's health. It is thus urgent to exploit effective technology for readily removing the organic pollutants with high selectivity and good reusability. As one of the most promising approaches, molecular imprinting technology (MIT) employs a chemically synthetic route to construct artificial recognition sites in highly-crosslinked matrix with complementary cavity and functional groups to target species, which have been attracting more and more interest for environmental remediation, such as the selective adsorption/separation and improved catalytic degradation of pollutants. In this review, MIT is first introduced briefly to understand their preparing process, recognition mechanism and common imprinted systems. Then, their specific binding affinities are demonstrated for selectively adsorbing and removing target molecules with a large capacity. Furthermore, the innovative utilization of MIT in catalytic eradication of pollutants is comprehensively overviewed to emphasize their enhanced efficiency and improved performances, which are classified by the used catalytically-active nanocrystals and imprinted systems. After summarizing recent advances in these fields, some limitations are discussed and possible suggestions are given to guide the future exploitation on MIT for environmental protection.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and selective long-period grating (LPG) fiber-optic sensors modified with molecularly imprinted TiO2 nanothin films were fabricated. The films were deposited onto the surface of the optical fiber via liquid-phase deposition (LPD), using tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (TMPyP) as a template. Three LPG resonance bands were monitored during film deposition, which was of duration 4.5 h. Prior to template removal, heat treatment at 60 °C under high-humidity conditions led to an increase in refractive index of the TiO2 film, evidenced by changes in the central wavelengths of the attenuation bands. After template removal using HCl solution (0.01 M), the TMPyP-imprinted film-modified LPG sensor showed higher sensitivity to the template molecule than to structurally related guest molecules. This was measured at the 1st and 2nd resonance bands, with wavelengths ranging from 690 to 738 nm and 815 to 905 nm, respectively. No selective binding of the template was observed with a non-imprinted TiO2 film prepared in the same manner. Furthermore, the heat-treated imprinted films exhibited a substantial enhancement of photocatalytic activity for template irradiation. In particular, the self-cleaning property of the imprinted film-modified LPG sensor under ultraviolet irradiation led to highly efficient and selective binding to the template. The mechanism of the interaction between the template and the TiO2 matrix was investigated by UV-vis and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. Additionally, morphological studies using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
In order to achieve strong specific recognition and remarkable synergy between adsorption and photocatalysis, carbon nanosheets supported TiO2 (CT) was designed and embellished by molecular imprinting technology with ciprofloxacin (CIP) as template. The molecular imprinted CT (CT-MI) product exhibited remarkable synergy of adsorption-photocatalysis and high selectivity in both aspects, benefitted from specific recognition of imprinted layer, strong carbon adsorption and electroconductivity, and enhanced photocatalysis. Compared to the competitive pollutant, sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) in this study, selectivity coefficient was 7.2 for adsorption and 3.2 for photocatalysis, respectively. This is superior to most of the imprinted photocatalysts reported in the literature. In addition, effect of mass ratio between TiO2 matrix to imprinted polymers, as well as water quality and composition, to the performance of final product was studied and favorable conditions were proposed. Electron transfer mode, selective recognition mode, and antibiotics degradation mechanism and pathways were also illustrated based on trapping experiments and HPLC-MS technology etc. This study confirmed that alliance between molecular imprinting, carbon nanosheets and well dispersed photocatalyst possessed broad prospect of applications in specific recognition and selective degradation of a highly toxic pollutant in a variety of mixed systems.

Selective removal and persulfate catalytic decomposition of diethyl phthalate from contaminated water on modified MIL100 through surface molecular imprinting. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 240:124875.

Abstract
Adsorptive removal of phthalate esters from wastewater combined with their persulfate (PS) catalytic degradation has attracted the attention of many researchers. In this study, the adsorptive and catalytic properties of an MIL100 material obtained by a green synthetic route have been optimized by a surface molecular imprinting technique. Results have shown that there are two steps in the molecular imprinting process. A polymerization is first carried out in the internal channels of the material and the imprinting layer is then formed on the surface. The relative proportions of the starting materials for the synthesis have been optimized through the design of a three-dimensional response surface. The amount of pollutant adsorbed was increased fourfold after surface imprinting, reaching 13.6 mg g-1. The homogeneity of the recognition sites has been evaluated by dynamics calculations and the Freundlich equation. The selective adsorption ability of the material for diethyl phthalate was improved, and the process involved chemical adsorption. The catalytic properties of the material after imprinting were increased about 1.5-fold, indicating that selective adsorption is important. Such molecularly imprinted polymers may potentially serve as good functional materials for the removal of phthalate esters from wastewater.

Altering fiber density of cockscomb-like fibrous silica-titania catalysts for enhanced photodegradation of ibuprofen. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2018; 227:34-43. [PMID: 30172157 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2018.08.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2018] [Revised: 08/05/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Fibrous silica-titania (FST) catalysts were synthesized by microemulsion followed by silica seed-crystal crystallization methods under various molar ratios of toluene to water (T/W). The catalysts were characterized by XRD, UV-DRS, FESEM, TEM, AFM, N2 adsorption-desorption, FTIR, and ESR. The results revealed that altering the T/W ratio affected the growth of the silica and titania and led to different size, fiber density, silica-titania structure, and number of hydroxyl groups, as well as oxygen vacancies in the FSTs, which altered their behavior toward subsequent application. Photodegradation of ibuprofen (IBP) are in the following order: FST(6:1) (90%) > FST(5:1) (84%) > FST(7:1) (79%) > commercial TiO2 (67%). A kinetics study using Langmuir-Hinshelwood model illustrated that the photodegradation followed the pseudo-first-order and adsorption was the rate-limiting step. Optimization by response surface methodology (RSM) showed that the pH, initial concentration, and catalyst dosage were the remarkable parameters in photodegradation of IBP. The FST (6:1) maintained its photocatalytic activities for up to five cycles reaction without serious catalyst deactivation, and was also able to degrade other endocrine-disrupting chemicals, indicating its potential use for the treatment of those chemicals in wastewater.

Abstract
A novel magnetic polymer-ZnO composite was prepared by incorporating Fe3O4 and ZnO nano-particles in the structure of an adsorbent polymer. Precipitation polymerization was used for synthesizing the adsorbent polymer and its efficiency for extracting doxycycline from aqueous solution was optimized according to several parameters including time, pH and amount of polymer. Results showed the highest extraction efficiency at neutral pH of the doxycycline solution in 20 min, and the capacity of the polymer was about 20 mg/g. The magnetic property of a material is important for fast and facile separation of composite particles after each use. Magnetic polymer-ZnO composite was synthesized by adding Fe3O4 and ZnO nano-particles to the polymerization mixture in order to take advantage of both sorption and photocatalytic degradation mechanisms. The obtained composite was characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and used for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of doxycycline in aqueous solution. Results showed 76.5% degradation of doxycycline in 6 hours which was significantly higher than the degradation observed by an equivalent amount of ZnO nano-particles. Photocatalytic degradation of doxycycline fitted the pseudo first order kinetic model with a rate constant of 4 × 10-3 μg mL-1 min-1.

Abstract
The photolytic and photocatalytic transformation of tandospirone with the use of TiO2 and H2O2 was investigated. A micro-scale method for simultaneous irradiation with simulated full solar spectrum of multiple samples in photostability chamber was proposed. RP-UHPLC-DAD coupled with ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometer was used for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the processes. The developed method was fully validated and the kinetic parameters of tandospirone photodegradation were compared. The structures of eighteen photoproducts as well as phototransformation pathways were proposed. Based on the elucidated structures, computational toxicity assessment with the use of various software was performed and most of the photoproducts were found as less or similarly toxic to the parent compound. Nevertheless, several products, including one of the drug main metabolites, were significantly more toxic than the parent drug. The multivariate chemometric method (principal component analysis) was used to compare the toxicity of phototransformation products as well as the toxicity of the assessment methods.
