ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:47674-47689. [PMID: 39002079 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-34192-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
A novel integrated removal strategy was developed to enhance the concurrent elimination of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), oxytetracycline (OTC), and enrofloxacin (ENR) from the aqueous environments. The underlying adsorption mechanisms of spent mushroom substrate (SMSB) and the Herbaspirillum huttiense strain (HHS1), and their efficacy in removing Cu, Zn, OTC, and ENR was also examined. Results showed that the SMSB-HHS1 composite stabilized 29.86% of Cu and 49.75% of Zn and achieved removal rates of 97.95% for OTC and 59.35% for ENR through a combination of chemisorption and biodegradation. Zinc did not affect Cu adsorption, and ENR did not impact the adsorption of OTC on SMSB. However, the co-presence of OTC and ENR modified the adsorption behaviors of both Cu and Zn. Copper and Zn enhanced the adsorption of OTC and ENR by serving as bridging agents, facilitating the interaction between the contaminants and SMSB. Conversely, OTC and ENR inhibited the adsorption process of Cu by obstructing its interaction with the SMSB and occupying the oxygen-containing functional groups. The ‒OH (3415 cm-1) and C-O-C (1059 cm-1) functional groups were identified as the principal active sites to form hydrogen bonds and interact with Cu and Zn, leading to the formation of CuP4O11 and Zn4CO3(OH)6H2O. HHS1 also enhanced antibiotic removal through biodegradation, as evidenced by the decrease of ‒C‒O and increase of ‒C = O groups. This study underscores the innovative potential of the SMSB-HHS1 composite, offering a sustainable approach to addressing multifaceted pollution challenges in the aquatic environments.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2024; 183:132-142. [PMID: 38744165 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2024.05.003] [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: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Vancomycin fermentation residue (VFR) is a by-product of the pharmaceutical industry with high ecotoxicity caused by the residual antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and heavy metals (HMs). In this study, the detoxification effect of hydrothermal treatment (HT) and pyrolysis for VFR was assessed using chemical analysis and toxicity tests. When VFR was subjected to HT and pyrolysis at ≥400 °C, more than 99.70 % of the residual vancomycin and all ARGs were removed. The HMs contents in VFR followed the order of manganese (676.2 mg/kg) > zinc (148.6 mg/kg) > chromium (25.40 mg/kg) > copper (17.20 mg/kg), and they were highly bioavailable and easily leached. However, HT and pyrolysis (≥400 °C) substantially reduced the bioavailable fractions and leaching properties of the HMs. After HT and pyrolysis at ≥ 400 °C, the potential ecological risk of HMs in VFR was reduced from considerable to moderate/low levels. The elutriate acute toxicity test suggested that HT and pyrolysis at ≥ 400 °C effectively reduced the toxicity of VFR to an acceptable level (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that HT and pyrolysis (≥400 °C) are promising methods for treating VFR and detoxifying it, and the treated products are safe for further reutilization.

Abstract
Antibiotic mycelial dreg (AMD) has been categorized as hazardous waste due to the high residual hazardous contaminants. Inappropriate management and disposal of AMD can cause potential environmental and ecological risks. In this study, the potential of pleuromutilin mycelial dreg (PMD) as a novel feedstock for preparing tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) adsorbent was explored to achieve safe management of PMD. The results suggested that residual hazardous contaminants were completely eliminated after pyrolysis. With the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the yields, H/C, O/C, (O + N)/C, and pore size in PMD-derived biochars (PMD-BCs) decreased, while BET surface area and pore volume increased, resulting in the higher stability of the PMD-BCs prepared from higher temperatures. The TC adsorption of the PMD-BCs increased from 27.3 to 46.9 mg/g with the increase of the pyrolysis temperature. Surprisingly, pH value had a strong impact on the TC adsorption, the adsorption capacity of BC-450 increased from 6.5 to 71.1 mg/g when the solution pH value increased from 2 to 10. Lewis acid-base interaction, pore filling, π-π interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and charge-assisted hydrogen bond (CAHB) are considered to drive the adsorption. This work provides a novel pathway for the concurrent detoxification and reutilization of AMD.

Abstract
Biodegradation is an efficient and cost-effective approach to remove residual penicillin G sodium (PGNa) from the environment. In this study, the effective PGNa-degrading strain SQW1 (Sphingobacterium sp.) was screened from contaminated soil using enrichment technique. The effects of critical operational parameters on PGNa degradation by strain SQW1 were systematically investigated, and these parameters were optimized by response surface methodology to maximize PGNa degradation. Comparative experiments found the extracellular enzyme to completely degrade PGNa within 60 min. Combined with whole genome sequencing of strain SQW1 and LC-MS analysis of degradation products, penicillin acylase and β-lactamase were identified as critical enzymes for PGNa biodegradation. Moreover, three degradation pathways were postulated, including β-lactam hydrolysis, penicillin acylase hydrolysis, decarboxylation, desulfurization, demethylation, oxidative dehydrogenation, hydroxyl reduction, and demethylation reactions. The toxicity of PGNa biodegradation intermediates was assessed using paper diffusion method, ECOSAR, and TEST software, which showed that the biodegradation products had low toxicity. This study is the first to describe PGNa-degrading bacteria and detailed degradation mechanisms, which will provide new insights into the PGNa biodegradation.

Safe utilization of bioresources in gentamicin mycelial residues by thermal treatment: Antibiotic degradation, resistance gene inactivation and available nutrients promotion.

Abstract
Gentamicin mycelium residues (GMRs) abundant in organic substances were generated during the production of gentamicin. Inappropriate handling techniques not only waste valuable resources, they could also result in residual gentamicin into the natural environment, leading to the generation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which would cause a significant threat to ecological system and human health. In the present work, the effects of thermal treatment on the removal of residual gentamicin in GMRs, as well as the changes of associated ARGs abundance, antimicrobial activity and bioresources properties were investigated. The results indicated that the hazards of GMRs was significantly reduced through thermal treatment. The degradation rate of residual gentamicin in GMRs reached 100 %, the total abundance of gentamicin resistance genes declined from 8.20 to 1.14 × 10-5 and the antibacterial activity of the decomposition products of GMRs on Vibrio fischeri was markedly reduced at 200 °C for 120 min. Additionally, the thermal treatment remarkably influenced the bioresource properties of GMRs-decomposition products. The release of soluble organic matters including soluble carbohydrates and soluble proteins have been enhanced in GMRs, while excessively high temperatures could lead to a reduction of nutrient substances. Generally, thermal treatment technology was a promising strategy for synergistic reducing hazards and utilizing bioresources of GMRs.

Abstract
Pyrolysis is a promising method to treat antibiotic fermentation residue (AFR), a hazardous waste in China, with the benefits of detoxification and resource recycling. However, the application of the AFR-derived biochar has been limited yet, restricting the use of pyrolysis to treat AFR. Herein, for the first time, we reported the use of magnetic biochars derived from vancomycin fermentation residue to rapidly and efficiently co-adsorb multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water with complex matrices. The biochar prepared at 700 °C (labeled as VBC700) exhibited high affinity and selectivity for multiple heavy metals, especially for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II). The kinetics for Ag(I), Hg(II), and Pb(II) were ultrafast with an equilibrium time of only 5 min, while those for Cu(II) were relatively slower. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) reached 177.4, 105.9, 387.1, 124.5 mg/g, respectively, which were superior to much previously reported adsorbents. Impressively, Na(I), K(I), Ca(II), Mg(II), and salinity did not affect the capture of these heavy metals, and thus >99% of Ag(I), Pb(II), and Cu(II) were concurrently removed from complex water matrices including seawater, which has rarely been reported before. Furthermore, VBC700 remained high adsorption performance at pH ≥ 3. The adsorption mechanisms included ion exchange, precipitation, and inner-sphere complexation. Overall, the results demonstrate that VBC700 would be an excellent adsorbent to co-capture multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water, highlighting the feasibility of using pyrolysis to achieve a win-win goal for AFR management and heavy metal pollution control.

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
In this study, Fe conversion during hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of coking sludge were investigated, and the effect mechanism of Fe component on the adsorption performance of coking sludge hydrochar (CHC) was explored. The results showed that after HTC treatment, more than 95 % of Fe remained in the CHC. Fe3+ was reduced to Fe2+ by sugar and amino acids. Fe was stabilized during the HTC process and was still predominantly in the Fe manganese oxidation state. The CHC prepared at 270 °C exhibited excellent adsorption capacities for Congo red (CR), tetracycline (TC), and Cr (VI). Their maximum adsorption capacities were 140.85, 147.06, and 19.92 mg/g, respectively. Quantitative adsorption mechanism experiments, XRD and VSM characterization revealed that Fe component played a significant role in adsorption, and CHC with more Fe3O4 exhibited better adsorption capacity. The results of the XPS characterization of CHC before and after adsorption showed that Fe3O4 provided rich Fe adsorption sites on the surface of CHC to strengthen the adsorption efficiency of pollutants through Fe3+/Fe2+ reduction and complexation of Fe-O/N. In addition, the formed Fe3O4 also imparted CHC with magnetic properties (Ms = 4.12 emu/g) to facilitate the subsequent separation and recovery. These results demonstrated that the prepared CHC has great potential for treating actual wastewater containing CR and TC.

Abstract
It is of great environmental benefit to rationally dispose of and utilize antibiotic fermentation residues. In this study, oxytetracycline fermentation residue was transformed into an in-situ nitrogen-doped nanoporous carbon material with high CO2 adsorption performance by low-temperature pyrolysis pre-carbonization coupled with pyrolytic activation. The results indicated the activation under mild conditions (600 °C, KOH/OC = 2) was able to increase micropores and reduce the loss of in-situ nitrogen content. The developed microporous structure was beneficial for the filling adsorption of CO2, and the in-situ nitrogen doping in a high oxygen-containing carbon framework also strengthened the electrostatic adsorption with CO2. The maximum CO2 adsorption reached 4.38 mmol g-1 and 6.40 mmol g-1 at 25 °C and 0 °C (1 bar), respectively, with high CO2/N2 selectivity (32/1) and excellent reusability (decreased by 4% after 5 cycles). This study demonstrates the good application potential of oxytetracycline fermentation residue as in-situ nitrogen-doped nanoporous carbon materials for CO2 capture.

Abstract
With the widespread use of antibiotics, the safe utilization of waste antibiotic fermentation residues has become an urgent issue to be resolved. In this study, in situ N, O co-doped porous carbon was prepared using fresh oxytetracycline fermentation residue under the mild activation of the green activator K2CO3. The optimal sample exhibited a 3D grid carbon skeleton structure, excellent specific surface area (SBET = 948 m2 g-1), and high nitrogen and oxygen content (N = 3.42 wt%, O = 14.86 wt%). Benefiting from its developed morphology, this sample demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance with a high specific capacitance of 310 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 in the three-electrode system. Moreover, it exhibited superior cycling stability with only a 5.32% loss of capacity after 10 000 cycles in 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte. Furthermore, the symmetric supercapacitor prepared from it exhibited a maximum energy density of 7.2 W h kg-1 at a power density of 124.9 W kg-1, demonstrating its promising application prospects. This study provided a green and facile process for the sustainable and harmless treatment of antibiotic fermentation residues.

Fenton oxidation treatment of oxytetracycline fermentation residues: Harmless performance and bioresource properties. CHEMOSPHERE 2023:139201.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical factories of oxytetracycline (OTC) massively produce OTC fermentation residues (OFRs). The high content of residual OTC and antibiotic resistance genes in OFRs must to be considered and controlled at an acceptable level. This study therefore investigated the applicability of Fenton oxidation in OTC degradation and resistant gene inactivation of OFRs. The results revealed that Fe2+ as catalyzer could very rapidly activate H2O2 to produce HO•, leading to instantaneous degradation of OTC. The optimum conditions for OTC removal were 60 mM H2O2 and 140 mg/L Fe2+ under pH 7. After Fenton oxidation treatment, the release of water-soluble polysaccharides, NO3-N, and PO4-P was enhanced, whereas for proteins and NH3-N were reduced. Three soluble fluorescence components (humic, tryptophan-like, and humic acid-like substances) were identified through fluorescence spectra with parallel factor analysis, and their reduction exceeded 50% after Fenton oxidation. There were twelve intermediates and three degradation pathways of OTC in OFRs during Fenton process. According to toxicity prediction, the comprehensive toxicity of OTC in OFRs was alleviated via Fenton oxidation treatment. In addition, Fenton oxidation showed the ability to reduce antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements, and even tetO, tetG, intI1, and intI2 were eliminated completely. These results suggested that Fenton oxidation treatment could be an efficient strategy for removing OTC and resistance genes in OFRs.

Abstract
Arsenite [As(III)] oxidizing bacteria have been widely studied for their detoxification ability through transforming As(III) into arsenate [As(V)]. However, few was focused on removal capacity of arsenic (As). In the current study, As(III) oxidation accompanied with removal of total As was observed in Pseudomonas sp. SMS11. The biosorption (unbinding and surface binding) and bioaccumulation (intracellular uptake) of As by the cells were investigated. Biosorption isotherm was defined adequately by Langmuir and Freundlich models. Biosorption kinetics was recommended by pseudo second-order model. For comparison, the bacteria were inoculated in pure water or culture media amended with different concentrations of As(III) to evaluate the remediation capacity without or with bacterial growth. After removing unbound As, surface bound and intracellular As were sequentially separated using EDTA elution and acidic extraction from bacterial cells. Without bacterial growth, oxidation of As(III) was retarded and the maximum values of surface bound and intracellular As were 4.8 and 10.5 mg/g, respectively. Efficient oxidation and high adsorption capacity were observed after bacterial growth. The surface bound and intracellular As achieved up to 555.0 and 2421.5 mg/g, respectively. Strain SMS11 exhibited great accumulation capacity of As in aqueous solutions, indicating potential application in detoxification and removal of As(III) contamination. The results also suggested that bioremediation via bacteria should be based on living cells and bacterial growth rate.

Abstract
Efficient abatement of antibiotics from livestock wastewater is in urgent demand, but still challenging. In this study, alkaline-modified biochar with larger surface area (130.520 m2 g-1) and pore volume (0.128 cm3 g-1) was fabricated and explored for the adsorption of different types of antibiotics from livestock wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the adsorption process was mainly determined by chemisorption and was heterogeneous, which could be moderately affected by the variations of solution pH (3-10). Furthermore, the computational analysis based on density functional theory (DFT) indicated that the -OH groups on biochar surface could serve as the dominant active sites for antibiotics adsorption due to the strongest adsorption energies between antibiotics and -OH groups. In addition, the antibiotics removal was also evaluated in multi-pollutants system, where biochar performed synergistic adsorption towards Zn2+/Cu2+ and antibiotics. Overall, these findings not only deepen our understandings on the adsorption mechanism between biochar and antibiotics, but also promote the application of biochar in the remediation of livestock wastewater.

Abstract
The type of feedstock and pyrolysis temperature are the main reasons affecting the properties of the resulting biochar. Therefore, this paper investigates the effects of different feedstocks (peanut shell, corn straw and soybean straw) and different pyrolysis temperatures (300, 450 and 600 ℃) on the structural morphology and elemental composition of the resulting biochar. The optimum pyrolysis temperature of 600 ℃ was selected based on the comparison of the adsorption of NFX (norfloxacin) by the biochar prepared at different temperatures. Characterization of biochar materials using x-ray diffractometer, fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope to study the changes in the physicochemical and structural properties of biochar. The results showed that the pH, surface area and ash content of biochar are increased with increasing temperature. The results of isothermal adsorption and adsorption kinetics experiments showed that the adsorption processes of the three biochar species on NFX were consistent with the Langmuir model and Pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption process occurred in the surface layer of the biochar and was dominated by chemisorption. The inhibition of the adsorption of NFX was more obvious with the higher valence state of cations and the higher ion concentration. The adsorption mechanism of biochar on NFX includes pore filling, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
Accurate and reliable measurement of key biological parameters during penicillin fermentation is of great significance for improving penicillin production. In this research context, a new hybrid soft sensor model method based on RF-IHHO-LSTM (random forest-improved Harris hawks optimization-long short-term memory) is proposed for penicillin fermentation processes. Firstly, random forest (RF) is used for feature selection of the auxiliary variables for penicillin. Next, improvements are made for the Harris hawks optimization (HHO) algorithm, including using elite opposition-based learning strategy (EOBL) in initialization to enhance the population diversity, and using golden sine algorithm (Gold-SA) in the search strategy to make the algorithm accelerate convergence. Then the long short-term memory (LSTM) network is constructed to build a soft sensor model of penicillin fermentation processes. Finally, the hybrid soft sensor model is used to the Pensim platform in simulation experimental research. The simulation test results show that the established soft sensor model, with high accuracy of measurement and good effect, can meet the actual requirements of engineering.

Abstract
Using high-throughput quantitative PCR and next generation sequencing, the impact of land application of raw and composted gentamicin fermentation waste (GFW) on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in maize seeds was studied in a three-year field trial. The raw and composted GFW changed both the bacterial community composition and the ARGs diversity in the maize seeds compared to non-amended controls and chemical fertilizer. The abundance of ARGs after raw GFW amendment was significantly higher than other treatments because of a high abundance of aadA1, qacEdeltal and aph(2')-Id-02; probably induced by gentamicin selection pressure in maize tissues. Meanwhile, the potential host of these three ARGs, pathogenic bacteria Tenacibaculum, also increased significantly in maize seeds after the application of raw GFW. But our result proved that composting could weaken the risk posed by GFW. We further reveal that the key biotic driver for shaping the ARG profiles in maize seeds is bacterial community followed by heavy metal resistance genes, and ARGs are more likely located on bacterial chromosomes. Our findings provide new insight into ARGs dispersal mechanism in maize seeds after long-term GFW application, demonstrate the potential benefits of composting the GFW to reduce risks as well as the potential efficient management method to GFW.

Pyrolysis of Ca/Fe-rich antibiotic fermentation residues into biochars for efficient phosphate removal/recovery from wastewater: Turning hazardous waste to phosphorous fertilizer. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 869:161732. [PMID: 36682552 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Ca/Fe-rich antibiotic fermentation residues (AFRs), a type of hazardous waste, can be regarded as recyclable biomass and metal resources. However, concurrent detoxification and reutilization of biomass and metals resources from AFRs have never been reported before. In this study, Ca/Fe-rich vancomycin fermentation residues were pyrolyzed into biochar to adsorb phosphate for the first time. The residual vancomycin and antibiotic resistance genes were completely decomposed during pyrolysis. The resultant Ca/Fe-rich biochar exhibited excellent performance at adsorbing phosphate without further modifications. The process had rapid kinetics and a maximum adsorption capacity of 102 mg P/g. Ca and Fe were the active sites, whereas different mechanisms were observed under acidic and alkaline conditions. Surprisingly, HCO3- enhanced phosphate adsorption with an increase of adsorption capacity from 43.9 to 71.0 mg/g when HCO3- concentration increased from 1 to 10 mM. Furthermore, actual wastewater could be effectively treated by the biochar. The phosphate-rich spent biochar significantly promoted seed germination (germination rate: 96.7 % vs. 80.0 % in control group, p < 0.01) and seedling growth (shoot length was increased by 57.9 %, p < 0.01) due to the slow release of bioavailable phosphate, and thus could be potentially used as a phosphorous fertilizer. Consequently, the hazardous waste was turned into phosphorous fertilizer, with the additional benefits of detoxifying AFRs, reutilizing biomass and metal resources from AFRs, controlling phosphate pollution, and recovering phosphate from wastewater.

Improper disposal of antibiotic fermentation dregs poses a risk of releasing antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria to the environment. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of biochar addition to lincomycin fermentation dregs (LFDs) composting. Biochar increased compost temperature and enhanced organic matter decomposition and residual antibiotics removal. Moreover, a 1.5- to 17.0-fold reduction in antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) was observed. Adding biochar also reduced the abundances of persistent ARGs hosts (e.g., Streptomyces, Pseudomonas) and ARG-related metabolic pathways and genes (e.g., ATP-binding cassette type-2 transport, signal transduction and multidrug efflux pump genes). By contrast, compost decomposition improved due to enhanced metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids. Overall, adding biochar into LFDs compost reduced the proliferation of ARGs and enhanced microbial community metabolism. These results demonstrate that adding biochar to LFDs compost is a simple and efficient way to decrease risks associated with LFDs composting.

Abstract
The penicillin industry produces a large amount of penicillin mycelial dreg (PMD), potentially causing severe environmental problems without proper treatment and disposal. To achieve the goals of PMD management, the present work explored the potential of PMD as a novel feedstock to produce biochar with very high adsorption performance. PMD was pyrolyzed at 400-800 °C to prepare biochars (PMD-BCs), and the physical and chemical properties were characterized using various methods. The adsorption capacities of Pb2+ on PMD-BC400, PMD-BC600, and PMD-BC800 were 37.04, 62.89, and 107.53 mg/g, respectively, at a temperature of 25 °C and pH of 5.0. The adsorption process of Pb2+ on PMD-BCs can be well described by the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model. Mineral precipitation, ion exchange, functional group complexation and Pb2+-π interaction were involved in the adsorption of Pb2+ on PMD-BCs. Moreover, mineral precipitation and ion exchange dominated Pb2+ sorption on PMD-BCs (84.71-92.73%). This study indicates the transition of PMD to biochar for Pb2+ adsorption is a promising method for PMD utilization.

Abstract
In this study, biochar was prepared using penicillin fermentation residue (PR) as the raw material by different methods. The adsorption behavior and adsorption mechanism of biochar on tetracycline (TC) in an aqueous environment were investigated. The results showed that K2CO3 as an activator could effectively make porous structures, and that biochar with mesoporous or microporous could be prepared in a controlled manner with two kinds of different activation methods, the dry mixing method and the impregnation method. The dry mixing method could create more mesopores, while the impregnation method could prepare more micropores. Microporous biochar (IKBCH) with a high specific surface area could be prepared by the impregnation method combined with HCl soaking, which has an excellent adsorption effect on tetracycline. When the concentration of tetracycline was 200 mg/L, the removal rate of 99.91% could be achieved with the dosage of microporous biochar at 1 g/L. The adsorption process was in accordance with the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of IKBCH was 268.55 mg/g (25°C). The adsorption mechanisms were pore filling, π-π interaction, electrostatic adsorption, and hydrogen bond. Its stable and wide applicability adsorption process does not cause ecological pollution in the aqueous environment, and it is a promising biochar adsorbent.

Abstract
AbstractBiochar shows significant potential to serve as a globally applicable material to remediate water and soil owing to the extensive availability of feedstocks and conducive physio-chemical surface characteristics. This review aims to highlight biochar production technologies, characteristics of biochar, and the latest advancements in immobilizing and eliminating heavy metal ions and organic pollutants in soil and water. Pyrolysis temperature, heat transfer rate, residence time, and type of feedstock are critical influential parameters. Biochar’s efficacy in managing contaminants relies on the pore size distribution, surface groups, and ion-exchange capacity. The molecular composition and physical architecture of biochar may be crucial when practically applied to water and soil. In general, biochar produced at relatively high pyrolysis temperatures can effectively manage organic pollutants via increasing surface area, hydrophobicity and microporosity. Biochar generated at lower temperatures is deemed to be more suitable for removing polar organic and inorganic pollutants through oxygen-containing functional groups, precipitation and electrostatic attraction. This review also presents the existing obstacles and future research direction related to biochar-based materials in immobilizing organic contaminants and heavy metal ions in effluents and soil.

Abstract
Cost-effectively improving the performance of biochar is essential for its large-scale practical application. In this work, the agro-industrial by-products copper slag and tobacco straw were employed for the preparation of modified biochar (CSBC). The obtained CSBC exhibited satisfactory capacity on Se(IV) immobilization of 190.53 mg/g, with surface interactions determined by the monolayer and mainly chemisorption. The removal mechanisms included chemical reduction, electrostatic attraction, co-precipitation, and formation of complexations. Interestingly, the existence of Cu2Se structure after adsorption indicated the involvement of Cu species within Se(IV) elimination. Moreover, the industrial agricultural practicality of CSBC was evaluated by regeneration tests, economic assessment, and pot experiments. The results demonstrate that iron species-modified biochar prepared from two agro-industrial by-products is a promising and feasible candidate for selenite removal from wastewater.

Abstract
Conversion of sewage sludge to biochar for contaminants removal from water achieves the dual purpose of solid waste reuse and pollution elimination, in line with the concept of circular economy and carbon neutrality. However, the current understanding of sludge-derived biochar (SDB) for wastewater treatment is still limited, with a lack of summary regarding the effect of modification on the mechanism of SDB adsorption/catalytic removal aqueous contaminants. To advance knowledge in this aspect, this paper systematically reviews the recent studies on the use of (modified) SDB as adsorbents and in persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) as catalysts for the contaminants removal from water over the past five years. Unmodified SDB not only exhibits stronger cation exchange and surface precipitation for heavy metals due to its nitrogen/mineral-rich properties, but also can provide abundant catalytic active sites for PS. An emphatic summary of how certain adsorption removal mechanisms of SDB or its catalytic performance in PS-AOPs can be enhanced by targeted regulation/modification such as increasing the specific surface area, functional groups, graphitization degree, N-doping or transition metal loading is presented. The interference of inorganic ions/natural organic matter is one of the unavoidable challenges that SDB is used for adsorption/catalytic removal of contaminants in real wastewater. Finally, this paper presents the future perspectives of SDB in the field of wastewater treatment. This review can contribute forefront knowledge and new ideas for advancing sludge treatment toward sustainable green circular economy.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph191710701.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues lead to the risk of resistance gene enrichment, which is the main reason why penicillin mycelial dreg (PMD) is defined as hazardous waste. Hydrothermal treatment (HT) is an effective method to treat penicillin mycelial dreg, but the degradation mechanism of penicillin is unclear. In the study, we researched the effects of pH (4-10) at 80-100 °C and metal ions (Mn2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) at several concentrations on the HT of penicillin, identified the degradation products (DPs) under different conditions, and evaluated the antibacterial activity of hydrothermally treated samples. The results show that penicillin degradation kinetics highly consistent with pseudo-first-order model (R2 = 0.9447-0.9999). The degradation rates (k) at pH = 4, 7, and 10 were 0.1603, 0.0039, and 0.0485 min-1, indicating acidic conditions were more conducive to penicillin degradation. Among the four tested metal ions, Zn2+ had the most significant catalytic effect. Adding 5 mg·L-1 Zn2+ caused 100% degradation rate at pH = 7 after HT for 60 min. Six degradation products (DPs) with low mass-to-charge (m/z ≤ 335) were detected under acidic condition. However, only two and three DPs were observed in the samples catalyzed by Zn2+ and alkali, respectively, and penilloic acid (m/z = 309) was the main DPs under these conditions. Furthermore, no antibacterial activity to Bacillus pumilus was detected in the medium with up to 50% addition of the treated samples under acidic condition. Even though acid, alkali, and some metal ions can improve the degradation ability of penicillin, it was found that the most effective way for removing its anti-bacterial activity was under the acidic condition. Therefore, resistance residue indicates the amount of additive in the process of resource utilization, and avoids the enrichment of resistance genes.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pollution has been considered as one of the most significant emerging environmental and health challenges in the 21st century, many efforts have been paid to control the proliferation and dissemination of ARGs in the environment. Among them, the biochar performs a positive effect in reducing the abundance of ARGs during different environmental governance processes and has shown great application prospects in controlling the ARGs. Although there are increasing studies on employing biochar to control ARGs, there is still a lack of review paper on this hotspot. In this review, firstly, the applications of biochar to control ARGs in different environmental governance processes were summarized. Secondly, the processes and mechanisms of ARGs removal promoted by biochar were proposed and discussed. Then, the effects of biochar properties on ARGs removal were highlighted. Finally, the future prospects and challenges of using biochar to control ARGs were proposed. It is hoped that this review could provide some new guidance for the further research of this field.

Abstract
Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are enriched in antibiotic fermentation residues (AFRs). In this study, we investigated the effect of hydrothermal treatment on dewatering, biogas production, and removal of ARGs in the penicillin fermentation residue (PFR). Solid, 120 µm particles in the PFR were disintegrated to 30 - 40 µm after 140 - 180 °C hydrothermal range. Of extracellular polymeric substance, 79.8 ± 0.4% was decomposed to release 82.2 ± 0.6% of bound water at 180 °C. The effective solid-liquid separation was achieved only after a hydrothermal treatment of 180 °C. More than 75% of organic matter in the filtrate was transformed into biogas by the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB). The absolute abundance of 16 S rRNA and ARGs decreased by 2.4 - 5.2 logs after hydrothermal treatment. The ratio of extracellular ARGs (eARGs) to total ARGs increased at 80 °C and decreased at higher temperature (>120 °C). The absolute abundance of ARGs increased by 0.7 - 1.6 logs in anaerobic digestion, and the relative abundances of ARGs based on 16 S rRNA plummeted by 3 logs. Most (98.7 ± 0.4%) ARGs were distributed in suspended solids and were removed by membrane filtration. Hydrothermal treatment demonstrated broad applicability to 10 varieties of AFRs.

Abstract
In situ N-doped porous carbon (NPC) derived from wheat bran via a convenient salt sealing and air-assisted strategy was prepared for the removal of doxycycline (DOX) from aqueous solution. The NPC was precisely characterized by SEM, FTIR, XPS and BET analysis. Additionally, the experimental variables including contact time, adsorbent dosage of NPC and pH were optimized by using Box-Behnken design (BBD) under response surface methodology (RSM). The predicted adsorption capacity of DOX was found to be 291.14 mg g-1 under optimalizing experimental conditions of 196 min contact time, 0.2 g L-1 adsorbent dosage and pH 5.78. The adsorption experimental data fitted Langmuir, Koble-Corrigan and Redlich-Peterson models well, and the pseudo-second-order model perfectly described the DOX adsorption process onto NPC. Thermodynamic parameters of DOX adsorbed onto NPC indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, the adsorption of DOX on NPC was mostly controlled by electrostatic interaction, π-π electron-donator-acceptor (EDA) interaction, hydrogen-bonding and Lewis acid-base effect. Besides, the N element of NPC also played a role in capturing DOX. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of DOX was turn out to be 333.23 mg g-1 at 298 K, which suggested that the NPC could be a prospectively adsorbent for the removal of DOX from wastewater.

Abstract
According to the circular economy concept, the production of fertilizers should be closed in a loop, which prevents excessive emissions and harmful effects to the environment. Biological wastes are problematic to collect and transport. They undergo a biological transformation that causes greenhouse gases emission and sanitary hazards. Biomass sources used for organic or organo-mineral fertilizers must be free of pathogens and rich in macro and microelements. Solid residues can be processed thermally. Biochar is a carbon produced by biomass pyrolysis without oxygen presence and has been used for many years to improve soil quality and enhance the efficiency of fertilization. There are many research works on the use of biochar in fertilization. This study is also extended by the latest developments and technologies from the patent database (recent year) and biochar-based fertilizers market. To the best of our knowledge, there is no such review currently available in scientific databases. Based on the collected data, the best method of biochar management was proposed - soil application. Biochar applied to soil has several advantages: it improves soil structure and its sorption capacity, enhances soil-nutrient retention and water-holding capacity, immobilizes contaminants from soil (sorption), reduces greenhouse gas emissions and soil nutrient leaching losses while stimulating the growth of a plant.

NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12111814. [PMID: 35683669 PMCID: PMC9182342 DOI: 10.3390/nano12111814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
In this work, an innovative nano-carbon material (N-CM) adsorbent was reported for exploring its adsorption behaviors toward cationic methylene blue (MB) and anionic reactive blue 19 (RB19) pollutants. The proposed N-CM was synthesized by a one-step solvothermal treatment of citric acid and zinc gluconate small precursors. N-CM consists of nanosheets that have an advantageous specific surface area, large sp2/sp3 hybridized domains, and abundant nitrogen/oxygen-containing surface functional groups. The synergistic effects of these features are conducive to the MB and RB19 adsorption. Different from anionic RB19 adsorption (79.54 mg/g) by the cooperative π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding, cationic MB adsorbed onto N-CM mainly by the electrostatic attraction at the natural pH solution (> pHpzc), with an adsorption capacity up to 118.98 mg/g. Interestingly, both MB and RB19 adsorption conformed to the pseudo-second order kinetic (R2 ≥ 0.995) and Langmuir isothermal (R2 ≥ 0.990) models, accompanied by similar maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of 120.77 and 116.01 mg/g, respectively. Their adsorption processes exhibited spontaneously endothermic characteristics. Moreover, N-CM showed superior selective capability toward MB in different mixed dye systems, with high removal efficiencies of 73−89%. These results demonstrate that the high-performance carbon adsorbent prepared from small precursors via low-temperature carbonization shows great potentials in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) contamination raises the expression of antibiotic resistance (AR) in bacteria through co-selection. Biochar application in composting improves the effectiveness of composting and the quality of compost. This improvement includes the elimination and reduction of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs). The use of biochar in contaminated soils reduces the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of the contaminants hence reducing the biological and environmental toxicity. This decrease in contaminant bioavailability reduces contaminants induced co-selection pressure. Conditions which favour reduction in HMs bioavailable fraction (BF) appear to favour reduction in ARGs in compost and soil. Biochar can prevent horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and can eliminate ARGs carried by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). This effect reduces maintenance and propagation of ARGs. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria are the major bacteria phyla identified to be responsible for dissipation, maintenance, and propagation of ARGs. Biochar application rate at 2-10% is the best for the elimination of ARGs. This review provides insight into the usefulness of biochar in the prevention of co-selection and reduction of AR, including challenges of biochar application and future research prospects.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 807:151007. [PMID: 34666088 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.151007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Erythromycin fermentation dregs (EFD) as one kind of organic-rich biosolid was of great potential for methane production. However, the influence of residual erythromycin (ERY) on the anaerobic digestion process of EFD remains unclear. In this study, a batch test was conducted with different ERY concentrations to investigate its effects on methanogenesis. The antibiotic resistance genes and microbial community composition were analyzed to explore the potential mechanism. The results showed that more than 80% of ERY was removed after 30 days digestion. Furthermore, 100, 200 and 300 mg/L of ERY presented no significant effect on the performance of anaerobic digestion. Instead, a high concentration of ERY (500 mg/L) increased 13% rather than inhibited the methane yields. Moreover, the proliferation of the methylase gene (e.g., ermA/T) was promoted under the high pressure of ERY. The relative abundance of acetogenic bacteria (Sedimentibacter) and mixotrophic archaea (Methanosarcina) were enhanced, indicating that their syntrophic association would play the dominant role in the stimulating effects of methanogenesis.

Photocatalytic degradation of Penicillin G in aqueous solutions: Kinetic, degradation pathway, and microbioassays assessment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 421:126719. [PMID: 34364215 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
The photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical micropollutants of Penicillin G (PG) was investigated in a photoreactor at a laboratory scale. The impact of type of catalyst, pH, and initial concentration of PG were studied. Maximum removal efficiency was obtained at pH = 6.8, [ZnO]0 = 0.8 g L-1, and [PG]0 = 5 mg L-1 and reaction time of 150 min. The addition of persulfate sodium (PPS) enhanced the efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction. The efficiency of photolysis process in the presence of PPS was significantly improved to 72.72% compared to the classical photocatalysis system (56.71%). Optimum concentration of PPS to completely degraded PG was found to be 500 mg L-1. The QuEChERS extraction, GC-MS/MS method, and concentration technique showed favorable performance identification of the possible mechanism of PG degradation pathway. Toxicity of PG and its by-products were evaluated using microbioassays assessment based on nine selected bacterial strains. Results confirmed the effectiveness of the implemented system and its safe use via the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, which has illustrated significant activity. Due to the high efficiency, facility benefits, and low-cost of the suggested process, the process can be considered for the degradation of various pharmaceutical contaminants in pharmaceutical industry treatment under the optimal conditions.

Combined hydrothermal treatment, pyrolysis, and anaerobic digestion for removal of antibiotic resistance genes and energy recovery from antibiotic fermentation residues. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 337:125413. [PMID: 34175766 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/11/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
A process combining hydrothermal treatment (HT), pyrolysis, and anaerobic digestion can efficiently treat antibiotic fermentation residues (AFR). The process characteristics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) removal efficiencies of each unit have been investigated. HT of 180 °C improved the biodegradability and dewaterability of the AFR. Pyrolysis of 500 °C and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) of 6.5 ± 0.5 kg COD•(m3•d)-1 recovered the organic matter in filter cake and filtrate of AFR. The biogas and pyrolysis gas can compensate the energy this system needs. HT of 180 °C could reduce 16S rRNA, ARGs, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) by 2.3 to 7.4 logs. UASB increased the copy numbers of ARGs and MGEs, but the relative abundances of ARGs normalized against 16S rRNA were significantly declined. The ARGs and MGEs were enriched in suspended solids of digestate. The application of this process can promote the resources recycling of fermentation waste.
