Magnetization and ZIF-67 modification of Aspergillus flavus biomass for tetracycline removal from aqueous solutions: A stable and efficient composite. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118931. [PMID: 38615794 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118931] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
In the present work, the biomass of Aspergillus flavus (AF) was modified using magnetic nanoparticles MnFe2O4 and metal-organic framework of ZIF-67, and its ability to remove tetracycline antibiotic (TCH) was investigated. With the help of physicochemical tests, AF biomass modification with ZIF-67 and MnFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles was confirmed. Based on the BET value, AF-MnFe2O4-ZIF-67 (139.83 m2/g) has a higher surface value than AF (0.786 m2/g) and AF/MnFe2O4 (17.504 m2/g). Also, the magnetic saturation value revealed that the modified biomass can be isolated from the treated solution using a simple magnetic field. Maximum TCH elimination (99.04%) using AF-MnFe2O4-ZIF-67 was obtained at pH 7, adsorber mass of 1 g/L, adsorption time of 40 min, and TCH content of 10 mg/L. The thermodynamic study indicated that the TCH abatement using the desired composite is spontaneous and exothermic. The experimental results showed that the adsorption process is compatible with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity for AF, AF-MnFe2O4, and AF-MnFe2O4-ZIF-67 was quantified to be 9.75 mg/g, 25.59 mg/g, and 43.87 mg/g, respectively. The reusability of the desired adsorbers was examined in up to 8 steps. The outcomes showed that the adsorbers can be used several times in TCH elimination. The provided composite can remove TCH from hospital wastewater, so it can be suggested for use in water and wastewater treatment works.

Abstract
In this study, a new composite from silica coated MnFe2O4 nanoparticles, diethylenetriamine, 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane and Mg-Al Layered Double Hydroxide (Mg-Al LDH/DETA/CPTMS/SCNPs) composite was synthesized. The Mg-Al LDH/DETA/CPTMS/SCNPs composite was examined by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM). The synthesized composite exhibited magnetic property with a saturation magnetization of 0.40 emu g-1. The Mg-Al LDH/DETA/CPTMS/SCNPs composite was utilized as a successful adsorbent for removal of tetracycline from aqueous solutions. The effect of various operation factors such as initial drug concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH and contact time were investigated. The optimized variable conditions such as adsorbent dose of 60 mg L-1, drug concentration of 100 mg L-1, pH = 7 and contact time 30 min were obtained. For describing the adsorption isotherms, the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption models were utilized. The results indicated that the adsorption isotherm is in good agreement with Langmuir model. According to the Langmuir analysis, the maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of the Mg-Al LDH/DETA/CPTMS/SCNPs composite for tetracycline was obtained to be 40.16 mg g-1. The kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption in all cases to be a pseudo second-order process. The negative value of ΔG° and the positive value of ΔH° showed the adsorption process to be spontaneous and endothermic.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) transfer from the environment to living organisms is a nonignorable global problem. As a complete metamorphosis insect, the larvae and adult Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito live in aquatic and terrestrial environments, respectively, where they easily access MPs. However, little is known about mosquitoes' potential role in MPs accumulation throughout ecosystems. Therefore, we conducted a study with different MPs particle sizes (0.1/1/10 μm) and concentrations (0.5/5/50 μg/mL) on Cx. quinquefasciatus to address this issue. Once exposed at the young larval stage, MPs could accompany the mosquitoes their entire life. The fluorescence signals of MPs in the larvae were mainly located in the intestines. Its intensity increased (from 3.72 × 106 AU to 5.45 × 107 AU) as the concentrations of MPs increases. The fluorescence signals of MPs were also detected in the blood and skin tissues of mice bitten by adult mosquitoes with MPs containing in their bodies. Mosquitos exposed to MPs showed longer larval pupation and eclosion time as well as lower adult body weight. In addition, MPs significantly reduced the lethal effect of pyrethroid insecticides (97.77 % vs. 48.88 %, p < 0.05) with 15.1 % removal of the deltamethrin concentration. After MPs exposure, the relative abundance of the Cx. quinquefasciatus gut microbiome, such as Wolbachia spp., Elizabethkingia spp., and Asaia spp., changed as the MPs size and concentration changes. Mosquitoes provide a new pathway for MPs accumulation and transfer to higher-level living organisms. Moreover, MPs significantly reduce the control effect of deltamethrin, providing new guidelines for mosquito insecticide application in MPs contamination circumstances.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 345:123452. [PMID: 38286263 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123452] [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: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024]
Abstract
In this research, engineered biochar and hydrochar derived from paddy husk were compared for the adsorption tetracycline (TC) in water effluents. Biochar was produced at three different pyrolysis temperatures (e.g., 250 °C, 300 °C and 350 °C) while hydrochar was produced using three different HTC temperatures (e.g., 180 °C, 200 °C and 220 °C). The adsorptive experiments were performed for both biochar and hydrochar using well-defined experimental conditions: pH (3); initial TC concentration (10 mg/L); adsorbent dosage (1 g/L); and temperature (27 °C) to study their adsorptive performances (qe in mg/g). After selecting the best qe values for both biochar and hydrochar, both materials were modified using 20% H3PO4. A comprehensive scientific evaluation of both engineered biochar (EBC 350) and hydrochar (EHC 220) was performed using adsorption isotherm, adsorption kinetics, rate-limiting, and thermodynamics tests along with their characterization using FTIR and point of zero charge (pzc). The effects of temperature, dosage, and initial TC concentration on the adsorption process were studied for both EBC 350 and EHC 220. Acid activation improved the adsorptive performance of EHC 220 almost four times (from 1.9 to 7.5 mg/g), whereas adsorptive performance of EBC 350 improved 2.4 times from 3.8 to 9.1 mg/g. The best pH for TC adsorption onto EHC 220 was 5, whereas it was 3 for EBC 350. EBC 350 exhibited a good fit with the Freundlich model, whereas EHC 220 followed the Langmuir model. At 100 mg/L TC concentration, EHC 220 exhibited higher qe value (46.9 mg/g) compared to EBC 350 (41.7 mg/g). The Pseudo-first order kinetic model was the best fit for EHC 220 adsorption, whereas Pseudo-second order model was most suitable for EBC 350. The adsorption mechanisms involved in TC adsorption by EHC 220 included hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic effect, and π-π interaction, whereas cation exchange, mass diffusion, and π-π interaction were involved for EBC 350. The results of this study will facilitate the development of cost-effective filters with the incorporation of engineered biochar/engineered hydrochar for the active removal of emerging contaminants, like tetracycline, from wastewater so as to increase its reusable potential.

Abstract
Oily sludge-derived activated carbon was prepared using the potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation method using oily sludge as a raw material, and one-factor experiments determined the best conditions for preparing activated carbon. The activated carbon's morphological structure and surface chemical properties were analyzed by scanning different characterization tools, and the adsorption behavior of tetracycline hydrochloride was investigated. The results showed that the optimum conditions for preparing oily sludge-derived activated carbon were an activation temperature of 400 °C, activation time of 30 min, activator concentration of 1 mol/L, and impregnation ratio of 2 mL/g. After activation, the activated carbon had more pores and a more orderly crystal structure arrangement, the specific surface area was 2.07 times higher than that before activation, and the surface was rich in functional groups such as -HO, -C-O, -C=C, and -C-H, which increased the active sites of activated carbon. Physicochemical effects dominated the adsorption process. It belonged to the spontaneous heat absorption process under the quasi-secondary kinetic and Langmuir isothermal models. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of KOH-activated carbon was 205.1 mg·g-1.

Abstract
Bimetal doped Cu-Fe-zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8)/graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) (Cu-Fe-ZIF-8/GCN) nanocomposites were prepared via one-pot and ion-exchange methods. The main influencing factors, such as adsorbent concentration, TC concentration, initial pH, and coexisting ions, were evaluated in detail. Due to the suitable pore structures and the presence of multiple interactions on the surface, the nanocomposite showed a high adsorption capacity up to 932 mg g-1 for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), outperforming ZIF-8 by 4.8 times. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm were depicted in good detail using pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models, respectively. Thermodynamic calculation revealed that the adsorption of the nanocomposite under experimental conditions was a spontaneous heat absorption process, and was primarily driven by chemisorption. After four cycles of use, the nanocomposite retained 87.2% of its initial adsorption capacity, confirming its high reusability and broad application prospects in removing tetracycline-type pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
Wetlands have been widely used in wastewater treatment and restoration of water bodies due to their ecological characteristics and functions. However, large amounts of plant residues are produced in wetlands every year and their treatment are facing large challenge. Synthesis of wetland plant-based functional materials (WPBFMs) has emerged as promising method for treating and recycling wetland plant residues. These functional materials have been demonstrated to effectively remove aqueous pollutants, such as antibiotics and dyes in wastewater. This article provides a comprehensive review on synthesis and application of WPBFMs for aqueous antibiotics removal and gives guidance for future research in treatment and recycling of wetland plant residues. It is shown that emergent plant residues are the mostly used raw materials for WPBFMs synthesis. The main products are biochar and its composites, cellulose and its modified materials, which are synthesized by slow pyrolysis and alkali treatment-bleaching treatment method, respectively. The removal pathways and mechanisms for aqueous antibiotics by WPBFMs are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are discussed for synthesis and application of WPBFMs for antibiotics removal.

Abstract
A new green reactive adsorbent (calcium ferric oxide silica sand (CFO-SS)) made from wastepaper sludge ash and ferric ions was synthesised and shown to remove tetracycline antibiotics (TC) from contaminated water effectively. The synthesised sand was dried at 95 °C, and a series of batch and fixed bed experiments were performed to determine the optimum operating conditions. Results showed that the adsorption capacity of the CFO-SS increases with the concentration gradient between the solid and liquid phases. 0.3 g of the new adsorbent was proven sufficient to remove more than 90% of the TC at a pollutant dose of 50 mg/L in 50 mL of simulated groundwater with an agitation speed of 200 rpm for 3 h. The adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir isotherm model, with a loading capacity of 21.96 mg/g at pH 7, while the Pseudo second-order model best described the absorption kinetics. The adsorption mechanisms proposed included electrostatic interaction, intraparticle diffusion, hydrogen bonding, and cation-π interactions. Characterisation investigations revealed that the newly precipitated oxides on silica sand play an essential role in TC adsorption support. In fixed-bed experiments, it was discovered that reducing the flow rate and inflow concentration of TC and increasing the sorbent mass significantly extended the lifetime of the produced sorbent in the packed column. The measured breakthrough curves were best fit with the Adams-Bohart and the Clark models, as they provided the highest square root number (R2) values. Finally, considering the efficacy of CFO-SS in TC adsorption performance, it can be noted that the novel synthesised reactive material is an efficient and environmentally friendly material for TC removal, and it presents a potential solution to resolving the challenge of TC-rich groundwater.

Abstract
In this research, rice husk (RH) was utilized to prepare a magnetic adsorbent for adsorption of ascorbic acid (AA). The magnetic agent is iron(III) chloride (FeCl3). The impact of acid concentration in the range of 400-800 ppm, adsorbent dosage in the range of 0.5-1 g, and contact time in the range of 10-130 min were studied. The Langmuir model had the highest R2 of 0.9982, 0.9996, and 0.9985 at the temperature of 15, 25, and 35 °C, respectively, and the qmax values in these temperatures have been calculated at 19.157, 31.34, and 38.75 mg/g, respectively. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model had the best agreement with the experimental results. In this kinetic model, the values of q have been measured at 36.496, 45.248, and 49.019 mg/g at the acid concentration of 418, 600, and 718 ppm, respectively. The values of ΔHo and ΔSo were measured 31.972 kJ/mol and 120.253 kJ/mol K, respectively, which proves the endothermic and irregularity nature of the adsorption of AA. Besides, the optimum conditions of the design-expert software have been obtained 486.929 ppm of acid concentration, 0.875 g of the adsorbent dosage, and 105.397 min of the contact time, and the adsorption efficiency in these conditions was determined at 92.94%. The surface area of the RH and modified RH was determined of 98.17 and 120.23 m2/g, respectively, which confirms the high surface area of these two adsorbents.

The surface structural properties of CVAC and the adsorption performance of CVAC on tetracycline (TC) under different adsorption variables were analyzed and investigated using different characterization methods. The results showed that the specific surface area of CVAC was 491.16 m2 g-1 and the adsorption process was in accordance with Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity of TC was 310.696 mg g-1 at pH 9 and 50 °C, and it was mainly physical adsorption. Furthermore, the cyclic adsorption-desorption behavior of CVAC using ethanol as eluent was evaluated and the feasibility of its long-term application was explored. CVAC also showed good cyclic performance. The variation of ΔG° and ΔH° confirmed that the adsorption of TC by CVAC was a spontaneous heat absorption process.

Efficient and selective use of functionalized material in the decontamination of water: removal of emerging micro-pollutants from aqueous wastes. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2023; 44:1099-1113.

Abstract
The contamination of the aquatic environment with emerging micro-pollutants is a serious global concern. The aim of this investigation was to synthesize novel functionalized material (BNAPTES) precursor to natural bentonite in a single pot facile synthetic route. The material was utilized for efficient and selective removal of tetracycline (TC) and triclosan (TCS) in aqueous wastes. The grafting of silane was confirmed with the FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) analysis and the EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray) analysis showed the incorporation of amino group with the bentonite. The structural changes of clay due to silane grafting were studied with the help of XRD (X-ray Diffraction) and BET (Brunner-Emmett-Teller) surface area analyses. Batch adsorption studies showed that functionalized clay significantly increased the selectivity and adsorption capacity of bentonite for TC and TCS. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was found to be 15.36 and 17.15 mg/g for TC and TCS, respectively. The rapid uptake of TC and TCS by functionalized material followed pseudo-second-rate kinetics. Further, a total of 78% of TC and 73% of TCS were removed within 5 min of contact and the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 120 min. The influence of background electrolytes and co-existing ions indicated that TC and TCS were selective towards BNAPTES. The loading capacities of the column packed with BNAPTES were found to be 56.00 and 44.42 mg/g for TC and TCS, respectively. Further, BNAPTES was found efficient even in real water treatment since the attenuation of TC and TCS was not affected significantly in the real water matrix.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) antibiotic-related water pollution directly threatens human health and ecosystems. Here, a zinc ferrite/chitosan-curdlan (ZNF/CHT-CRD) magnetic composite was prepared via a co-precipitation method to be used as a novel, green adsorbent for TC removal from water. Benefiting from a multitude of functional groups, CRD was first crosslinked with CHT and then magnetized with ZNF to provide an easy separation from the solution with an external magnetic force. The successful synthesis and magnetization of the composite were verified with different characterization techniques. The effect of solution pH and composite dosage was carefully evaluated. The optimum solution pH and composite dosage were 6 and 0.65 g/L, respectively, with complete TC removal. The adsorption process by the magnetic composite followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity determined from the Langmuir model was 371.42 mg/g at 328 K. Thermodynamic parameters indicated endothermic and spontaneous adsorption. Meanwhile, the composite could be readily separated from the aqueous solution thanks to its magnetic property. Then, it was regenerated with acetone and ethanol to be reused for five more successive cycles. Interestingly, the prepared adsorbent was highly stable and performant in removing TC, maintaining approximately 90 % of its first-cycle adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanism was primarily attributed to electrostatic and hydrogen bonding attractions. Overall, the currently developed adsorbent could be a more favorable, efficient, and cost-effective candidate than other magnetic chitosan-based composites. These features make it applicable for treating water contaminated with various pharmaceutical pollutants with high separation efficiency and easy recovery under successive adsorption-desorption cycles.

Abstract
In the present study, chitosan (C), walnut (W), and almond shell (A) powder adsorbent (in different combinations as almond shells:walnut:chitosan 2:1:1 (AWC), chitosan:almond shell:walnut 2:1:1 (CAW), and walnut:almond shells:chitosan 2:1:1 (WAC)) powder were combined in different ratios to produce low-cost composite adsorbent beads for the removal of antibiotics gatifloxacin (GAT) from synthetic wastewater. The beads were characterized by a scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrum spectrophotometer, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The batch adsorption approach was employed to remove the antibiotic from the water. Moreover, isotherm and kinetics were conducted to illustrate the adsorption mechanism. Parameters like the effect of the adsorbent's dosage, pH, initial concentration, and contact time on antibiotic adsorption were evaluated. Adsorption percentage increased slightly with the increase in adsorbent dosage. The optimum pH for GAT adsorption on beads was 5-7. In addition, adsorption increased with initial antibiotic concentration and time rise. The adsorption isotherm data were successfully fitted to Langmuir isotherm for AWC and CAW beads, while WAC beads followed the Freundlich isotherm. The highest adsorption was attained at pH 5 on CAW beads and pH 7 on AWC and WAC beads. The optimal contact time for equilibrium studies was 120 min for all types of beads. The adsorption isotherm data in AWC beads fit well with the Langmuir model and Freundlich adsorption for CAW and WAC beads. The rate of adsorption on beads follows Lagergren pseudo-second-order kinetics. The results indicate that prepared combination beads can be used to remove antibiotics from wastewater.

Abstract
In order to minimize the adverse impacts on the aquatic environment after treatment process, several attempts have been made to develop biodegradable, easy-to-recover, and environmentally friendly materials. The metal-organic framework material (CoFe-MOF) was developed in the CMC aerogel matrix by solvothermal method and applied in tetracycline antibiotic (TCC) adsorption. The morphological and structural properties of the materials were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), and (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) (BET) to identify the crystals formed relative to the pristine MOF. The effects of various factors of the adsorption process such as time, pH, amount of adsorbent, and initial concentration of antibiotics were investigated. Results have shown that the adsorption capacity was 188.7 mg.g-1 at pH 4, the initial TCC concentration of 80 g.L-1 and equilibration time of 120 min. The experimental data describing the antibiotic adsorption process follows the Pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isothermal model. The CoFe-MOF aerogel material can recover and reuse all four cycles, thus it can be considered as a promising material for environmental remediation and other applications.

Abstract
CuO/Fe3O4/GO, as a Z-scheme heterojunction catalyst, was successfully synthesized and used as a photocatalyst for removing tetracycline from aqueous solution. The CuO/Fe3O4/GO heterogeneous catalyst combines the narrow bandgap semiconductor CuO, oxygen vacancies of Fe3O4, and oxygen-containing reaction sites of GO. Without the addition of activators (persulfate or H2O2), the photocatalytic performance on decomposing tetracycline is very excellent. Compared with GO, Fe3O4, and CuO, CuO/Fe3O4/GO exhibits superior photocatalytic performance. Under visible light radiation, CuO/Fe3O4/GO generates h+ and ⋅O2-, which are the mainly responsible active groups for TC degradation. The effects of various pH, catalysts, and reuse on the degradation performance are evaluated, and the optimal conditions for CuO/Fe3O4/GO removal of tetracycline are obtained at pH 7, catalyst dosage 20 mg⋅L-1, TC at a concentration of 30 mg/L, nearly 97.3% of tetracycline is decomposed. This study has great potential in the treatment of wastewater containing various antibiotics.

Highly Efficient Adsorption of Tetracycline Using Chitosan-Based Magnetic Adsorbent. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14224854.

Abstract
Herein, tetracycline adsorption employing magnetic chitosan (CS·Fe3O4) as the adsorbent is reported. The magnetic adsorbent was synthesized by the co-precipitation method and characterized through FTIR, XRD, SEM, and VSM analyses. The experimental data showed that the highest maximum adsorption capacity was reached at pH 7.0 (211.21 mg g-1). The efficiency of the magnetic adsorbent in tetracycline removal was dependent on the pH, initial concentration of adsorbate, and the adsorbent dosage. Additionally, the ionic strength showed a significant effect on the process. The equilibrium and kinetics studies demonstrate that Sips and Elovich models showed the best adjustment for experimental data, suggesting that the adsorption occurs in a heterogeneous surface and predominantly by chemical mechanisms. The experimental results suggest that tetracycline adsorption is mainly governed by the hydrogen bonds and cation-π interactions due to its pH dependence as well as the enhancement in the removal efficiency with the magnetite incorporation on the chitosan surface, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters indicate a spontaneous and exothermic process. Finally, magnetic chitosan proves to be efficient in TC removal even after several adsorption/desorption cycles.

Abstract
Cow dung (CD) is a waste product of livestock production. Improper disposal of a large amount of CD will cause environmental pollution. In this work, three biochar materials based on CD (BMCD) were prepared by using three types of base, including KOH, NaOH, and mixed base (MB, a mixture of equal mass NaOH and KOH) as activators to investigate the different physicochemical properties of BMCDs (BMCD-K, BMCD-Na, and BMCD-MB). The objective was to verify the effectiveness of MB activation in the preparation of biochar materials. The results show that MB has an effect on the structural characteristics of BMCDs. In particular, the surface area and total pore volume, the specific surface area, and the total pore volume of BMCD-MB (4081.1 m2 g−1 and 3.0118 cm3 g−1) are significantly larger than those of BMCD-K (1784.6 m2 g−1 and 1.1142 cm3 g−1) and BMCD-Na (1446.1 m2 g−1 and 1.0788 cm3 g−1). While synthetic dye rhodamine B (RhB) and antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) were selected as organic pollutant models to explore the adsorption performances, the maximum adsorption capacities of BMCD-K, BMCD-NA and BMCD-MB were 951, 770, and 1241 mg g−1 for RhB, 975, 1051, and 1105 mg g−1 for TH, respectively, which were higher than those of most adsorbents. This study demonstrated that MB can be used as an effective activator for the preparation of biochar materials with enhanced performance.

Abstract
Low-cost adsorbent, pine bark biochar (PBB) from the forest residue, was produced and applied to remove tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solution via adsorption pathway. The PBB, hence obtained, was modified using aqueous ferric and ferrous ion solutions to obtain magnetic pine bark biochar (M-PBB). Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to examine the adsorption of TC by PBB and M-PBB in the variation of pH, contact time, dosage, and temperature. The adsorbents were characterized by SEM/EDX, TGA, and pHpzc. The adsorption mechanism was evaluated by fitting Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms model. Also, the experimental data were analyzed by kinetics models (pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion, and Elovich) and thermodynamics. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of M-PBB was 15.3 mg/g from the experiment at pH 6. A high correlation coefficient (R2 ≈ 0.9) of Freundlich isotherm postulated multi-layer adsorption of TC on M-PBB at pH 6. The kinetic studies showed that the pseudo-first-order was more suitable for representing the adsorption of TC molecules on the surface. The thermodynamic analysis was showed that the adsorption process is favorable, spontaneous, and endothermic at studied temperatures. M-PBB demonstrated a potential for removal of TC from water as a low-cost and convenient adsorbent.

Abstract
Significant concerns have been raised regarding to the pollution of antibiotics in recent years due to the abuse of antibiotics and their high detection rate in water. Herein, a novel super adsorbent, boronic acid-modified bacterial cellulose microspheres with a size of 415 μm in diameter was prepared through a facile water-in-oil emulsion method. The adsorbent was characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses to confirm its properties. The microspheres were applied as packing materials for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) from an aqueous solution and hoggery sewer via the reversible covalent interaction between cis-diol groups in TC molecules and the boronic acid ligand. TC adsorption performance had been systemically investigated under various conditions, including the pH, temperature, TC concentration, contact time, and ionic strength. Results showed that the adsorption met pseudo-second-order, Elovich kinetic model and Sips, Redlich-Peterson isothermal models. And the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic, with the maximum TC adsorption capacity of 614.2 mg/g. After 18 adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity remained as high as 84.5% compared with their original adsorption capacity. Compared with other reported adsorption materials, the microspheres had high adsorption capacity, a simple preparation process, and excellent recovery performance, demonstrating great potential in application on TC removal for water purification and providing new insights into the antibiotic's adsorption behavior of bacterial cellulose-based microspheres.

Abstract
Natural organic matters (NOMs) are ubiquitous in the environment, but few systematic studies have examined the influence of NOMs on the sorption ability of magnetic sludge biochar. In this study, magnetic sludge biochar was synthesized, characterized, and used as a sorbent to remove tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solutions. The effects of pH, humic acid (HA), and fulvic acid (FA) on TC adsorption by magnetic sludge biochar were studied using batch experiments. Adding HA and FA can alter the adsorption behavior of TC, except for its pH dependency. The results of this study show that relatively low concentrations of dissolved HA (≤8 ppm) and FA (≤5 ppm) promote the adsorption capacity of TC, but higher concentrations compete against TC for sorption sites on the surface of magnetic sludge biochar. The results of this study promote a better understanding of the application of magnetic sludge biochar in real antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
The increased antibiotic consumption and their improper management led to serious antibiotic pollution and its exposure to the environment develops multidrug resistance in microbes against antibiotics. The entry rate of antibiotics to the environment is much higher than its exclusion; therefore, efficient removal is a high priority to reduce the harmful impact of antibiotics on human health and the environment. Recent developments in cost-effective and efficient biochar preparation are noticeable for their effective removal. Moreover, biochar engineering advancements enhanced biochar remediation performance several folds more than in its pristine forms. Biochar engineering provides several new interactions and bonding abilities with antibiotic pollutants to increase remediation efficiency. Especially heteroatoms-doping significantly increased catalysis of biochar. The main focus of this review is to underline the crucial role of biochar in the abatement of emerging antibiotic pollutants. A detailed analysis of both native and engineered biochar is provided in this article for antibiotic remediation. There has also been discussion of how biochar properties relate to feedstock, production conditions and manufacturing technologies, and engineering techniques. It is possible to produce biochar with different surface functionalities by varying the feedstock or by modifying the pristine biochar with different chemicals and preparing composites. Subsequently, the interaction of biochar with antibiotic pollutants was compared and reviewed. Depending on the surface functionalities of biochar, they offer different types of interactions e.g., π-π stacking, electrostatic, and H-bonding to adsorb on the biochar surface. This review demonstrates how biochar and related composites have optimized for maximum removal performance by regulating key parameters. Furthermore, future research directions and opportunities for biochar research are discussed.

Abstract
Herein we present a facile approach for the preparation of a novel hierarchically porous carbon, in which seaweeds serve as carbon source and KOH as activator. The fabricated KOH-activated seaweed carbon (K-SC) displays strong affinity towards tetracycline with maximum uptake quantity of 853.3 mg/g, significantly higher than other tetracycline adsorbents. The superior adsorption capacity ascribes to large specific surface area (2614 m2/g) and hierarchically porous structure of K-SC, along with strong π- π interactions between tetracycline and K-SC. In addition, the as-prepared K-SC exhibits fast adsorption kinetics, capable of removing 99% of tetracycline in 30 min. Meanwhile, the exhausted K-SC can be regenerated for four cycling adsorption without an obvious degradation in capacities. More importantly, pH and ionic strengths barely affect the adsorption performance of K-SC, implying electrostatic interactions hardly play any role in tetracycline adsorption process. Furthermore, the K-SC packed fixed-bed column (0.1 g of adsorbents) can continually treat 2780 mL solution spiked with 5.0 mg/g tetracycline before reaching the breakthrough point. All in all, the fabricated K-SC equips with high adsorption capacity, fast adsorption rate, glorious anti-interference capability and good reusability, which make it hold great feasibilities for treating tetracycline contamination in real applications.

Abstract
A bio-based ceramic/organic xerogel (BCO-xerogel) was obtained from the combination of sugarcane bagasse ash, polyvinyl alcohol, and pine cone-derived tannin extract, which are abundant, non-toxic, and renewable sources. The as-prepared BCO-xerogel was used as a low-cost green adsorbent for the eliminate of four types of the most widely used antibiotics, including amoxicillin (AMX), tetracycline (TC), cefalexin (CLX), and penicillin G (PEN G) residuals from contaminated water. The simultaneous effects conventional variables including adsorbent dosage, antibiotic concentrations, solution pH, and contact time were studied and optimized by central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed as a statistical formula to determine the significance of operating environmental conditions and their interactions with 95% confidence limits. Under optimized conditions, the experimental removal efficiencies for AMX, TC, CLX, and PEN G were 98.78 ± 3.25, 99.12 ± 2.52, 98.02 ± 1.98, and 98.42 ± 2.19, respectively. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics were better fitted with Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption process was endothermic, spontaneous, and occurred by combination of physical and chemical mechanisms. Also, evaluating the ability of BCO-xerogel to adsorptive removal of AMX, TC, CLX, and PEN G antibiotics in real wastewaters showed about 97.4-98.6% adsorption efficiency in river water and about 67.1-71.3% in three hospital effluents. After the adsorption process, the antibiotic-loaded adsorbent was regenerated by NaOH (0.01 mol L-1), and the reusability tests showed that the removal efficiencies of the antibiotics in the four recovery steps were still above 90%. This work explored the development of green, efficient, and economical bio-adsorbent that can be utilized for the removal of antibiotics from contaminated wastewaters.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues in effluents from bio-treated wastewaters are mainly responsible for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. Conventional physicochemical treatments are thought to be unsustainable due to high energy consumption, large consumption of chemicals and environmental unfriendly processing step. In this study, a novel approach by integrating photosynthetic electrons extraction from microalgae with antibiotic induction was used to enhance the production of microalgae-originated photosensitizer for photolytic removal of antibiotic residues in effluents from conventional bio-treated wastewaters. Results showed that the accumulation of photoactive substances in extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) of chlorella vulgaris was positively related to the amounts of photosynthetic electrons extracted by the electrode which is a potential-dependent process and can be further enhanced by tetracycline (TC) induction. The protein and humic acid which are considered two main photoactive substances in EPS produced at 0.6 V accumulated to a high level of 320 and 24 μg/cm3 and were further increased to 380 and 48 μg/cm3 when TC was added which were 4.7 and 6.4-folds higher than that produced at potential free in the absence of TC. The EPS produced at 0.6 and 0.8 V led to 1.34 and 1.53-fold acceleration in photosensitized degradation of TC compared to that of EPS free in secondary effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plant. The complex heterocyclic ring structure of TC was broken down into simple monocyclic aromatic compounds, indicating a marked reduction in biotoxicity and recalcitrance. The hydroxyl radical played a main role for the photolysis of TC followed by singlet oxygen. This technology provides a new alternative to conventional physicochemical treatment as complementary treatment processes for biological wastewater treatment in terms of antibiotics removal.

Abstract
Activated carbon (ENAC) was prepared by NaOH activation, using macroalgae (Enteromorpha clathrate) as raw material. The prepared activated carbon has a large surface area (1238.491 m2 g-1) and its total pore volume and average pore size are 0.6823 cm3g-1 and 2.2038 nm, respectively. The ENAC was characterized by SEM, FTIR, BET and XPS. The effects of contact time (0-960 min), initial tetracycline (TC) concentration (50-500 mg L-1), temperature (30-50 °C) and initial pH (2-11) on TC adsorption were evaluated. The adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics were discussed. Results showed that the adsorption isotherm was the Langmuir model, and the adsorption process can be described by the pseudo-second-order model. The N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm was type IV, indicating that the activated carbon had mesoporous structure. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The maximum adsorption capacity of TC was 381.584 mg g-1. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to simulate and analyze the adsorption process, and the influence of different types of N on the adsorption was expounded. The results showed that there are electrostatic interactions, π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding between the adsorbent and TC. These results indicated that the prepared ENAC had a great application prospect in the removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Development of economic and efficient absorbent for the simultaneous removal of antibiotics and heavy metals is needed. In this study, a three-dimensional porous ultrathin g-C3N4 (UCN) /graphene oxide (GO) hydrogel (UCN-GH) was prepared by co-assembling of UCN and GO nanosheets via the facile hydrothermal reaction. Characterizations indicated that the addition of UCN significantly decreased the reduction of CO and O-CO related groups of GO during the hydrothermal reaction and introduced amine groups on UCN-GH. The UCN-GH exhibited excellent ability on the co-removal of Cu(II) (qmax = 2.0-2.5 mmol g-1) and tetracycline (TC) (qmax = 1.2-3.0 mmol g-1) from water. The adsorption capacities were increased as UCN mass ratio increasing. The mutual effects between Cu(II) and TC were examined through adsorption kinetics and isotherm models. Characterizations and computational chemistry analysis indicated that Cu(II) is apt to coordinate with the amine groups on UCN than with oxygen groups on GO, which accounts for the enhanced adsorption ability of UCN-GH. In the binary system, Cu(II) acts as a bridge between TC and UCN-GH enhanced the removal of TC. The effects of pH and regular salt ions on the removal of Cu(II)/TC were examined. Moreover, the prepared UCN-GH also showed comparable co-adsorption capacities in practical water/wastewater.

Abstract
Biomass, which defined as plant- or animal-based materials, is intriguing tremendous scientific attentions due to its renewable attribute in serving energy security. Amongst, the plant-based biomasses, particularly those that co-generated in the agriculture activities, are commonly regarded as fuel for burning, which overlooked their hidden potentials for high-end applications. Organically, the plant-based biomass constitutes of lignocellulose components, which can be served as promising precursors for functionalized carbon materials. Meanwhile, its inorganic counterpart made up of various minerals, with Si being the most concerned one. With the advancement of biomass technologies and material synthesis in recent years, numerous attempts were endeavoured to obtain valorised products from biomass. Particularly, syntheses of catalytic and adsorptive materials are actively researched in the field of biomass reutilization. Herein, our work systematically summarized the advancements of biomass-materials for these applications in recent 10 years (2010-2020), with a special focus on the carbon-based and Si-based catalytic/adsorptive materials. Significantly, the deriving steps, inclusive of both pre-treatment and post-treatment of such materials, are incorporated in the discussion, alongside with their significances revealed too. The performance of the as-obtained materials in the respective application is systematically correlated to their physicochemical properties, hence providing valuable insights to the readers. Challenges and promising directions to be explored are raised too at the end of the review, aiming to advocate better-usage of biomass while offering great opportunities to sustain catalysis and adsorption in the industrial scale.

Abstract
Continuous phosphorus discharges in bodies of water, generated by human activities, such as agriculture, domestic effluences or wastewater from industrial processes, produce contaminated water and eutrophication. For this reason, efficient and low-cost systems that can remove phosphorus from contaminated water are necessary. In addition, it is important to generate renewable energy such as the energy produced in biomass power plants, taking advantage of the available biomass waste in each place. When producing this renewable energy, the resulting ash is a residue that can be used for phosphorus removal by adsorption processes. Moreover, according to the concept of the circular economy, the ash waste generated in this bio energy process should be reduced as much as possible. One of the advantages of this research being that surplus phosphorus-laden ash can be reused as fertilizer in agricultural fields. Considering this, the efficiency of reed ash (RA) (Phragmites australis) has been analysed in batch experiments, as well as the effect of several parameters on the removal of phosphate, such as contact time, phosphate-ash ratio, ash dose and temperature. Significant results obtained show that RA can be used to improve water quality.

Abstract
We ascertained the structural firmness of β-antimonene nanotube and studied the adsorption behaviour of sulfadimethoxine (SM) and tetracycline (TC) molecules on the base substrate using density functional theory (DFT) with B86LYP-D3 level of theory. Significantly, β-antimonene nanotube displays a semiconducting character with an energy band-gap of 0.263 eV. The three dissimilar preferential adsorption sites namely, bride-, hollow-, tube-inner site of SM and TC molecules on β-antimonene nanotube were investigated using average band gap changes, Bader charge transfer along with adsorption energy. Further, the calculated adsorption energy for preferential adsorption sites is noticed to be in the scope of -0.813 eV to -3.752 eV signifying to physisorption and chemisorption form of interaction on β-antimonene nanotube. The inclusive outcome recommends that β-antimonene nanotube can be deployed as a chemi-resistive sensor to sense and remove SM and TC molecules from the contaminated aqueous medium.

Novel sodium bicarbonate activation of cassava ethanol sludge derived biochar for removing tetracycline from aqueous solution: Performance assessment and mechanism insight. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 330:124949. [PMID: 33725520 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.124949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
NaHCO3 was used as a novel activator to produce cassava ethanol sludge-based biochar. The NaHCO3-activated biochar showed superior adsorption capacity for tetracycline (154.45 mg/g) than raw biochar (34.04 mg/g). Orthogonal experiments confirmed the optimal preparation conditions of biochar. Increasing adsorbent dosage and temperature facilitated tetracycline removal. The maximum removal was 92.60% at pH = 3.0. Calcium ions and alkalinity decreased tetracycline removal. The time for attaining equilibrium was extended with increasing tetracycline concentration, but the equilibrium could be completed within 24 h. Langmuir model fitted the equilibrium data well. Kinetics process followed the Elovich model. The adsorption rate was controlled by both intraparticle and liquid film diffusion and the process was endothermic and spontaneous. The electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and pore-filling were involved in the adsorption mechanism. The findings may provide an underlying guide for sludge disposal and removal of tetracycline from wastewater in practical application.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 771:145291. [PMID: 33545482 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.145291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 138] [Impact Index Per Article: 46.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) are a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics having vast human, veterinary, and aquaculture applications. The continuous release of TCs residues into the environment and the inadequate removal through the conventional treatment systems result in its prevalent occurrence in soil, surface water, groundwater, and even in drinking water. As aqueous TCs contamination is the tip of the iceberg, and TCs possess good sorption capacity towards soil, sediments, sludge, and manure, it is insufficient to rely on the sorptive removal in the conventional water treatment plants. The severity of the TCs contamination is evident from the emergence of TCs resistance in a wide variety of microorganisms. This paper reviews the recent research on the TCs occurrence in the environmental matrices, fate in natural systems, toxic effects, and the removal methods. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination of TCs in environmental samples and the associated technology developments are analyzed. The benefits and limitations of biochemical and physicochemical removal processes are also discussed. This work draws attention to the inevitability of proper TC sludge management. This paper also gives insight into the limitations of TCs related research and the future scope of research in environmental contamination by TCs residues.

Applicability of TiO 2(B) nanosheets@hydrochar composites for adsorption of tetracycline (TC) from contaminated water. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 405:123999.

Abstract
We test the feasibility of TiO2(B)@carbon composites as adsorbents, derived from wheat straws, for tetracycline (TC) adsorption from aqueous solutions. Hydrochar (HC), biochar (BC), and hydrochar-derived pyrolysis char (HDPC) are synthesized hydrothermally from the waste and then functionalized with TiO2(B), named as 'Composite-1', 'Composite-2', and 'Composite-3', respectively. A higher loading of TiO2(B) into the HC was also synthesized for comparison, named as 'Composite-4'. To compare their physico-chemical changes before and after surface modification, the composites are characterized using FESEM-EDS, XRD, BET, FRTEM, and FTIR. The effects of H2O2 addition on TC removal are investigated. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms of TC removal are studied, while TC adsorption mechanisms are elaborated. We found that the Composite-4 has the highest TC removal (93%) at pH 7, 1 g/L of dose, and 4 h of reaction time at 50 mg/L of TC after adding H2O2 (10 mM). The TC adsorption capacities of the Composite-1 and Composite-4 are 40.65 and 49.26 mg/g, respectively. The TC removal by the Composite-1 follows the pseudo-second order. Overall, this suggests that converting the wheat straw into HC and then functionalizing its surface with TiO2(B) as a composite has added values to the waste as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The use of waste and by-products locally available in large quantities and at low cost as adsorbents can be considered an appropriate approach for improving waste management and protecting the environment. Cotton textile waste was used to prepare adsorbents (MC) via pyrolysis followed by a chemical modification with H3 PO4 . MC samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The results revealed that MC treated with 1 M H3 PO4 (MC1 ) showed an excellent adsorption performance. The single and binary adsorption of tetracycline (TC) and paracetamol (Pa) onto MC1 were studied. In a single system, TC was better adsorbed than Pa and maximum adsorption capacities qm are 87.7 mg/g and 62 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption follows the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. For a binary system, the experimental data indicate that Pa (44.04 mg/g) is better adsorbed than TC (24.13 mg/g). Adsorption equilibrium data of TC and Pa evaluated by the selectivity extended-Langmuir model in which selectivity factor was introduced provided good correlation results with the binary adsorption data. Cotton textile waste is potentially promising for the preparation of effective adsorbents for the removal of pharmaceutical residues in aqueous solutions. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Valorization of cotton textile waste into adsorbents. Adsorbents were prepared by pyrolysis at 600°C followed by chemical modification in the presence of H3 PO4 . Removal of tetracycline (TC) and paracetamol (Pa) alone or in mixtures by adsorption. Adsorbent showed high-capacity adsorption of the TC and Pa even in a mixture from solutions at low concentrations. The Langmuir and selectivity extended-Langmuir models describe the adsorption of TC and Pa alone and in mixtures, respectively.

Abstract
To date, biogenic metals have opened up a window for new applications in adsorption of contaminants. But there is still little attention to be paid in the removal of tetracycline (TC) by biogenic iron precipitation (BIP). In this paper, the BIP, from iron-based mixotrophic denitrification batch reactor, was estimated for its adsorption property of TC under various parameters to simulate the behavior in aquatic environment. The maximum adsorption capacity for TC was 195.336 mg g-1. Analyses of spectrum verified the existence of Fe3O4 and FeOOH in BIP, which was the main reason for the removal of TC. The adsorption kinetic and isotherm of TC were well fitted to Elovich and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively, indicating that the adsorption process was mainly controlled by chemical adsorption. Furthermore, we proposed a potential mechanism of adsorption: a combination of cation-π, hydrogen bonding (H-bonding), and electrostatic interaction. Additionally, the activation experiment showed that BIP could enhance the degradation of TC (more than 98.00% removal within 1.0 h) by advanced oxidation process (AOP), due to the existence of FeOOH and Fe3O4. Considering its effectiveness in both adsorption and activation performance, BIP is highlighted as an economical and eco-friendly material for TC removal and offers a promising method to resolve sludge disposal in biological treatment of iron-rich groundwater.

Abstract
Due to the negative effects of emerging contaminants on the environment, that can potentially induce deleterious effects in aquatic and human life, this paper focuses on the removal from the water of Furosemide, through the adsorption process. Indeed, only a few papers are available in the literature about the Furosemide adsorption and, chitosan films are thus proposed for this purpose as safe, sustainable, and recyclable adsorbent materials. In the present work, the effects on the adsorption process of several experimental parameters such as the pH values, ionic strength, amount of adsorbent/pollutant, and temperature values were investigated. The kinetics models, isotherms of adsorption, and the thermodynamic parameters were studied showing that the Furosemide physisorption occurred on the heterogeneous Chitosan surface, endothermically (ΔH° = +31.27 ± 3.40 kJ mol-1) and spontaneously (ΔS° = +150.00 ± 10.00 J mol-1 K-1), following a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The 90% of the pollutant was adsorbed in 2 h, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 3.5 mg × g-1. Despite these relatively low adsorption capacities, experiments of desorption were performed and 100% of adsorbed Furosemide was recovered by using concentrated NaCl solutions, proposing a low-cost and green approach, with respect to the previous literature relative to the Furosemide adsorption, fundamental for the pollutant recovery and adsorbent reuse.

Abstract
Antibiotics and pharmaceuticals related products are used to enhance public health and quality of life. The wastewater that is produced from pharmaceutical industries still contains noticeable amount of antibiotics, and this has remained one of the major environmental problems facing public health. The conventional wastewater remediation approach employed by the pharmaceutical industries for the antibiotics wastewater removal is unable to remove the antibiotics completely. Besides, municipal and livestock wastewater also contain unmetabolized antibiotics released by human and animal, respectively. The antibiotic found in wastewater leads to antibiotic resistance challenges, also emergence of superbugs. Currently, numerous technological approaches have been developed to remove antibiotics from the wastewater. Therefore, it was imperative to critically review the weakness and strength of these current advanced technological approaches in use. Besides, the conventional methods for removal of antibiotics such as Klavaroti et al., Homem and Santos also discussed. Although, membrane treatment is discovered as the ultimate choice of approach, to completely remove the antibiotics, while the filtered antibiotics are still retained on the membrane. This study found, hybrid processes to be the best solution antibiotics removal from wastewater. Nevertheless, real-time monitoring system is also recommended to ascertain that, wastewater is cleared of antibiotics.

Abstract
Pennisetum sinese Roxb is a kind of forage with high yield and high quality. However, because only the leaves are used as feed, most straw is discarded or burned, causing pollution and resources waste. In this study, a magnetic cellulose adsorbent produced by extracting cellulose from Pennisetum sinese Roxb straw was used to adsorb antibiotic tetracycline (TC) from water and can be easily separated. The physicochemical properties of the obtained cellulose samples were studied. The adsorption process was mediated by multiple mechanisms including intra-particle diffusion, chemical ion exchange, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interaction. We determined the optimal pH, contact time, initial TC concentration, and temperature before investigating the effects of humic acid and ionic strength on the adsorption process. Our results demonstrate that the magnetic cellulose is a promising adsorbent for the removal of TC from water and is worth to be studied further to develop real-world implementation strategies.

Abstract
Antibiotics are known as emergent pollutants because of their toxicological properties. Due to continuous discharge and persistence in the aquatic environment, antibiotics are detected almost in every environmental matrix. Therefore antibiotics that are polluting the aquatic environment have gained significant research interest for their removal. Several techniques have been used to remove pollutants, but appropriate technology is still to be found. This review addresses the use of modified and cheap materials for antibiotic removal from the environment.

Toxins (Basel) 2020; 12:E466. [PMID: 32708252 PMCID: PMC7405022 DOI: 10.3390/toxins12070466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Blueberry (BB) and cherry pomace were investigated as new biosorbents for aflatoxins (AFs) sequestration from buffered solutions, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Among the tested biosorbents, BB exhibited the maximum adsorption performance for AFs and hence was further selected for the optimization of experimental parameters like pH, dosage, time and initial concentration of AFs. Material characterizations via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isothermal studies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) techniques revealed useful information about the texture and chemical composition of the biosorbents. The fitting of isothermal data with different models showed the model suitability trend as: Sips model > Langmuir model > Freundlich model, where the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Sips model was 4.6, 2.9, 2.7 and 2.4 mg/g for AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2, respectively. Kinetics study revealed the fast AFs uptake by BB (50-90 min) while thermodynamics studies suggested the exothermic nature of the AFs adsorption from both, single as well as multi-toxin buffer systems, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Accrediting to the fast and efficient adsorption performance, green and facile fabrication approach and cost-effectiveness, the newly designed BB pomace can be counted as a promising contender for the sequestration of AFs and other organic pollutants.

Chemically Modified Biosorbents and Their Role in the Removal of Emerging Pharmaceutical Waste in the Water System. WATER 2020.

Abstract
Presence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PACs) as emerging contaminants in water is a major concern. Recent reports have confirmed the presence of PACs in natural and wastewater systems, which have caused several problems indicating the urgent need for their removal. The current review evaluates the role of chemically modified biosorbents in the removal of PACs in water. Reported biosorbents include plant and animal solid waste, microorganisms and bio-composite. Bio-composites exhibited better prospects when compared with other biosorbents. Types of chemical treatment reported include acid, alkaline, solvent extraction, metal salt impregnation and surface grafting, with alkaline treatment exhibiting better results when compared with other treatments. The biosorption processes mostly obeyed the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm model in a process described mainly by ionic interaction. Desorption and regeneration capacity are very important in selecting an appropriate biosorbent for the biosorption process. Depending on the type of biosorbent, the cost of water treatment per million liters of water was estimated as US $10–US $200, which presents biosorption as a cheap process compared to other known water treatment processes. However, there is a need to conduct large-scale studies on the biosorption process for removing PACs in water.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 261:110235. [PMID: 32148305 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2019] [Revised: 01/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/01/2020] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria have been used in this study for zirconia nanoparticles synthesis through green technology for adsorption driven bioremediation of tetracycline from wastewater. The characterization of synthesized nano zirconia has been performed by employing dynamic light scattering, field emission-transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and point of zero charge analysis. The zirconia nanoparticles have shown average particle size ~15 nm, monoclinic and tetragonal crystal structure with 6.41 nm of crystallite size, the presence of elemental zirconium and oxygen, and the occurrence of functional groups like O-Zr-OH, Zr-O-Zr and Zr-O bonds. The zirconia nanoparticles mediated adsorption of tetracycline has been found to be effective at solution pH 6.0 and in a very less contact time 15 min. Strong electrostatic interaction between zwitterionic form of tetracycline and protonated surface of zirconia nanoparticles is the governing adsorption mechanism in this study. The kinetic study has been performed on the basis of the tetracycline adsorption process revealing that the adsorption phenomenon follows pseudo-second order kinetic, further suggesting chemisorption of tetracycline over zirconia nanoparticles. The Langmuir isotherm model has been found to be the best fitted model among the all isotherm models indicating the involvement of monolayer uptake of tetracycline on the surface of zirconia nanoparticles. Moreover, the maximum tetracycline adsorption capacity of zirconia nanoparticles calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model is close to 526.32 mg/g. This finding is quite reasonable to accept that zirconia nanoparticle may be used as an alternative adsorbent to mitigate the tetracycline contamination in wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, biochar derived from aerobic granular sludge was modified by ZnCl2 (Zn-BC) to improve the adsorption performance of tetracycline (TC). The surface area, pores, and functional groups of Zn-BC were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the effects of initial pH, TC concentration, and temperature on TC adsorption performance were analyzed. At the same time, the adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics and diffusion models were studied. The results showed that the BET surface area and micropore volume of Zn-BC were 852.41 m2·g-1 and 0.086 cm3·g-1, respectively. The maximum adsorption performance of TC was 93.44 mg·g-1, and it was less influenced by pH. The adsorption of TC on Zn-BC agreed well with the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was a spontaneously endothermic reaction.
