Construction of an S-scheme electron transfer channel in Cu 0/CuFe 2O 4 magnetic plate column reactor for the LEV degradation: New strategy of visible Photo-Fenton system application. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:135173. [PMID: 39003812 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
The complicated loading process and easy falling off of powder catalysts still restrict the wide application of Photo-Fenton technology in practical water treatment. In this study, a magnetic fixed film plate column water treatment equipment is designed as a visible Photo-Fenton reactor to remove levofloxacin (LEV). The effect of magnetic force can ensure that the catalyst is firmly fixed, and the multi-level shallow column plate structure achieves full contact and efficient reaction between the catalyst and wastewater. Simultaneously, the Cu0/CuFe2O4 (STCCF) utilizes Cu0 to construct an S-scheme electron transfer channel, which improves the separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers and provides sufficient photo-generated electrons for the reduction of Fe (Ⅲ) and Cu (Ⅱ). The pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic constant k for the degradation of LEV in the visible Photo-Fenton system is 0.0349 min-1, which is 15.9 times that of the photocatalytic system and 4.8 times that of the Fenton system. After continuous operation for 72 h, the magnetic fixed film plate column reactor can still remove more than 90 % of LEV and 82 % of COD in the secondary effluent of simulated antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater treatment process, and the effluent is stable and meets the standard. The magnetic fixed film plate column reactor can be used for advanced treatment of antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater. This study provides a new insight into the application of the Photo-Fenton process.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the laboratory-made catalyst Ni2P-ZrO2 (NPZ) in the degradation of an antibiotic in an aqueous suspension when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. The degradation of amoxicillin (AMX) was predicted using time series forecasting through the ensemble gradient boosting model. The degradation experiments were conducted utilizing two distinct photocatalyst compositions of Nickel phosphide-zirconium dioxide (NPZ) in the proportions of 1:9 and 2:8. The most effective experimental results were obtained using a natural pH, a catalyst concentration of 0.20 g/L and reaction duration of 0.5 h after testing the different catalysts. Experimental data were used for training, validating and confirming time series predictions. The use of ensemble technique highly affected the experimental findings. The model's performance was quite satisfactory in terms of correlation coefficient (94.00%), normalized mean square error (0.01) and mean square root error (0.0911) which significantly contributed to the model's accuracy. All input variables, such as pH, catalyst dose and irradiation time, had a significant impact on the degrading efficacy. The study has demonstrated that time series forecasting can be used for predicting the degradation process precisely.

Abstract
The huge utilization of hydroxychloroquine in autoimmune infections led to an abnormal increment in its concentration in wastewater, which can pose a real risk to the environment, necessitating the development of a pretreatment technique. To do this, we are interested in researching how hydroxychloroquine degrades in contaminated water. The main goal of this investigation is to optimize the operating conditions for the sono-photodegradation of hydroxychloroquine in water using an ultrasound-assisted Fe(0)/S 2 O 8 2 - /UV system. To get adequate removal of HCQ, a chemometric method based on the Box-Behnken design was applied to optimize the influence of the empirical parameters selected, including Fe(0) dose,S 2 O 8 2 - concentration, pH, and initial HCQ concentration. The quadratic regression model representing the HCQ removal rate (η(%)) was evolved and validated by ANOVA. The optimal conditions as a result of the above-mentioned trade-off between the four input variables, with η(%) as the dependent output variable, were captured using RSM methodology and the composite desirability function approach. For HCQ full decomposition, the optimal values of the operating factors are as follows:S 2 O 8 2 - dose, 194.309 mg/L; Fe(0) quantity, 198.83 mg/L; pH = 2.017, and HCQ initial dose of 296.406 mg/L. Under these conditions, the HCQ removal rate, achieved after 60 min of reaction, attained 98.95%.

Abstract
The aim of the current study is to investigate the efficacy of the electro-Fenton process in the degradation of favipiravir drugs from aqueous solutions, which has increased in use as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was developed using a Central Composite Design (CCD) in which five independent variables, including Fe2+ concentration, current density, initial FVP concentration, pH, and reaction time, were coded with high and low levels, and the maximum removal percentage of FVP (97.8%) and COD (91.65%) were determined as responses. In the EF process, 530 mg/L H2O2 was produced in-situ by cathodic reduction of O2 in aqueous solution and thus FVP has been successfully oxidized through hydroxyl radicals. The H2O2/Fe2+ ratio was determined to be 0.51 under optimum conditions. At the end of the experiment, the maximum energy consumption was found to be 2.12 kWh per g COD. The FVP was completely mineralized in a very short time by the EF process, according to the LC-MS/MS examination. The EF process followed the pseudo first-order kinetic model with the rate constants of 0.023, 0.016 and 0.006 1/min for pH 2, 3 and 4, respectively. According to the findings of this study, the electro-Fenton process is an effective method for removing FVP from aqueous solutions. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to show the degradation and optimum conditions of FVP in aqueous solution using the electro-Fenton (EF) process.

Abstract
Currently, the presence of emerging contaminants in water sources has raised concerns worldwide due to low rates of mineralization, and in some cases, zero levels of degradation through conventional treatment methods. For these reasons, researchers in the field are focused on the use of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) as a powerful tool for the degradation of persistent pollutants. These AOPs are based mainly on the in-situ production of hydroxyl radicals (OH•) generated from an oxidizing agent (H2O2 or O2) in the presence of a catalyst. Among the most studied AOPs, the Fenton reaction stands out due to its operational simplicity and good levels of degradation for a wide range of emerging contaminants. However, it has some limitations such as the storage and handling of H2O2. Therefore, the use of the electro-Fenton (EF) process has been proposed in which H2O2 is generated in situ by the action of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, it is important to mention that the ORR is given by two routes, by two or four electrons, which results in the products of H2O2 and H2O, respectively. For this reason, current efforts seek to increase the selectivity of ORR catalysts toward the 2e− route and thus improve the performance of the EF process. This work reviews catalysts for the Fenton reaction, ORR 2e− catalysts, and presents a short review of some proposed catalysts with bifunctional activity for ORR 2e− and Fenton processes. Finally, the most important factors for electro-Fenton dual catalysts to obtain high catalytic activity in both Fenton and ORR 2e− processes are summarized.

Abstract
In nuclear industry, tributyl phosphate (TBP) is used as organic extracting solvent to separate uranium and plutonium. The spent TBP is finally discarded as the radioactive organic waste, which should be treated due to its potential risk. In this study, TBP degradation by Fenton oxidation was investigated in detail, including the optimization of operational conditions, degradation kinetics and degradation products. The optimal conditions for TBP degradation (per 10 ml) by Fenton oxidation was: 95 °C, pH 2, 150 ml 30% H2O2, and 105 ml 0.2 M Fe(II). H2O2 was continuously added with the flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, Fe(II) was intermittently added with the flow rate of 3 ml/10 min. The oil phase volume decreased with time and completely disappeared at the third hour. In contrast, the COD in water phase increased firstly and then decreased. At the end of the experiments, the COD achieved 23.8 g/L. The detection of phosphorus in water phase further confirmed the decomposition of TBP. Mono-butyl phosphate and di-butyl phosphate were identified as the intermediate products of TBP degradation. In addition, other four degradation products with the same m/z of 154 were identified, which may be derived from the hydroxylation of mono-butyl phosphate and di-butyl phosphate. Based on the degradation products, the degradation pathway of TBP was proposed. This study could provide an insight into the TBP degradation by Fenton oxidation, and an potential strategy for treating the spent radioactive organic solvent.

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
Pharmaceutical compounds have piqued the interest of researchers due to an increase in their demand, which increases the possibility of leakage into the environment. Amoxicillin (AMX) is a penicillin derivative used for the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive bacteria. AMX has a low metabolic rate in the human body, and around 80-90% is unmetabolized. As a result, AMX residuals should be treated immediately to avoid further accumulation in the environment. Advanced oxidation process techniques are an efficient way to degrade AMX. This review attempts to collect, organize, summarize, and analyze the most up to date research linked to the degradation of AMX by different advanced oxidation process systems including photocatalytic, ultrasonic, electro-oxidation, and advanced oxidation process-based on partials. The main topics investigated in this review are degradation mechanism, degradation efficiency, catalyst stability, the formation of AMX by-products and its toxicity, in addition, the influence of different experimental conditions was discussed such as pH, temperature, scavengers, the concentration of amoxicillin, oxidants, catalyst, and doping ratio. The degradation of AMX could be inhibited by very high values of pH, temperature, AMX concentration, oxidants concentration, catalyst concentration, and doping ratio. Several AMX by-products were discovered after oxidation treatment, and several of them had lower or same values of LC50 (96 h) fathead minnow of AMX itself, such as m/z 384, 375, 349, 323, 324, 321, 318, with prediction values of 0.70, 1.10, 1.10 0.42, 0.42, 0.42, and 0.42 mg/L, respectively. We revealed that there is no silver bullet system to oxidize AMX from an aqueous medium. However, it is recommended to apply hybrid systems such as Photo-electro, Photo-Fenton, Electro-Fenton, etc. Hybrid systems are capable to cover the drawbacks of the single system. This review may provide important information, as well as future recommendations, for future researchers interested in treating AMX using various AOP systems, allowing them to improve the applicability of their systems and successfully oxidize AMX from an aqueous medium.

Abstract
The fortification of food with edible insect flour can improve its nutrition profile, but also affect its techno-functional characteristics. In this study, an I-optimal design was applied to improve the rheological and textural properties of wheat flour chapatti containing 10% cricket (Acheta domesticus) flour. More specifically, the impact and optimal addition of hydrocolloids (carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, guar gum and xanthan gum) and water content were studied. For all the responses, the model and model terms were highly significant and showed the different impact of the hydrocolloids on the rheological properties. To evaluate the predictive power of the models, two sets of optimal process settings were chosen: one based on dough properties, and another on baked chapatti. For both sets, the actual responses were in the range of predicted responses for almost all properties. In addition, it was shown that using the settings based on dough properties, the actual responses were not significantly different from the control chapatti, whereas for the settings based on baked chapatti, there were differences in terms of the extensibility of both dough and chapatti. Thus, the I-optimal design is suitable to optimize the dough properties and the baked chapatti when enriching chapatti with cricket flour.

Abstract
A new simple isocratic, RP-HPLC method, was developed and validated to estimate amoxicillin (Amox) residue depletion caused by different cooking methods in broiler chicken tissue. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 1.32 and 4.00 µg mL−1, respectively. The calibration plot was linear over the concentration range of 0.05–250 µg mL−1, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) values were less than 8%. The effects of various cooking methods (boiling, pan-frying, and microwaving) on residues of Amox were conducted under different combinations of temperature and time. Moreover, the heat stability of Amox standard solutions under boiling water and cooking oil at 100°C was investigated. Amox remained stable for 5–15 min in boiling water, the concentration was significantly reduced in the range of 70–87%, and additional new peaks of the degraded compounds appeared at 30–45 min. In pan-frying, the residue remained stable for 15 min at 100°C and then depleted to 81–92% after 30–45 min. Due to dehydration, the residue concentration showed an increment from 101 to 112% at 150°C. The total decomposition of Amox was observed at 200°C, 30–45 min due to high temperature and long-time effects. In microwave cooking using 500 W, 0.5–2 min, the depletion was insignificant. This study shows that sufficient cooking temperature and time can have a significant effect on the depletion of Amox residues.

Abstract
Amoxicillin (AMX), one of the micro-amount hazardous pollutants, was frequently detected in environments, and of great risks to environments and human health. Microbial degradation is a promising method to eliminate pollutants. In this study, an efficient AMX-degrading strain, Ads-6, was isolated and characterized. Strain Ads-6, belonging to the genus Bosea, was also able to grow on AMX as the sole carbon and nitrogen source, with a removal of ~60% TOC. Ads-6 exhibited strong AMX-degrading ability at initial concentrations of 0.5-2 mM and pH 6-8. Addition of yeast extract could significantly enhance its degrading ability. Many degradation intermediates were identified by HPLC-MS, including new ones such as two phosphorylated products which were firstly defined in AMX degradation. A new AMX degradation pathway was proposed accordingly. Moreover, the results of comparative transcriptomes and proteomes revealed that β-lactamase, L, D-transpeptidase or its homologous enzymes were responsible for the initial degradation of AMX. Protocatechuate branch of the beta-ketoadipate pathway was confirmed as the downstream degradation pathway. These results in the study suggested that Ads-6 is great potential in biodegradation of antibiotics as well as in the bioremediation of contaminated environments.

Abstract
Antibiotics in the aquatic environment is a major problem because of the emergence of antibiotic resistance. The long-term ecological impact on the aquatic environment is unknown. Many sources allow entry of antibiotics into the environment, including wastewater-treatment plants (WWTPs), agricultural runoff, hospital effluent, and landfill leachate. Concentrations of antibiotics in the aquatic environment vary significantly; studies have shown fluoroquinolones, tetracycline, macrolides, sulfonamides, and penicillins to reach 2900, 1500, 9700, 21 400, and 1600 ng L-1 in wastewater effluent samples, respectively. However, concentrations are highly variable between different countries and depend on several factors including seasonal variation, prescription, and WWTP operating procedures. Likewise, the reported concentrations that cause environmental effects vary greatly between antibiotics, even within the same class; however, this predicted concentration for the antibiotics considered was frequently <1000 ngL-1 , indicating that when discharged into the environment along with treated effluent, these antibiotics have a potentially detrimental effect on the environment. Antibiotics are generally quite hydrophilic in nature; however, they can ionize in the aquatic environment to form charged structures, such as cations, zwitterions, and anions. Certain classes, particularly fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines, can adsorb onto solid matrices, including soils, sediment, and sludge, making it difficult to fully understand their chemical fate in the aquatic environment. The adsorption coefficient (Kd ) varies between different classes of antibiotics, with tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones showing the highest Kd values. The Kd values for fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, macrolides, and sulfonamides have been reported as 54 600, 7600, 130, and 1.37 L kg-1 , respectively. Factors such as pH of the environment, solid matrix (sediment/soil sludge), and ionic strength can influence the Kd ; therefore, several values exist in literature for the same compound.

Abstract
The treatment of pharmaceutical industrial wastewaters, containing the antibiotic amoxicillin (218.29 mg L-1), via some advanced oxidation processes (POA), was studied. The H2O2 photolysis process presented the highest percentage of mineralization (97%), after the total reaction time (180 min). However, the photo-Fenton process showed the highest organic carbon removal rate, mineralizing 65% of the initial concentration, in 30 min. Because of this fact, this process was studied in more detail. The initial concentration of ferrous ions (0.03-1.00 mmol L-1) did not affect the performance of the photo-Fenton process, possibly operating using concentrations of below 15 mg L-1 (0.27 mmol L-1), that is the iron content limit for discharging wastewaters established in the Brazilian environmental legislation. Furthermore, experiments were performed according to the composite experimental design technique (Doehlert matrix), analyzing the following variables: (i) the inlet molar flow rate of H2O2 (FH2O2 ) and (ii) the initial concentration of ferrous ions ([Fe2+]). Besides that, the initial mineralization rate and the total organic carbon removal percentages, measured at 5, 10, 15 and 30 min of reaction, were chosen as the response variables. It was observed that FH2O2 was the most important variable in relation to the initial degradation rate. In the optimal conditions (FH2O2 = 3.27 mmol min-1 and [Fe2+] = 0.27 mmol L-1), the photo-Fenton process achieved a percentage of organic carbon removal of 84%, in only 30 min of reaction, presenting an interesting potential for real industrial applications, combined, or not, with conventional technologies (as biological treatments, for example).

Abstract
This paper reports the obtaining of poly (vinyl alcohol) and i-carrageenan blend hydrogels by physical crosslinking (consecutive freeze-thaw cycles). The two polymers were completely miscible in the weight ratio interval used in this study, as determined by solution viscometry data. Strong interactions through hydrogen bonding and forming of mixed interpolymer crystalline domains were observed, which are responsible for the formation of stable drug release-tunable matrices. The release profiles of three model antibiotic drugs (amoxicillin, tetracycline hydrochloride, and gentamicin sulfate) were assessed in a pH interval between 3 and 7.3. They were found to be strongly dependent on the drug chemistry, mesh size of the hydrogels, swelling mechanism, and pH of the release medium. A decrease of up to 40% in the release rates and up to 10% in the diffusion coefficients of the model drugs was registered with the increase in i-carrageenan content.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) electrogenerated via two-electron oxygen reduction reaction at cathode plays an important role in electrochemical advanced oxidation processes for organic pollutants removal from wastewater. Herein, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and carbon black co-modified graphite felt electrode (MWCNTs-CB/GF) was prepared as an efficient cathode for H2O2 electrogeneration and amoxicillin removal by anodic oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (AO-H2O2) and electro-Fenton (EF) under mild pH condition. Besides, the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of MWCNTs-CB/GF were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, N2 adsorption and desorption experiment, contact angle measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and linear sweep voltammetry. Compared with GF, MWCNTs-CB/GF showed a higher H2O2 generation of 309.0 mg L-1 with a current efficiency of 60.9% (after 120 min) and more effective amoxicillin removal efficiencies of 97.5% (after 120 min) and 98.7% (after 30 min) in AO-H2O2 and EF (with 0.5 mM Fe2+) processes, under the condition of current density 12 mA cm-2 and initial pH 5.5. Meanwhile, the TOC removal efficiency was 45.2% during EF process after 120 min. Anodic oxidation, H2O2 oxidation, and methanol capture indicated that ∙OH generated via electro-activation reaction at MWCNTs-CB/GF and Fenton reaction in solution played the dominant role in amoxicillin removal. Moreover, the TOC removal was associated with ∙OH generated during Fenton reaction in the solution. The major intermediates of AMX degradation by EF process were identified using LC-MS and the possible degradation pathways were proposed containing of β-lactam ring opening, hydroxylation reaction, decarboxylation reaction, methyl groups in the thiazolidine ring oxidation reaction, bond cleavage, and rearrangement processes. All of the above results proved that MWCNTs-CB/GF was an excellent cathode for AMX degradation under mild pH condition.

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

Abstract
Increasing degradation of amoxicillin in water by low-cost advanced functional activated carbon-based materials derived from bagasse is an effective and economic way to remove the antibiotic residue pollutant and for high-valued utilization and transformation of plant wastes. In this work, bagasse was pyrolyzed and Zn2+ was activated for designing a high-efficiency bagasse-based activated carbon, which was characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, EDS, and ζ potential analyses. These analyses illustrated the mechanism of amoxicillin degradation, and microscale zero-valent zinc in bagasse-based activated carbon has a key role in amoxicillin degradation. Amoxicillin was broken down by reductive degraded radicals, which were produced by microscale zero-valent zinc corrosion in water. After the amoxicillin degradation, the byproduct of zinc hydroxide being adsorbed onto the used bagasse-based activated carbon can provide possibility of sustainable regeneration. Mass spectra analysis illustrated the main degradation products of amoxicillin. The kinetic experiments were adopted to observe the process of amoxicillin degradation, followed by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The isotherm experiments demonstrated that the maximum amoxicillin degradation capacity of bagasse-based activated carbon was about 46 mg g-1. The bagasse wastes were used as carbon source to design potential advanced activated carbon materials for increasing degradation of amoxicillin in water.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a great threat to public health and food security via the horizontal transfer in the food production chain. Oxidative degradation of amoxicillin (AMO) in aqueous solution by thermally activated persulfate (TAP) was investigated. The AMO degradation followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model at all tested conditions. The pseudo-first-order rate constants of AMO degradation well-fitted the Arrhenius equation when the reaction temperature ranged from 35°C to 60°C, with the apparent activate energy of 126.9 kJ·mol−1. High reaction temperature, high initial persulfate concentration, low pH, high Cl− concentration, and humic acid (HA) concentration increased the AMO degradation efficiency. The EPR test demonstrated that both ·OH and SO4·− were generated in the TAP system, and the radical scavenging test identified that the predominant reactive radical species were SO4·− in aqueous solution without adjusting the solution pH. In groundwater and drinking water, AMO degradation suggested that TAP could be a reliable technology for water remediation contaminated by AMO in practice.

Abstract
The conventional treatment of textile effluents is usually inefficient in removing azo dyes and can even generate more toxic products than the original dyes. The aim of the present study was to optimize the process factors in the degradation of Disperse Red 343 by Fenton and Fenton-like processes, as well as to investigate the ecotoxicity of the samples treated under optimized conditions. A Box-Behnken design integrated with the desirability function was used to optimize dye degradation, the amount of residual H2O2 [H2O2residual], and the ecotoxicity of the treated samples (lettuce seed, Artemia salina, and zebrafish in their early-life stages). Dye degradation was affected only by catalyst concentration [Fe] in both the Fenton and Fenton-like processes. In the Fenton reaction, [H2O2residual] was significantly affected by initial [H2O2] and its interaction with [Fe]; however, in the Fenton-like reaction, it was affected by initial [H2O2] only. A. salina mortality was affected by different process factors in both processes, which suggests the formation of different toxic products in each process. The desirability function was applied to determine the best process parameters and predict the responses, which were confirmed experimentally. Optimal conditions facilitated the complete degradation of the dye without [H2O2residual] or toxicity for samples treated with the Fenton-like process, whereas the Fenton process induced significant mortality for A. salina. Results indicate that the Fenton-like process is superior to the Fenton reaction to degrade Disperse Red 343.

Abstract
Amoxicillin (AMX) is a widely used penicillin-type antibiotic whose presence in the environment has been investigated. In this work, the degradation of the AMX in aqueous solutions by ozonation, ozonation with UV radiation (O3/UV), homogeneous catalytic ozonation (O3/Fe2+) and homogeneous photocatalytic ozonation (O3/Fe2+/UV) was investigated. The performance results have been compared in terms of removal of amoxicillin and total organic carbon (mineralization efficiency). In all processes, complete amoxicillin degradation was obtained after 5 min. However, low mineralization was achieved. For the best available process, the potential toxicity of AMX intermediates formed after ozonation was examined using a Fish Embryo Toxicity test. Results reveal that O3 in alkaline solution and O3/Fe2+/UV provide the highest mineralization rates. Ecotoxicity showed that no acute toxicity was observed during the exposure period of 96 h.

Abstract
In this study, treatment of an antibiotic compound amoxicillin by medium-high frequency ultrasonic irradiation and/or ozonation has been studied. Ultrasonic irradiation process was carried out in a batch reactor for aqueous amoxicillin solutions at three different frequencies (575, 861 and 1141kHz). The applied ultrasonic power was 75W and the diffused power was calculated as 14.6W/L. The highest removal was achieved at 575kHz ultrasonic frequency (>99%) with the highest pseudo first order reaction rate constant 0.04min-1 at pH 10 but the mineralization achieved was around 10%. Presence of alkalinity and humic acid species had negative effect on the removal efficiency (50% decrease). To improve the poor outcomes, ozonation had been applied with or without ultrasound. Ozone removed the amoxicillin at a rate 50 times faster than ultrasound. Moreover, due to the synergistic effect, coupling of ozone and ultrasound gave rise to rate constant of 2.5min-1 (625 times higher than ultrasound). In the processes where ozone was used, humic acid did not show any significant effect because the rate constant was so high that ozone has easily overcome the scavenging effects of natural water constituents. Furthermore, the intermediate compounds, after the incomplete oxidation mechanisms, has been analyzed to reveal the possible degradation pathways of amoxicillin through ultrasonic irradiation and ozonation applications. The outcomes of the intermediate compounds experiments and the toxicity was investigated to give a clear explanation about the safety of the resulting solution. The relevance of all the results concluded that hybrid advanced oxidation system was the best option for amoxicillin removal.

Abstract
Pemakaian obat dan sediaannya secara intensif, selain memberikan keuntungan dalam pelayanan kesehatan juga memiliki efek sekunder yaitu akumulasi limbah yang tidak diinginkan. Akumulasi zat antibiotik seperti amoksisilin di perairan dapat menyebabkan resistensi. Di lingkungan, limbah amoksisilin dapat bersama-sama dengan limbah anorganik seperti ion Ag(I). Kajian tentang fotodegradasi dilakukan dengan menggabungkan cahaya ultraviolet dan partikel semikonduktor sebagai fotokatalis. Hal tersebut dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penyinaran, keberadaan ion Ag(I), dan kondisi optimum terhadap efektivitas fotodegradasi amoksisilin yang dikatalisis TiO2dengan kehadiran ion Ag(I). Proses fotodegradasi amoksisilin dilakukan dalam suatu reaktor tertutup dilengkapi dengan satu set alat pengaduk magnetik dan lampu UV. Hasil kemudian dianalisis dengan Spektrofotometer UV untuk mengetahui konsentrasi amoksisilin sisa dan Spektrofotometer Serapan Atom (SSA) untuk mengetahui konsentrasi ion Ag(I) sisa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa amoksisilin yang terdegradasi meningkat dengan semakin lamanya waktu penyinaran karena lamanya kontak antara fotokatalis TiO2 dengan cahaya dan kontak antara amoksisilin dengan radikal •OH. Keberadaan ion Ag(I) meningkatkan hasil fotodegradasi amoksisilin karena rekombinasi radikal •OH yang berasal dari spesies hole dengan elektron tereksitasi dapat dicegah. Efektivitas fotodegradasi amoksisilin terjadi pada waktu penyinaran 90 menit, larutan amoksisilin 200 mg/L sebanyak 25 mL dengan penambahan ion Ag(I) 40 mg/L sebanyak 25 mL, dan TiO2 sebagai katalis sebanyak 20 mg. Pada kondisi tersebut fotodegradasi amoksisilin sebesar 32,40 % dan persen ion Ag(I) yang tereduksi sebesar 70,40 %.

Abstract
In this study, a multistage treatment system was proposed to treat real pharmaceutical wastewater containing the antibiotic amoxicillin. Ozonation (O3), and ozonation combined with aerobic biodegradation, were performed. The real pharmaceutical wastewater presented a high concentration of organic matter (TOC: 803 mg C·L-1 and COD: 2775 mg O2·L-1), significant amoxicillin content (50 mg L-1) and acute ecotoxicity (Aliivibrio fischeri aTU: 48.22). Ozonation proved to be effective for amoxicillin degradation (up to 99%) and the results also indicated the removal of the original colour of the wastewater, with average consumption of 1 g of ozone. However, the ozonation system alone could not achieve complete mineralization. Therefore, a combination of ozonation and biodegradation in a multistage system was proposed in order to improve cost and treatment efficiency. The multistage treatment system presented promising results, achieving degradation of more than 99% of the amoxicillin, more than 98% of the original chemical oxygen demand (COD), and 90% of initial toxicity, with the consumption of approximately 500 mg of ozone. This indicates that this system could prevent dangerous and biorecalcitrant antibiotics from entering water resources.

Abstract
In this work, Erythromycin A(EA)- degrading bacteria was isolated from the contaminated soil obtained from a pharmaceutical factory in China. The isolate designated as strain WX-J1 was identified as Ochrobactrum sp. by sequence analysis of its 16S rDNA gene. It can grow in a medium containing EA as the sole source of carbon and its optimal growth pH and temperature were 6.5 and 32°C, respectively. Under these conditions, when the initial Erythromycin A concentration was 100mg·L-1, 97% of Erythromycin A has been degraded. HPLC-MS analyses indicated that Erythromycin A degradation produced intermediates contained the following three substances: 3-depyranosyloxy erythromycin A, 7,12-dyhydroxy-6-deoxyerythronolide B, 6-deoxyerythronolide B and propionaldehyde. Since Erythromycin A-degrading Ochrobactrum sp. strain rapidly degraded Erythromycin A, this strain might be useful for bioremediation purposes.

Abstract
In this study, the solar photocatalytic process in a pilot plant with compound parabolic collectors (CPCs) was performed for amoxicillin (AMX) degradation, an antibiotic widely used in the world. The response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken statistical experiment design was used to optimize independent variables, namely TiO2 dosage, antibiotic initial concentration, and initial pH. The results showed that AMX degradation efficiency affected by positive or negative effect of variables and their interactions. The TiO2 dosage, pH, and interaction between AMX initial concentration and TiO2 dosage exhibited a synergistic effect, while the linear and quadratic term of AMX initial concentration and pH showed antagonistic effect in the process response. Response surface and contour plots were used to perform process optimization. The optimum conditions found in this regard were TiO2 dosage = 1.5 g/L, AMX initial concentration = 17 mg/L, and pH = 9.5 for AMX degradation under 240 min solar irradiation. The photocatalytic degradation of AMX after 34.95 kJUV/L accumulated UV energy per liter of solution was 84.12 % at the solar plant.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to develop and establish an in situ remediation technology coupling nano-schwertmannite/H2O2 process and electrokinetic (EK) process for the removal of phthalates (PAEs) and acetaminophen in river sediments. Test results are given as follows: (1) injection of nano-schwertmannite slurry and H2O2 (collectively, "novel oxidant") into the anode reservoir would yield ·OH radicals that then will be diffused into the sediment compartment and further transported by the electroosmotic flow and/or electrophoresis from the anode end toward the cathode to degrade PAEs and pharmaceuticals in the sediment if any; (2) an electric potential gradient of 1.5 V cm(-1) would help the removal of PAEs and acetaminophen in the blank test, which no "novel oxidants" was added to the remediation system; (3) the practice of electrode polarity reversal would maintain neutral pH for sediment after remediation; (4) injection of equally divided dose of 10 mL novel oxidant into the anode reservoir and four injection ports on the top of sediment chamber would further enhance the removal efficiency; and (5) an extension of treatment time from 14 d to 28 d is beneficial to the removal efficiency as expected. In comparison, the remediation performance obtained by the EK-assisted nano-SHM/H2O2 oxidation process is superior to that of the batch degradation test, but is comparable with other EK integrated technologies for the treatment of same contaminants. Thus, it is expected that the EK-assisted nano-SHM/H2O2 oxidation process is a viable technology for the removal of phthalate esters and pharmaceuticals from river sediments in large-scale operations.

Abstract
The feasibility of the application of the Photo-Fenton process in the treatment of aqueous solution contaminated by Tylosin antibiotic was evaluated. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to evaluate and optimize the effect of hydrogen peroxide, ferrous ion concentration and initial pH as independent variables on the total organic carbon (TOC) removal as the response function. The interaction effects and optimal parameters were obtained by using MODDE software. The significance of the independent variables and their interactions was tested by means of analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a 95% confidence level. Results show that the concentration of the ferrous ion and pH were the main parameters affecting TOC removal, while peroxide concentration had a slight effect on the reaction. The optimum operating conditions to achieve maximum TOC removal were determined. The model prediction for maximum TOC removal was compared to the experimental result at optimal operating conditions. A good agreement between the model prediction and experimental results confirms the soundness of the developed model.

Abstract
A novel plasmonic photocatalyst, Au/Pt/g-C3N4, was prepared by a facile calcination-photodeposition technique. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and the results demonstrated that the Au and Pt nanoparticles (7-15 nm) were well-dispersed on the surfaces of g-C3N4. The Au/Pt codecorated g-C3N4 heterostructure displayed enhanced photocatalytic activity for antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) degradation, and the degradation rate was 3.4 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4 under visible light irradiation. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Au and electron-sink function of Pt nanoparticles, which improve the optical absorption property and photogenerated charge carriers separation of g-C3N4, synergistically facilitating the photocatalysis process. Finally, a possible photocatalytic mechanism for degrading TC-HCl by Au/Pt/g-C3N4 heterostructure was tentatively proposed.

Abstract
The contamination of the aquatic environment by non-metabolized and metabolized antibiotic residues has brought the necessity of alternative treatment steps to current water decontamination technologies. This work assessed the feasibility of using a multistage treatment system for amoxicillin (AMX) spiked solutions combining: i) a biological treatment process using an enriched culture to metabolize AMX, with ii) a solar photocatalytic system to achieve the removal of the metabolized transformation products (TPs) identified via LC-MS, recalcitrant to further biological degradation. Firstly, a mixed culture (MC) was obtained through the enrichment of an activated sludge sample collected in an urban wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Secondly, different aqueous matrices spiked with AMX were treated with the MC and the metabolic transformation products were identified. Thirdly, the efficiency of two solar assisted photocatalytic processes (TiO2/UV or Fe(3+)/Oxalate/H2O2/UV-Vis) was assessed in the degradation of the obtained TPs using a lab-scale prototype photoreactor equipped with a compound parabolic collector (CPC). Highest AMX specific biodegradation rates were obtained in buffer and urban wastewater (WW) media (0.10 ± 0.01 and 0.13 ± 0.07 g(AMX) g(biomass)(-1) h(-1), respectively). The resulting TPs, which no longer presented antibacterial activity, were identified as amoxicilloic acid (m/z = 384). The performance of the Fe(3+)/Oxalate/H2O2/UV-Vis system in the removal of the TPs from WW medium was superior to the TiO2/UV process (TPs no longer detected after 40 min (QUV = 2.6 kJ L(-1)), against incomplete TPs removal after 240 min (QUV = 14.9 kJ L(-1)), respectively).

Abstract
Despite bimetallic Fe/Ni nanoparticles have been extensively used to remediate groundwater, they have not been used for the catalytic degradation of amoxicillin (AMX). In this study, bentonite-supported bimetallic Fe/Ni (B-Fe/Ni) nanoparticles were used to degrade AMX in aqueous solution. More than 94% of AMX was removed using B-Fe/Ni, while only 84% was removed by Fe/Ni at an initial concentration of 60 mg L(-1) within 60 min due to bentonite serving as the support mechanism, leading to a decrease in aggregation of Fe/Ni nanoparticles, which was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The formation of iron oxides in the B-Fe/Ni after reaction with AMX was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The main factors controlling the degradation of AMX such as the initial pH of the solution, dosage of B-Fe/Ni, initial AMX concentration, and the reaction temperature were discussed. The possible degradation mechanism was proposed, which was based on the analysis of degraded products by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
