Abstract
This study investigates the utilization of carbon dots (CDs) from neem leaves (Azadirachta indica) decorated onto cadmium sulfide (CdS) for the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin. A comparative study of ciprofloxacin degradation with pristine CdS and CD decorated CdS demonstrated high degradation of ∼ 75 % with CD/CdS when compared to bare CdS (∼68 %). Process optimization studies were further carried out with CD/CdS catalysts at different solution pH (4-10), feed concentrations (10-50 mg/L), catalyst loadings (25-125 mg/L), temperatures (10 - 30 °C), and lamp power (25, 50, 250 W and sunlight). Higher temperatures, combined with a solution pH of 7 and catalyst loading of 100 mg/L favored the enhanced degradation of 20 mg/L of ciprofloxacin. The ciprofloxacin degradation rate increased linearly with temperature with an apparent activation energy of 27 kJ mol-1. The CD/CdS photocatalyst demonstrated maximum degradation rates with higher lamp powers while it also showed remarkable performance under natural sunlight achieving the same degradation within 3 h.

Abstract
Bacterial-induced lower respiratory tract infections are a growing global health concern, exacerbated by the inefficacy of conventional antibiotics and delivery methods to effectively target the lower respiratory tract, leading to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. To address this challenge, this work engineers PBP2a antibody-presenting membrane nanovesicles (AMVs) specifically designed to target the penicillin-binding protein variant on the surface of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Concurrently, this work develops pure ciprofloxacin nanoparticles (NanoCip) that, for the first time, exhibits exceptional self-generated sonodynamic properties, attributed to hydrogen-bond-driven self-assembly, while maintaining their inherent pharmacological efficacy. These NanoCip particles are integrated with AMVs to create a novel biomimetic nanomedicine, AMV@NanoCip. This formulation demonstrated remarkable MRSA-targeting affinity in both in vitro and in vivo models, significantly enhancing antibacterial activity. Upon ultrasound stimulation, AMV@NanoCip achieves over 99.99% sterilization of MRSA in vitro, with a reduction exceeding 5.14 Log CFU. Prokaryotic transcriptomic analysis further elucidates the synergistic mechanisms by which AMV@NanoCip, coupled with ultrasound, disrupts the MRSA exoskeleton. In a MRSA-induced pneumonia animal model, AMV@NanoCip+US results in a substantial bacterial load reduction in the lungs (99.99%, 4.02 Log CFU). This sequential treatment strategy (adhesion-membrane disruption-synergistic therapy) offers significant promise as an innovative therapeutic approach for combating bacterial infections.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely prioritized pharmaceuticals frequently adopted in medication for addressing numerous ailments of humans and animals. However, the non-judicious disposal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) with concentration levels exceeding threshold limit in an aqueous environment has been the matter of growing concern nowadays. CIP is found in various waterways with appreciable mobility due to its limited decay in solidified form. Hence, the effective eradication strategy of this non-steroidal anti-inflammatory antibiotic from aqueous media is pivotal for preventing the users and the biosphere from their hazardous impacts. Reportedly several customary techniques like reverse osmosis, precipitation, cross-filtration, nano-filtration, ion exchange, microbial remediation, and adsorption have been employed to eliminate CIP from water. Out of them, adsorption is ascertained to be a potential method because of lesser preliminary investment costs, ease of operation, greater efficiency, less energy usage, reduced chemical and biological slurry production, and ready availability of precursor materials. Towards remediation of ciprofloxacin-laden water, plenty of researchers have used different adsorbents. However, the present-day challenge is opting the promising sorbent and its application towards industrial scale-up which is vital to get reviewed. In this article, adsorbents of diverse origins are reviewed in terms of their performances in CIP removal. The review stresses the impact of various factors on sorptive assimilation of CIP, adsorption kinetics, isotherms, mechanism of ionic interaction, contrivances for CIP detection, cost estimation and reusability assessments of adsorbents also that may endorse the next-generation investigators to decide the efficacious, environmental appealing and cost-competitive adsorbents for effective riddance of CIP from wastewater.

Abstract
Antibiotics (ABX) residues frequently occurred in water and cow milk. This work aims to understand the kinetics and mechanisms of sonolytic degradation of four ABX, i.e. ceftiofur hydrochloride (CEF), sulfamonomethoxine sodium (SMM), marbofloxacin (MAR), and oxytetracycline (OTC) in water and milk. In both water and milk, the sonolytic degradation of ABX follows pseudo-first order (PFO) kinetics well (R2: 0.951-0.999), with significantly faster ABX degradation in water (PFO kinetics constants (k1): 1.5 × 10-3-1.2 × 10-1 min-1) than in milk (k1: 3.5 × 10-4-5.6 × 10-2 min-1). The k1 values for SMM degradation in water increased by 118% with ultrasonic frequency (40-120 kHz), 174% with ultrasonic frequency (80-500 kHz), 649% with ultrasonic power (73-259 W), 22% with bulk temperature (12-40℃), and by 68% with reaction volume (50-250 mL), respectively, in other things being equal. The relevant k1 values in milk increased by 326%, 231%, 122%, 10% as well as 82% with the above same effective factors, respectively. The oxidation by free radicals generated in situ dominates ABX degradation, and the hydrophobic CEF (54.0-971.7 nM min-1) and SMM (39.2-798.4 nM min-1) underwent faster degradation than the hydrophilic MAR (33.9-751.9 nM min-1) and OTC (33.8-545.3 nM min-1) in both water and milk. Adding an extra 0.5 mM H2O2 accelerated SMM degradation by 19% in water and 33% in milk. After 130-150 min sonication of 100 mL of 2.0 mg L-1 (6.62 μM) SMM in various milk with 500 kHz and 259 W, the residue concentrations (52.9-96.3 μg L-1) can meet the relevant maximum residue limit (100 μg L-1).

Abstract
Pure zero-valent iron (ZVI) was supported on silica and starch to enhance the activation of persulfate (PS) for tetracycline degradation. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by microscopic and spectroscopic methods to assess their physical and chemical properties. High tetracycline removal (67.55%) occurred using silica modified ZVI (ZVI-Si)/PS system due to the improved hydrophilicity and colloidal stability of ZVI-Si. Incorporating light into the ZVI-Si/PS system improved the degradation performance by 9.45%. Efficient degradation efficiencies were recorded at pH 3-7. The optimum operating parameters determined by the response surface methodology were PS concentration of 0.22 mM, initial tetracycline concentration of 10 mg/L, and ZVI-Si dose of 0.46 g/L, respectively. The rate of tetracycline degradation declined with increasing tetracycline concentration. The degradation efficiencies of tetracycline were 77%, 76.4%, 75.7%, 74.5%, and 73.75% in five repetitive runs at pH 7, 20 mg/L tetracycline concentration, 0.5 g/L ZVI-Si dose, and 0.1 mM PS concentration. The degradation mechanism was explained, and sulfate radicals were the principal reactive oxygen species. The degradation pathway was proposed based on liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Tetracycline degradation was favorable in distilled and tap water. The ubiquitous presence of inorganic ions and dissolved organic matter in the lake, drain, and seawater matrices interfered with the tetracycline degradation. The high reactivity, degradation performance, stability, and reusability of ZVI-Si substantiate the potential practical application of this material for the degradation of real industrial effluents.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to assess the efficiency of antibiotic degradation applying different chemical treatment methods and their combinations. Thus, improvement in the efficiency of these methods when combined was quantified. The methods tested to degrade/mineralize the antibiotics amoxicillin (AMX) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) under different pH conditions (4, 7 and 10) were ultra-violet irradiation (UV254 nm), ultrasound (US), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ozone (O3) alone and in combination. The results showed that individual methods were only partially efficient in the degradation/mineralization of antibiotics, except for ozonation at alkaline pH. In the combined methods, the best performance was obtained with US/UV/H2O2/O3 (pH 10, 20-min treatment), where the degradation rates for the antibiotics were 99.8% for CIP and 99.9% for AMX. For the mineralization efficiency the values obtained were 71.3% for CIP and 79.2% for AMX. The results of this study could contribute to the development and improvement of wastewater treatment aimed at avoiding the presence of residual antibiotics in the environment.

Abstract
Antibiotics (ABX) residues occur frequently in milk, causing considerable wastage of medicated milk and serious economic losses, and making the issue a burden for the dairy industry. Improper disposal of medicated milk harms dairy production, animal welfare, and the environment. This work studies the use of ozonation in a vortex reactor for removing ceftiofur hydrochloride (CEF), sulfamonomethoxine sodium (SMM), marbofloxacin (MAR) and oxytetracycline (OTC) from milk. In terms of residual concentration, O3 efficiency and the degradation kinetics of the various O3-involving processes in the vortex reactor, ABX removal via ozonation is better using stronger vortexing, which induces hydrodynamic cavitation. CEF undergoes the fastest degradation, followed by SMM, MAR, and OTC. High ABX hydrophobicity favors ABX degradation via ozonation, O3/H2O2, and O3/Na2S2O8. ABX oxidation by •OH at the O3 gas-bubble/milk interface is the principle degradation pathway, except for MAR. ABX degradation follows pseudo-first-order kinetics and is affected by initial ABX concentration, O3 concentration/flow rate, reaction temperature, and milk components to varying degrees. Under optimal ozonation conditions, ABX residues meet the maximum limits as set by the European Commission and no antimicrobial activity was observed. The decontaminated milk was therefore suggested to be reused as calf food, animal feed, organic fertilizer, etc.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation procedures (AOPs) refer to a variety of technical procedures that produce OH radicals to sufficiently oxidize wastewater, organic pollutant streams, and toxic effluents from industrial, hospital, pharmaceutical and municipal wastes. Through the implementation of such procedures, the (post) treatment of such waste effluents leads to products that are more susceptible to bioremediation, are less toxic and possess less pollutant load. The basic mechanism produces free OH radicals and other reactive species such as superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide, etc. A basic classification of AOPs is presented in this short review, analyzing the processes of UV/H2O2, Fenton and photo-Fenton, ozone-based (O3) processes, photocatalysis and sonolysis from chemical and equipment points of view to clarify the nature of the reactive species in each AOP and their advantages. Finally, combined AOP implementations are favored through the literature as an efficient solution in addressing the issue of global environmental waste management.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues in water are general health and environmental risks due to the antibiotic-resistance phenomenon. Sonication has been included among the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) used to remove recalcitrant contaminants in aquatic environments. Sonochemical processes have shown substantial advantages, including cleanliness, safety, energy savings and either negligible or no secondary pollution. This review provides a wide overview of the different protocols and degradation mechanisms for antibiotics that either use sonication alone or in hybrid processes, such as sonication with catalysts, Fenton and Fenton-like processes, photolysis, ozonation, etc.

SAOPs are powerful methods for refractory pollutants degradation due to the free radicals (e.g., •OH and •H) generated by water pyrolysis and extremely high temperature and pressure in and around cavitation bubbles. Reports on various additives for the improvement of sonochemical pollutants degradation including oxidants, inorganic anions, etc. have been made. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the ultrasound (US) alone and sono-hybrid systems for various pollutants degradation. In this paper, the degradation efficiency of various pollutants in sono-hybrid systems are elucidated in detail, and particular emphasis is placed on the reaction mechanism of additives in US for the enhancement of pollutants degradation. The problems on the applications of the current sono-hybrid systems are identified and discussed, and the outlooks for further in-depth studies on the challenges and some research needs for the applications of SAOPs for the removal of organic pollutants from aquatic systems are made at the end.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles are being intensively investigated as drug carriers. Their efficiency could be enhanced if the drug release can be triggered using an external stimulus such as ultrasound. This approach is possible using current commercial apparatus that combine focused ultrasound with MRI to perform ultrasonic surgery. In this approach, nanoparticles made of a perfluoro-octyl bromide core and a thick polymeric (PLGA-PEG) shell may represent suitable drug carriers. Indeed, their perfluorocarbon core are detectable by 19F MRI, while their polymeric shell can encapsulate drugs. However, their applicability in ultrasound-triggered drug delivery remains to be proven. To do so, we used Nile red as a model drug and we measured its release from the polymeric shell by spectrofluorometry. In the absence of ultrasound, only a small amount of Nile red release was measured (<5%). Insonations were performed in a controlled environment using a 1.1 MHz transducer emitting tone bursts for a few minutes, whereas a focused broadband hydrophone was used to detect the occurrence of cavitation. In the absence of detectable inertial cavitation, less than 5% of Nile red was released. In the presence of detectable inertial cavitation, Nile red release was ranging from 10% to 100%, depending of the duty cycle, acoustic pressure, and tank temperature (25 or 37 °C). Highest releases were obtained only for duty cycles of 25% at 37 °C and 50% at 25 °C and for a peak-to-peak acoustic pressure above 12.7 MPa. Electron microscopy and light scattering measurements showed a slight modification in the nanoparticle morphology only at high release contents. The occurrence of strong inertial cavitation is thus a prerequisite to induce drug release for these nanoparticles. Since strong inertial cavitation can lead to many unwanted biological effects, these nanoparticles may not be suitable for a therapeutic application using ultrasound-triggered drug delivery.

Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) have pernicious effects on all kinds of life forms because of their toxicological effects and are found profoundly in various wastewater treatment plant influents, hospital effluents, and surface waters. The concentrations of different pharmaceuticals were found in alarmingly high concentrations in various parts of the globe, and it was also observed that the concentration of PhACs present in the water could be eventually related to the socio-economic conditions and climate of the region. Drinking water equivalent limit for each PhAC has been calculated and compared with the occurrence data from various continents. Since these compounds are recalcitrant towards conventional treatment methods, while advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have shown better efficiency in degrading these PhACs. The performance of the AOPs have been evaluated based on percentage removal, time, and electrical energy consumed to degrade different classes of PhACs. Ozone based AOPs were found to be favorable because of their low treatment time, low cost, and high efficiency. However, complete degradation cannot be achieved by these processes, and various transformation products are formed, which may be more toxic than the parent compounds. The various transformation products formed from various PhACs during treatment have been highlighted. Significant stress has been given on the role of various process parameters, water matrix, oxidizing radicals, and the mechanism of degradation. Presence of organic compounds, nitrate, and phosphate usually hinders the degradation process, while chlorine and sulfate showed a positive effect. The role of individual oxidizing radicals, interfering ions, and pH demonstrated dissimilar effects on different groups of PhACs.

Abstract
Degradation of triclosan (TCS) by multifrequency ultrasound (US) was studied at high and low frequencies. Frequency effect on initial degradation rates was analyzed, and an optimum frequency was found. Power density always has a positive effect on degradation rates over the whole equipment work range. A reaction mechanism similar to that proposed by Serpone resulted in a pseudo-linear model that fitted statistically better than the nonlinear model proposed by Okitsu. Pulsed US showed a positive effect on degradation rates; however, simultaneous analysis of the effect of power, frequency, pulse time, and silent time did not show a clear trend for degradation as a function of pulse US variables. According to these results and those for degradation in the presence of radical scavengers, it was concluded that US TCS degradation was taking place in the bubble/liquid interface. A toxicity test was conducted by Microtox®, showing a decrease in toxicity as TCS concentration decreased and increase in toxicity after total depletion of TCS. Eight possible degradation by-products were identified by GC-MS analysis, and a degradation pathway was proposed.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals have been focusing international attention for a few decades. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a common drug that is widely found in hospital and wastewater treatment plants effluents, as well as in rivers. In this work, the feasibility of CIP degradation by ultrasound process at high frequency is discussed and sonolysis, sonolysis with hydrogen peroxide and sono-Fenton are evaluated. The amounts of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ions (Fe2+) needed were optimized using response surface methodology. Best results were obtained with the sono-Fenton process resulting in a total pharmaceutical degradation within 15 min and a mineralization greater than 60% after 1 h. Optimal conditions were tested on a real matrix from a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Even if the degradation of the pollutants by sono-Fenton was hampered, the removal efficiency of both CIP and total organic carbon (TOC) is interesting as an increase in the biodegradability of the wastewater is found. These results show that sono-Fenton oxidation can be a promising pretreatment process for pharmaceutical-containing wastewaters.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals, which are frequently detected in natural and wastewater bodies as well as drinking water have attracted considerable attention, because they do not readily biodegrade and may persist and remain toxic. As a result, pharmaceutical residues pose on-going and potential health and environmental risks. To tackle these emerging contaminants, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as photo-Fenton, sonolysis, electrochemical oxidation, radiation and ozonation etc. have been applied to remove pharmaceuticals. These processes utilize the high reactivity of hydroxyl radicals to progressively oxidize organic compounds to innocuous products. This review provides an overview of the findings from recent studies, which have applied AOPs to degrade pharmaceutical compounds. Included is a discussion that links various factors of TiO2-mediated photocatalytic treatment to its effectiveness in degrading pharmaceutical residues. This review furthermore highlights the success of AOPs in the removal of pharmaceuticals from different water matrices and recommendations for future studies are outlined.

Abstract
This study investigated sulfamethazine (SMT) ultrasound degradation, enhanced by iodine radicals, generated by potassium iodide (KI) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in situ. The results showed that the ultrasound/H2O2/KI (US/H2O2/KI) combination treatment achieved an 85.10 ± 0.45% SMT removal (%) in 60 min under the following conditions: pH = 3.2, ultrasound power of 195 W, initial SMT concentration of 0.04 mmol·L-1, H2O2 concentration of 120 mmol·L-1, and KI concentration of 2.4 mmol·L-1. UV-Vis spectrophotometric monitoring of molecular iodine (I2) and triiodide (I3-) revealed a correlation between the SMT degradation and the iodine change in the solution. Quenching experiments using methanol, t-butanol and thiamazole as radical scavengers indicated that iodine radicals, such as I and I2-, were more important than hydroxyl radicals (HO) for SMT degradation. SMT degradation under the US/H2O2/KI treatment followed pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The activation energy (Ea) of SMT degradation was 7.75 ± 0.61 kJ·mol-1, which suggested the reaction was controlled by the diffusion step. Moreover, TOC removal was monitored, and the obtained results revealed that it was not as effective as SMT degradation under the US/H2O2/KI system.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are among the most potent antimicrobial agents, which have seen their increasing use as human and veterinary medicines to control bacterial infections. FQs have been extensively found in surface water and municipal wastewaters, which has raised great concerns due to their negative impacts to humans and ecological health. It is of utmost importance that FQs are treated before their release into the environment. This paper reviews oxidative removal of FQs using reactive oxygen (O3 and OH), sulfate radicals (SO4-), and high-valent transition metal (MnVII and FeVI) species. The role of metals in enhancing the performance of reactive oxygen and sulfur species is presented. The catalysts can significantly enhance the production of OH and/or SO4- radicals. At neutral pH, the second-order rate constants (k, M-1s-1) of the reactions between FQs and oxidants follow the order as k(OH)>k(O3)>k(FeVI)>k(MnVII). Moieties involved to transform target FQs to oxidized products and participation of the catalysts in the reaction pathways are discussed. Generally, the piperazinyl ring of FQs was found as the preferential attack site by each oxidant. Meanwhile, evaluation of aquatic ecotoxicity of the transformation products of FQs by these treatments is summarized.

Abstract
TiO2/Montmorillonite (TiO2/MMT) nanocomposite as sonocatalyst was produced by immobilizing synthesized TiO2 on the surface of montmorillonite. The characteristics of produced nanocomposite were investigated using XRD, XRF, FTIR, TEM, SEM, EDX, UV-vis DRS and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses. The synthesized TiO2 and TiO2/MMT samples were applied as catalysts for sonocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The performance of the TiO2/MMT was greater than pure TiO2 sample in treatment of CIP solution. The degradation efficiency of the CIP by sonocatalytic process was affected by solution pH, catalyst dosage, initial CIP concentrations and ultrasonic power. Degradation efficiency of 65.01% was obtained at the pH of 6, catalyst dosage of 0.2gL-1, initial CIP concentration of 10mgL-1 and ultrasonic power of 650WL-1. It was observed that the presence of inorganic and organic scavengers suppressed the performance of sonocatalytic process. The stability of the nanocomposite was studied in several successive experiments, and the degradation efficiency declined only 61.48% after 4 repeated experiments. The main degradation by-products were recognized by GC-MS method to propose the possible sonocatalytic mechanism for the degradation of CIP.

Abstract
The treatability of ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic was investigated using a single aerobic, a single anaerobic, an anaerobic/aerobic sequential reactor system, a sonicator and a photocatalytic reactor with TiO2 nanoparticles in a raw hospital wastewater in Izmir, Turkey. The effects of increasing organic loading on the performance of all biological systems were investigated, while the effects of power and time on the yields of sonication and photocatalysis were determined. The maximum COD and CIP yields were 95% and 83% in anaerobic/aerobic sequential reactor system at an HRT of 10 days and at an OLR of 0.19 g COD/L × day after 50 days of incubation, respectively. The maximum CH4 gas production was 580 mL day(-1) at an HRT of 6.7 days. The maximum COD and CIP yields were 95% and 81% after 45 min sonication time at a power of 640 W and a frequency of 35 kHz while the maximum yield of COD and CIP were 98% and 88% after 45 min UV irradiation time with a UV power of 210 W using 0.5 g L(-1) TiO2. Among the aforementioned treatment processes, it was found that the highest treatment yields for COD (98%) and CIP (88%) pollutants were obtained with the photocatalytic process due to high OH((●)) radical productions.

Abstract
A series of six pharmaceuticals were degraded by continuous wave (CW) and pulsed wave (PW) ultrasound at 205 kHz using deionized water, wastewater effluent, and its isolated organic matter matrices. In deionized water, we observed that hydrophobicity is superior to diffusivity (D(W)) for predicting degradation kinetics. Enhancements in degradation kinetics by the PW mode were greatest for the highest DW (i.e., fluorouracil (5-FU)) and K(OW) (i.e., lovastatin (LOVS)) compounds, indicating that a pharmaceutical with either high diffusivity and low hydrophobicity or low diffusivity and high hydrophobicity benefits from additional time to populate the bubble-water interface during the silent cycle of PW ultrasound. Degradation of 5-FU and LOVS were inhibited by wastewater effluent to a greater extent than the other pharmaceuticals. In addition, a pulse enhancement (PE) for 5-FU and LOVS was not present in wastewater effluent. Irradiating 5-FU and LOVS in hydrophobic (HPO), transphilic (TPI), and hydrophilic (HPI) fractions of effluent organic matter (EfOM) showed that the TPI fraction reduced the PE the most, followed by the HPI and HPO fractions. The smaller size of the TPI over the HPO fraction and higher hydrophobicity of TPI over HPI implicate both size and hydrophobicity of EfOM in hindering degradation of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) and ibuprofen (IBU), a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic compound, respectively, were degraded by ultrasound at the frequencies of 20 and 620 kHz in aqueous solution containing matrix organic compounds. Compared to in its absence, in the presence of terephthalate (TA), a commonly used OH scavenger, CIPRO degradation was inhibited by a factor of 40-1500 depending on the frequency and initial concentration. However, the degradation rates of IBU were only reduced between 30% and 80% with TA present compared to in its absence. Similar to TA, the presence of Suwannee River Fulvic Acid (SRFA) inhibited CIPRO degradation to a greater extent than that of IBU but overall inhibition by SRFA was dramatically less than by TA. Although both TA and SRFA inhibited the degradation of CIPRO and IBU, the mechanisms of inhibition are different. TA reacts with OH in bulk solution and our evidence also indicates that it accumulates on or interacts with cavitation bubbles. On the other hand, SRFA stays in bulk solution, quenching OH and/or associating with the target compounds.

Abstract
In this study, sonolysis (US), a dual oxidant system (DOX), and ultrasound coupled with a dual oxidant system (US/DOX) were employed to degrade real pharmaceutical effluent. In a DOX system, two effective oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and activated persulphate were used simultaneously. In this work, for the first time, an easily available waste material, iron swarf, was used as an activator for persulphate oxidation. Iron swarf coupled with an ultrasound system showed better activation. High iron dosage, acidic pH and high temperature favoured degradation with both DOX and US/DOX. Sequential addition of iron swarf produced better results compared to single-step addition. The activation energy was found to be 47.25 and 23.47 kJ/mol for DOX and US/DOX, respectively. The biodegradability index of the effluent was enhanced from 0.13 to 0.81 after treatment with US/DOX.

Abstract
The concern about the fate of pharmaceutical products has raised owing to the increasing contamination of rivers, lakes and groundwater. The aim of this paper is to evaluate two different processes for paracetamol removal. The catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of paracetamol on activated carbon was investigated both as a water treatment technique using an autoclave reactor and as a regenerative treatment of the carbon after adsorption in a sequential fixed bed process. Three activated carbons (ACs) from different source materials were used as catalysts: two microporous basic ACs (S23 and C1) and a meso- and micro-porous acidic one (L27). During the first CWAO experiment the adsorption capacity and catalytic performance of fresh S23 and C1 were higher than those of fresh L27 despite its higher surface area. This situation changed after AC reuse, as finally L27 gave the best results after five CWAO cycles. Respirometry tests with activated sludge revealed that in the studied conditions the use of CWAO enhanced the aerobic biodegradability of the effluent. In the ADOX process L27 also showed better oxidation performances and regeneration efficiency. This different ageing was examined through AC physico-chemical properties.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2012; 19:642-651.

Abstract
Sonocatalytic degradation of various organic dyes (Congo Red, Reactive Blue 4, Methyl Orange, Rhodamine B and Methylene Blue) catalyzed by powder and nanotubes TiO(2) was studied. Both catalysts were characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), surface analyzer, Raman spectroscope and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA). Sonocatalytic activity of powder and nanotubes TiO(2) was elucidated based on the degradation of various organic dyes. The former catalyst was favorable for treatment of anionic dyes, while the latter was more beneficial for cationic dyes. Sonocatalytic activity of TiO(2) nanotubes could be up to four times as compared to TiO(2) powder under an ultrasonic power of 100 W and a frequency of 42 kHz. This was associated with the higher surface area and the electrostatic attraction between dye molecules and TiO(2) nanotubes. Fourier transform-infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) was used to identify changes that occurred on the functional group in Rhodamine B molecules and TiO(2) nanotubes after the reaction. Sonocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B by TiO(2) nanotubes apparently followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption kinetic model with surface reaction rate of 1.75 mg/L min. TiO(2) nanotubes were proven for their high potential to be applied in sonocatalytic degradation of organic dyes.
