Mathew J, Bhardwaj G, Pulicharla R, Rezai P, Brar SK. Innovating Ferro-sonication approach for extracting microplastics from wastewater. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 951:175595. [PMID: 39154992 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
For accurate and reliable analysis of microplastics (MPs) in wastewater (WW), it is imperative to comprehend the significance of pre-treating WW before analysis. The suspended solids (SS) in the matrix tend to adhere to the MPs during filtration, which interferes with the detection of the MPs. In this regard, the present study aims to develop and optimize a pretreatment method to improve the extraction efficiency of MPs from WW by reducing the SS. A combination of the Fenton reaction and ultrasonication, ferro-sonication (Fe-UlS), was proposed to digest and eliminate the SS from WW. This hybrid pretreatment, Fe-UlS, was optimized for ultrasonication amplitude, treatment time, and hydrogen peroxide dose using response surface methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken design, achieving a desirability of 0.984. The optimum conditions for the Fe-UlS, such as the (1:1) Fenton reagent ratio (0.05 M FeSO4: 30 % H2O2), ultrasonication amplitude (31 %), and total process time (30 min) were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). The developed method was then employed for the extraction of spiked polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) MPs in real WW and found efficient in removing 83 % of the TSS present in the primary influent were in 30 min at a temperature of 45 °C. Also, the method did not affect the physio-chemical characteristics of the MPs; however, the thermal analysis of PE and PP MPs showed a statistically significant decrease in the melting temperature, as proven by paired t-test analysis. Further, a non-targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis proved that Fe-UlS is a stable process, as it did not cause any leaching of MPs under the optimum pretreatment conditions. Finally, Laser Direct-Infrared Imaging (LD-IR) analysis was conducted to validate the developed Fe-UlS pretreatment approach for MP analysis in real WW. About 3434 MPs were detected in 100 mL of WW primary influent, within the size range of 9 to 500 μm. This hybrid pretreatment approach not only streamlines WW sample processing but also reduces the required concentration of Fenton reagent and processing time, yielding accurate and reliable results for monitoring MPs in WW.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 341:122842. [PMID: 37940020 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Emerging contaminants are chemicals generated due to the usage of pesticide, endocrine disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products and are liberated into the environment in trace quantities. The emerging contaminants eventually become a greater menace to living beings owing to their wide range and inhibitory action. To diminish these emerging contaminants from the environment, an Advanced Oxidation Process was considered as an efficient option. The Advanced Oxidation Process is an efficient method for mineralizing fractional or generous contaminants due to the generation of reactive species. The primary aim of this review paper is to provide a thorough knowledge on different Advanced Oxidation Process methods and to assess their mineralization efficacy of emerging contaminants. This study indicates the need for an integrated process for enhancing the treatment efficiency and overcoming the drawbacks of the individual Advanced Oxidation Process. Further, its application concerning technical and economic aspects is reviewed. Until now, most of the studies have been based on lab or pilot scale and do not represent the actual scenario of the emerging contaminant mineralization. Thus, the scaling up of the process was discussed, and the major challenges in large scale implementation were pointed out.

Fenton oxidation treatment of oxytetracycline fermentation residues: Harmless performance and bioresource properties. CHEMOSPHERE 2023:139201. [PMID: 37348618 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
The pharmaceutical factories of oxytetracycline (OTC) massively produce OTC fermentation residues (OFRs). The high content of residual OTC and antibiotic resistance genes in OFRs must to be considered and controlled at an acceptable level. This study therefore investigated the applicability of Fenton oxidation in OTC degradation and resistant gene inactivation of OFRs. The results revealed that Fe2+ as catalyzer could very rapidly activate H2O2 to produce HO•, leading to instantaneous degradation of OTC. The optimum conditions for OTC removal were 60 mM H2O2 and 140 mg/L Fe2+ under pH 7. After Fenton oxidation treatment, the release of water-soluble polysaccharides, NO3-N, and PO4-P was enhanced, whereas for proteins and NH3-N were reduced. Three soluble fluorescence components (humic, tryptophan-like, and humic acid-like substances) were identified through fluorescence spectra with parallel factor analysis, and their reduction exceeded 50% after Fenton oxidation. There were twelve intermediates and three degradation pathways of OTC in OFRs during Fenton process. According to toxicity prediction, the comprehensive toxicity of OTC in OFRs was alleviated via Fenton oxidation treatment. In addition, Fenton oxidation showed the ability to reduce antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements, and even tetO, tetG, intI1, and intI2 were eliminated completely. These results suggested that Fenton oxidation treatment could be an efficient strategy for removing OTC and resistance genes in OFRs.

Abstract
Sewage sludge is an important reservoir of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and the reclamation of sewage sludge potentially threats human health and environmental safety. Sludge treatment and disposal are expected to control these risks, and this review summarizes the fate and controlling efficiency of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in sludge involved in different processes, i.e., disintegration, anaerobic digestion, aerobic composting, drying, pyrolysis, constructed wetland, and land application. Additionally, the analysis and characterization methods of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in complicate sludge are reviewed, and the quantitative risk assessment approaches involved in land application are comprehensively discussed. This review benefits process optimization of sludge treatment and disposal, with regard to environmental risks control of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in sludge. Furthermore, current research limitations and gaps, e.g., the antibiotic resistance risk assessment in sludge-amended soil, are proposed to advance the future studies.

Abstract
A major environmental problem on a global scale is the contamination of water by dyes, particularly from industrial effluents. Consequently, wastewater treatment from various industrial wastes is crucial to restoring environmental quality. Dye is an important class of organic pollutants that are considered harmful to both people and aquatic habitats. The textile industry has become more interested in agricultural-based adsorbents, particularly in adsorption. The biosorption of Methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions by the wheat straw (T. aestivum) biomass was evaluated in this study. The biosorption process parameters were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM) approach with a face-centred central composite design (FCCCD). Using a 10 mg/L concentration MB dye, 1.5 mg of biomass, an initial pH of 6, and a contact time of 60 min at 25 °C, the maximum MB dye removal percentages (96%) were obtained. Artificial neural network (ANN) modelling techniques are also employed to stimulate and validate the process, and their efficacy and ability to predict the reaction (removal efficiency) were assessed. The existence of functional groups, which are important binding sites involved in the process of MB biosorption, was demonstrated using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra. Moreover, a scan electron microscope (SEM) revealed that fresh, shiny particles had been absorbed on the surface of the T. aestivum following the biosorption procedure. The bio-removal of MB from wastewater effluents has been demonstrated to be possible using T. aestivum biomass as a biosorbent. It is also a promising biosorbent that is economical, environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and cost-effective.

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) antibiotics are very common and often used in both human and veterinary medicines. More than 75% of TCs are excreted in an active condition and released into the environment, posing a risk to the ecosystem and human health. Residual antibiotics are in global water bodies, causing antibiotic resistance and genotoxicity in humans and aquatic organisms. The ever-increasing number of multi-resistant bacteria caused by the widespread use of antibiotics in the environment has sparked a renewed interest in developing more sustainable antibiotic degradation processes. In this regard, photodegradation technique provides a promising solution to resolve this growing issue, paving the way for complete antibiotic degradation with the generation of non-toxic by-products. As a fascinating activity towards visible light range shown by semiconductor, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has a medium bandgap, non-toxicity, chemically stable complex, and thermally great strength. Recent studies have concentrated on the performance of g-C3N4 as a photocatalyst for treating wastewater. Pure g-C3N4 exhibits limited photocatalytic activity due to insufficient sunlight usage, small surface area, and a high rate of recombination of electron and hole ([Formula: see text] & [Formula: see text]) pairs created in photocatalytic activity. Doping of g-C3N4 is a very effective method for improving the activity as element doped g-C3N4 shows excellent bandgap and electronic structure. Doping significantly broadens the light-responsive range and reduces recombination of e- & h+ pairs. Under above context, this review provides a systematic and comprehensive outlook of designing doped g-C3N4 as well as efficiency for TCs degradation in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Chlortetracycline (CTC), a widely used antibiotic, is recalcitrant and ubiquitous in the environment. Enzymatic degradation of CTC is an economical and efficient bioremediation method. In this work, recombinant Arthromyces ramosus peroxidase (rARP) at a concentration of 3.13 × 10-9 M was used to catalyze rapid degradation of CTC in water. The second-order rate constants of rARP showed up to 62-fold catalytic efficiency of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) toward CTC. The degradation half-life of CTC at the concentrations of 2 and 40 mg L-1 in wastewater under the rARP catalysis was, respectively, 5.3 and 5.7 min at 25 °C, and 2.7 and 3.1 min at 40 °C, which were up to 15-fold and 111-fold faster than HRP and laccase, respectively, but use of 3 % the amount of rARP as HRP. rARP catalyzed degradation of CTC at 2-40 mg L-1 in wastewater completed in 20-24 min, and its catalytic efficiency varied within only 2-fold at 25-40 °C. rARP showed only 2-3-fold discrepancy of catalytic efficiency among pH 5.0, 7.5 and 9.0. CTC under rARP catalysis underwent demethylation and oxidation to form nontoxic N-dedimethyl-9-hydroxy-CTC. The high catalytic efficiency of rARP agreed with a short distance between rARP's δN-His56 and CTC's dimethylamine N as indicated by docking simulation. rARP is a useful enzyme for CTC bioremediation.

Abstract
Tetracycline is currently one of the most consumed antibiotics for human therapy, veterinary purpose, and agricultural activities. Tetracycline worldwide consumption is expected to rise by about more than 30% by 2030. The persistence of tetracycline has necessitated implementing and adopting strategies to protect aquatic systems and the environment from noxious pollutants. Here, graphitic carbon nitride-based photocatalytic technology is considered because of higher visible light photocatalytic activity, low cost, and non-toxicity. Thus, this review highlights the recent progress in the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline using g-C3N4-based photocatalysts. Additionally, properties, worldwide consumption, occurrence, and environmental impacts of tetracycline are comprehensively addressed. Studies proved the occurrence of tetracycline in all water matrices across the world with a maximum concentration of 54 μg/L. Among different g-C3N4-based materials, heterojunctions exhibited the maximum photocatalytic degradation of 100% with the reusability of 5 cycles. The photocatalytic membranes are found to be feasible due to easiness in recovery and better reusability. Limitations of g-C3N4-based wastewater treatment technology and efficient solutions are also emphasized in detail.

Abstract
In this study, histidine-protected copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs@His) were established by using a one-pot method, which histidine and ascorbic acid were applied as the template and reducing agent, respectively. The as-developed Cu NCs@His endued green emission wavelength at 494 nm with the excitation of 378 nm. The Cu NCs@His exhibited green fluorescence under UV light (365 nm). Using Cu NCs@His as a pattern nanosensor, the fluorescent "turn off" mechanism was fabricated for the determination of chlortetracycline in the light of the linear decrease of fluorescence intensities around 494 nm. The chlortetracycline conducted as a quencher, leading to reveal an excellent linear relationship between ln(F0/F) of Cu NCs@His and chlortetracycline concentrations with the range of 0.5-200 μM, and the detection limit was 0.876 μM. The fluorescence quenching of Cu NCs@His revealed excellent selectivity for chlortetracycline over other potential interfering substances in the human body. This strategy was exhibited to be a convenient sensing platform for the detection of chlortetracycline in real medical samples, which could unfold a brand new and direct system for the sensing of chlortetracycline in real samples.

Abstract
Dyes are a significant group of organic contaminants known to negatively affect both humans and aquatic environments. In the textile industry, interest in agricultural-based adsorbents has increased, particularly around adsorption. In this study, methylene blue was eliminated from an aqueous solution using a walnut (Juglans regia) shell. These materials are widely available and inexpensive, and its cost can be a major factor in wastewater treatment batch experiments. Response surface methodology (RSM) is based on a face-centred central composite design, used to identify the independent variable. With the use of RSM, the biomass of J. regia shells was assessed for its capacity to absorb dyes from aqueous solutions, including methylene blue. Maximum methylene blue dye removal percentages (97.70%) were obtained with a 30 mg/L concentration of methylene blue dye, 1.5 gm of biomass, an initial pH of 6, and a contact duration of 60 min at 25 °C. Additionally, particles were absorbed onto the J. regia shell’s surface throughout the biosorption process, according to scan electron microscopy. Functional groups were discovered in the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy spectra, which are crucial for binding during the biosorption of methylene blue. It has been demonstrated that J. regia shell biomass performs well as a biosorbent in the removal of methylene blue from wastewater effluents. It is also a promising, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, economical, and cost-effective biosorbent.

Abstract
In discharged water, antibiotics and heavy metals frequently coexist, forming stable and recalcitrant complexes. Environmental concerns about how to efficiently treat this type of pollution are growing. Using Fe and Al electrodes, electrocoagulation (EC) was applied to remove tetracycline (TC) as a single pollutant as well as TC-nickel ions in a binary mixture from water. The effects of critical variables and the TC-Ni molar ratio (1:1, 1:2, and 2:1) were studied. The Fe electrode achieved 99.3% TC removal after 60 min in a single pollutant system containing 15 mgL-1 of TC, while the Al electrode achieved 99.8% removal in 20 min at optimal conditions. The EC process demonstrated excellent electrodegradation efficiency towards TC-Ni complexes. When the TC to Ni2+ ratio was 1:1 and 1:2, respectively, TC elimination was 100% in 10 min and 99.6% in 20 min. We noted that a sufficient amount of Ni2+ could increase TC decomposition by electrocatalysis. The amount of hydrogen gas produced after treatment of a 0.2 L TC solution alone is 22.2-13.99 mol m-3, whereas it was 27.2-40.8 mol m-3 in the TC-Ni binary mixture, which can generate more than 35% of the electrical energy needed to power the EC system. To evaluate the generated sludge, FTIR analysis was performed.

Abstract
Synthetic antibiotics have been known for years to combat bacterial antibiotics. But their overuse and resistance have become a concern recently. The antibiotics reach the environment, including soil from the manufacturing process and undigested excretion by cattle and humans. It leads to overburden and contamination of the environment. These organic antibiotics remain in the environment for a very long period. During this period, antibiotics come in contact with various flora and fauna. The ill manufacturing practices and inadequate wastewater treatment cause a severe problem to the water bodies. After pretreatment from pharmaceutical industries, the effluents are released to the water bodies such as rivers. Even after pretreatment, effluents contain a significant number of antibiotic residues, which affect the living organisms living in the water bodies. Ultimately, river contaminated water reaches the ocean, spreading the contamination to a vast environment. This review paper discusses the impact of synthetic organic contamination on the environment and its hazardous effect on health. In addition, it analyzes and suggests the biotechnological strategies to tackle organic antibiotic residue proliferation. Moreover, the degradation of organic antibiotic residues by biocatalyst and biochar is analyzed. The circular economy approach for waste-to-resource technology for organic antibiotic residue in China is analyzed for a sustainable solution. Overall, the significant challenges related to synthetic antibiotic residues and future aspects are analyzed in this review paper.

Impact of Antibiotics as Waste, Physical, Chemical, and Enzymatical Degradation: Use of Laccases. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144436.

Abstract
The first traces of Tetracycline (TE) were detected in human skeletons from Sudan and Egypt, finding that it may be related to the diet of the time, the use of some dyes, and the use of soils loaded with microorganisms, such as Streptomyces spp., among other microorganisms capable of producing antibiotics. However, most people only recognise authors dating between 1904 and 1940, such as Ehrlich, Domagk, and Fleming. Antibiotics are the therapeutic option for countless infections treatment; unfortunately, they are the second most common group of drugs in wastewaters worldwide due to failures in industrial waste treatments (pharmaceutics, hospitals, senior residences) and their irrational use in humans and animals. The main antibiotics problem lies in delivered and non-prescribed human use, use in livestock as growth promoters, and crop cultivation as biocides (regulated activities that have not complied in some places). This practice has led to the toxicity of the environment as antibiotics generate eutrophication, water pollution, nutrient imbalance, and press antibiotic resistance. In addition, the removal of antibiotics is not a required process in global wastewater treatment standards. This review aims to raise awareness of the negative impact of antibiotics as residues and physical, chemical, and biological treatments for their degradation. We discuss the high cost of physical and chemical treatments, the risk of using chemicals that worsen the situation, and the fact that each antibiotic class can be transformed differently with each of these treatments and generate new compounds that could be more toxic than the original ones; also, we discuss the use of enzymes for antibiotic degradation, with emphasis on laccases.

Rapid Degradation of Chlortetracycline Using Hydrodynamic Cavitation with Hydrogen Peroxide. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19074167.

Abstract
Chlortetracycline (CTC), which has been frequently detected in surface water, is generated primarily by the discharge of high-concentration CTC wastewater from pharmaceutical and livestock plants. The development of effective CTC degradation technology is critical. In this study, the extent of CTC degradation at 80 mg/L was investigated by combining hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results indicate degradation ratios of 88.7% and 93.8% at 5 and 30 min, respectively. Furthermore, the possible mechanisms of CTC degradation were determined via HPLC-MS. The CTC degradation pathways include ring openings, C–N bond cleavage, demethylation, dehydroxylation, and desaturation in the sole system of HC, and a series of additional reactions, such as glycine conjugation and the cleavage of C–C double bonds, occurs in the binary system of HC + H2O2. Nevertheless, the treated water poses ecological risks and cannot be directly discharged into the environment. Therefore, HC + H2O2 treatment may be a rapid and effective primary method for the degradation of high-concentration CTC in pharmaceutical factories.

Abstract
Many untreated and partly treated wastewater from the home and commercial resources is being discharged into the aquatic environment these days, which contains numerous unknown and complex natural and inorganic compounds. These compounds tend to persist, initiating severe environmental problems, which affect human health. Conventionally, physicochemical treatment methods were adopted to remove such complex organic chemicals, but they suffer from critical limitations. Over time, photocatalysis, an advanced oxidation process, has gained its position for its efficient and fair performance against emerging organic pollutant decontamination. Typically, photocatalysis is a green technology to decompose organics under UV/visible light at ambient conditions. Semiconducting nanometal oxides have emerged as pioneering photocatalysts because of large active surface sites, flexible oxidation states, various morphologies, and easy preparation. The current review presents an overview of emerging organic pollutants and their effects, advanced oxidation processes, photocatalytic mechanism, types of photocatalysts, photocatalyst support materials, and methods for improving photodegradation efficiency on the degradation of complex emerging organic pollutants. In addition, the recent reports of metal-oxide-driven photocatalytic remediation of emerging organic pollutants are presented in brief. This review is anticipated to reach a broader scientific community to understand the first principles of photocatalysis and review the recent advancements in this field.

Abstract
The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic of copper nanoclusters (CuNC) was for the first time used to construct a ratiometric fluorescence probe (CuNC-Al3+) for detection of chlortetracycline (CTC). Aluminum ion (Al3+) can aggregate free CuNC and make it emit a bright and stable red fluorescence. A slight excess of Al3+ in CuNC-Al3+ solution can form a CTC-Al3+ complex to limit the conformational rotation of CTC molecule and enhance CTC fluorescence. So, the red fluorescence of CuNC-Al3+ probe and the enhanced CTC fluorescence are used as a reference signal and a response signal to detect CTC, respectively. The method developed shows a good linear relationship between the CTC concentration and the fluorescence intensity ratio (I495/I575) in the range 0.1-3.0 µM, and the detection limit is 25.3 nM (S/N = 3). In addition, the fluorescent color of CuNC-Al3+ probe changes from red to yellow-green as the concentration of CTC increases. Based on this observation, a fluorescent test paper has also been fabricated. Schematic illustration of Al3+ inducing CuNC to produce AIE performance and detecting CTC.

Abstract
Unregulated usage, improper disposal, and leakage from pharmaceutical use and manufacturing sites have led to high detection levels of antibiotic residues in wastewater and surface water. The existing water treatment technologies are insufficient for removing trace antibiotics and these residual antibiotics tend to interact with co-existing metal ions and form antibiotic-metal complexes (AMCs) with altered bioactivity profile and physicochemical properties. Typically, antibiotics, including tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and sulphonamides, interact with heavy metals such as Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, to form AMCs which are more persistent and toxic than parent compounds. Although many studies have reported antibiotics detection, determination, distribution and risks associated with their environmental persistence, very few investigations are published on understanding the chemistry of these complexes in the wastewater and sludge matrix. This review, therefore, summarizes the structural features of both antibiotics and metals that facilitate complexation in wastewater. Further, this work critically appraises the treatment methods employed for antibiotic removal, individually and combined with metals, highlights the knowledge gaps, and delineates future perspectives for their treatment.

Abstract
Aptamer has been proved to be an important probe for antibiotic detection. Here, the electrical signal was doubly amplified by the synergistic effect of C-WO3 and AuNPs. The probe structure has a specific recognition effect on tetracycline, which improves the selectivity and anti-interference of the sensor. With the assistance of BBD strategy, the experimental errors of the C-WO3@AuNPs aptasensor were reduced and the best conditions for its preparation were obtained. This was conducive to obtain the best electrical signal transmission capacity of the electrode, greatly improved the sensor sensitivity. Under this mechanism, the antibiotic sensor achieved a low detection range (0.1 nM-100 nM) and a low detection limit (4.8 × 10-2 nM). The sensor showed excellent selectivity even in the presence of coexisting pollutants. This work explored the mechanism of charge change and demonstrated the role of probes in antibiotic sensing, providing important prospects of future applications in electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
One of the key challenges of wastewater treatment today is to understand the potential effect of residual pollutants on the management of waste activated sludge (WAS). This study aims to clarify the effect of chlortetracycline (CTC) as a residual antibiotic on the anaerobic fermentation of WAS to produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs). The results show that CTC with a concentration of 10 mg/kg total suspended solids enhances the VFA production by 21.1%. Mechanistically, CTC was found to prompt the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances to provide more substrates for anaerobic fermentation. Meanwhile, CTC stimulates acidification by increasing the activity of acetate kinase, and inhibits methanogenesis by reducing F420 activity, thereby increasing the accumulation of VFAs. This article provides new insights into the behavior of CTC in WAS fermentation, which is essential for resource recovery from WAS containing CTC.

Abstract
The intricacy in the treatment of effluents from the textile sector attracts the researchers since 20th century. Dye intermediate manufacturing industries are responsible for producing the toxic pollutants such as nitro-aromatics, benzene, toluene, phenol, heavy metals etc. with intense colour. The present study focuses on the performance of combined Electro-Fenton (EF) and sonication for the removal of ammoniacal nitrogen and COD from dye intermediate manufacturing wastewater. Batch experiments of EF were performed using graphite electrodes and sonication was applied to the EF treated wastewater to enhance the treatment performance. A number of experiments were executed to discover the influence of pH, applied voltage, Fenton catalyst dosage and time of electrolysis on the removal efficiency of EF batch process was scrutinized. The pH was varied between 2 and 4, applied voltage from 1 to 4V, Fenton catalyst dosage between 50 and 200 mg L-1 and time between 15 and 180 min. At optimum condition i.e. pH 3, applied voltage 3V, Fenton catalyst dosage of 100 mg L-1and 120 min electrolysis time, the percentage removal obtained for ammoniacal nitrogen and COD were 59.4% and 79.2% respectively. The removal efficiency was increased to 65.5% for ammoniacal nitrogen and 85.4% for COD after applying sonication to the EF treated wastewater. The removal of ammoniacal nitrogen and COD can be achieved in a scientific and feasible way by combining EF process with sonication.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 753:141975. [PMID: 33207448 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.141975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 290] [Impact Index Per Article: 96.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 08/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/23/2020] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs), used as human and veterinary medicines, are the most widely used antibiotics. More than 75% of TCs are excreted in an active form and released into the environment through human and animal urine and feces, causing adverse effects on the ecological system and human health. Few articles review the environmental occurrence and behaviors of TCs, as well as their risks and toxicities. Here, we comprehensively summarized the recent advances on the following important issues: (1) Environmental occurrence of TCs. TCs are used globally and their occurrence in the aquatic environment has been documented, including surface water, groundwater, drinking water, wastewater, sediment, and sludge. (2) Environmental behaviors of TCs, particularly the fate of TCs in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Most WWTPs cannot effectively remove TCs from wastewater, so alternative methods for efficient removal of TCs need to be developed. The latest degradation methods of TCs are summarized, including adsorption, photocatalytic, photochemical and electrochemical, and biological degradations. (3) Toxicities and possible risks of TCs. The toxicological data of TCs indicate that several TCs are more toxic to algae than fish and daphnia. Risk assessments based on individual compound exposure indicate that the risks arising from the current concentrations of TCs in the aquatic environment cannot be ignored.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 273:116515. [PMID: 33493756 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.116515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Sludge generated at sewage treatment plants is of environmental concern due to the voluminous production and the presence of a high concentration of emerging contaminants (ECs). This review discusses the fate of ECs in sewage sludge treatment with an emphasis on fundamental mechanisms driving the degradation of compounds based on chemical properties of the contaminant and process operating conditions. The removal of ECs in sewage sludge through various treatment processes of sludge stabilization, such as anaerobic digestion (AD), composting, and pre-treatment methods (thermal, sonication, and oxidation) followed by AD, are discussed. Several transformation mechanisms and remediation strategies for the removal of ECs in sludge are summarized. The study concludes that pH, sludge type, and the types of functional groups are the key factors affecting the sorption of ECs to sludge. During conventional waste stabilization processes such as composting, the degradation of ECs depends on the type of feedstock (TOC, N, P, C/N, C/P) and the initial concentration of the contaminant. In AD, the degree of degradation depends on the hydrophilicity of the compound. The estrogenicity of the sludge may sometimes increase due to the conversion to estrogenic compounds. The pre-treatment techniques can increase the partitioning of ECs in the soluble fraction resulting in enhanced biodegradation up to 10-60%. However, the formation of by-products and loss of OH· to scavenging under high organic content during advanced oxidation processes can make the process uneconomical and require further research.

Abstract
Here a CdS embedded poly acrylic acid (PAA)/graphene oxide (GO) polymeric composite was prepared for the efficient degradation of chlortetracycline (CTC) driven by visible light irradiation. The structure-activity relationship of GO/PAA-CdS was confirmed through the photocatalytic evaluation of a series of samples prepared by varying GO concentration, molar ratio of Cd:S and the amount of crosslinking agent. Through the composition, morphology, photoelectrochemical characterizations and degradation kinetic studies, it could be confirmed that the enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to the controlled growth of CdS nanoparticles by polymer net structure and effective electron transfer along GO nanosheets. The photodegradation of CTC was confirmed to be mainly governed by O2- and OH radicals generated from GO/PAA-CdS. The degradation intermediates of CTC were confirmed by LC-MS, and possible degradation pathways were proposed based on the prediction of radical attacking sites according to Fukui function values obtained through Density Functional Theory (DFT). Moreover, it was found that the catalytic activity of the photocatalyst was maintained after several cycles confirming the enhanced anti-photocorrosion of GO/PAA-CdS. This research provided an efficient approach by a novel photocatalyst for the removal of CTC from wastewater.

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
It is of great importance to detect chlorotetracycline (CTC) in a highly sensitive and specific way because of its wide distribution in aquaculture and animal husbandry. Herein, we propose a novel ratiometric fluorescence strategy to assay CTC by using bovine serum albumin stabilized gold nanoclusters (BSA-AuNCs). The BSA-AuNCs consisting of 25 gold atoms (Au25NCs) display a red emission at 640 nm (λex = 370 nm). In the presence of CTC, a new blue emission at 425 nm is emerged and its intensity dramatically increases with the addition of more the analyte; meanwhile the red emission at 640 nm shows a linear decrease reversely. However, at identical conditions neither the analogues of CTC as tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC) or doxycycline (DC) induces similar response of BSA-AuNCs. Such interesting phenomenon is proven related to the conversion from large Au25NCs to smaller nanoclusters composing 8 gold atoms (Au8NCs), which intrinsically originate from the interaction between CTC and the ligand BSA. Therefore, a ratiometric probe is established to sensitively detect CTC in the wide range (0.2-10 μM) with a low limit of detection (LOD) at 65 nM. In addition, this strategy can also be applied to assay CTC in human serum, showing great promise for practical applications in future.

Abstract
Thermophiles hydrolysis and acidogens fermentation were sequentially adopted to pretreat excess sludge for microbial fuel cell (MFC) electricity production. The results indicated that MFC fed with the thermophiles-acidogens pretreated sludge (MFC AB), reached a higher removal of ammonia nitrogen than the MFC fed with the heating hydrolysis and acidogens fermentation pretreated sludge (MFC NB). However, compared with the MFC AB, MFC NB presented a better performance for removal of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) (90.08%) and protein (82.42%). As for the electricity production, MFC NB obtained higher voltage of 0.632 V and maximum power density with 1.05 W/m3 while MFC AB reached maximum voltage of 0.373 V and maximum power density of 0.58 W/m3. Bacterial 16S rRNA-based molecular microbial techniques showed that microbial communities on both MFC anode biofilms was diverse and different. The cooperation of fermentation bacteria and electricigen Shewanella baltica in the MFC NB may have contributed towards the improvement of electricity generation.

Abstract
In this work, the effect of coupling ultrasonic pretreatment with dosing of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nanoferrosonication, "NFS") to improve the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge was studied. Biochemical methane potential tests were conducted at 15,000 and 25,000 kJ/kgTS and their combinations with 2 and 7 mgFe0/gVS. The biogas yield increased from 106 (control) to 143 (25,000 kJ/kgTS) and 308 mL/gVS with NFS (7 mgFe0/gVS + 15,000 kJ/kgTS). The methane content increased from 55.6 to 66%, and the maximum VS removal was 11.5% at 7 mgFe0/gVS + 15,000 kJ/kgTS. The results demonstrated that NFS was effective in intensifying the process.

Abstract
Selenium, a ubiquitous non-metal in nature, is potentially toxic to natural ecosystems due to its bioaccumulation potential. Due to increased monitoring and enforcement of selenium regulations, the need to be able to measure and treat selenium efficiently has taken on an increased importance. The principal aqueous forms of inorganic selenium are selenite (Se(IV)) and selenate (Se(VI)). Selenate, due to its high mobility and lack of affinity to conventional adsorbents, is typically much more difficult to treat and remove. To address both measurement and removal, an analytical method is reported for quantification of selenium in wastewater (WW) using UV-Vis spectrophotometer followed by removal studies using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Malachite green and azure blue were selected for colorimetric analysis using UV-Vis. Malachite green indicator showed the best results for analysis. The reported UV-Vis method was applied to establish the effect of AOPs on selenium removal. It was noted that all of the AOP treated samples showed removal of selenium and it was established that the UV-Vis method has a lower limit of detection at 2 mg/L. Further, through this study, it was found that the chemical cavitation yield and selenium removal efficiency peaked at low frequency ultrasound of 40 kHz.

Abstract
This study investigates the removal of chlortetracycline (CTC) antibiotic using sulfate radical-based oxidation process. Sodium persulfate (PS) was used as a source to generate sulfate radicals by homogeneous (Fe2+) and heterogeneous (zero valent iron, ZVI) iron as a catalyst. Increased EDTA concentration was used to break the CTC-Fe metal complexes during CTC estimation. The influence of various parameters, such as PS concentration, iron (Fe2+ and ZVI) concentration, PS/iron molar ratio, and pH were studied and optimum conditions were reported. CTC removal was increased with increasing concentration of PS and iron at an equal molar ratio of PS/Fe2+ and PS/ZVI processes. PS/Fe2+ and PS/ZVI oxidation processes at 1:2 (500 μM PS and 1000 μM) molar ratio showed 76% and 94% of 1 μM CTC removal in 2 h. Further increased molar ratio 1:2 onwards, PS/Fe2+ process showed a slight increase in CTC degradation whereas in PS/ZVI process showed similar degradation to 1:2 (PS/Fe) ratio at constant PS 500 μM concentration. Slower activation of persulfate which indirectly indicates the slower generation of sulfate radicals in PS/ZVI process showed higher degradation efficiency of CTC. The detected transformation products and their estrogenicity results stated that sulfate radicals seem to be efficient in forming stable and non-toxic end products.

Abstract
Concern over tetracyclines (TCs) complexation with metals in the environment is growing as a new class of emerging contaminants. TCs exist as a different net charged species depending on their dissociation constants, pH and the surrounding environment. One of the key concerns about TCs is its strong tendency to interact with various metal ions and form metal complexes. Moreover, co-existence of TCs and metals in the environment and their interactions has shown increased antibiotic resistance. Despite extensive research on TCs complexation, investigations on their antibiotic efficiency and pharmacological profile in bacteria have been limited. In addition, the current knowledge on TCs metal complexation, their fate and risk assessment in the environment are inadequate to obtain a clear understanding of their consequences on living systems. This indicates that vital and comprehensive studies on TCs-metal complexation, especially towards growing antibiotic resistance trends are required. This review summarizes the role of TCs metal complexation on the development of antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, impact of metal complexation on degradation, toxicity and the fate of TCs in the environment are discussed and future recommendations have been made.
