Antibiotic ciprofloxacin removal from aqueous solutions by electrochemically activated persulfate process: Optimization, degradation pathways, and toxicology assessment. J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 143:85-98. [PMID: 38644026 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a commonly used antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone group and is widely used in medical and veterinary medicine disciplines to treat bacterial infections. When CIP is discharged into the sewage system, it cannot be removed by a conventional wastewater treatment plant because of its recalcitrant characteristics. In this study, boron-doped diamond anode and persulfate were used to degrade CIP in an aquatic solution by creating an electrochemically activated persulfate (EAP) process. Iron was added to the system as a coactivator and the process was called EAP+Fe. The effects of independent variables, including pH, Fe2+, persulfate concentration, and electrolysis time on the system were optimized using the response surface methodology. The results showed that the EAP+Fe process removed 94% of CIP under the following optimum conditions: A pH of 3, persulfate/Fe2+ concentration of 0.4 mmol/L, initial CIP concentration 30 mg/L, and electrolysis time of 12.64 min. CIP removal efficiency was increased from 65.10% to 94.35% by adding Fe2+ as a transition metal. CIP degradation products, 7 pathways, and 78 intermediates of CIP were studied, and three of those intermediates (m/z 298, 498, and 505) were reported. The toxicological analysis based on toxicity estimation software results indicated that some degradation products of CIP were toxic to targeted animals, including fathead minnow, Daphnia magna, Tetrahymena pyriformis, and rats. The optimum operation costs were similar in EAP and EAP+Fe processes, approximately 0.54 €/m3.

Abstract
The development of sustainable advanced energy conversion technologies and efficient pollutant treatment processes is a viable solution to the two global crises of the lack of non-renewable energy resources and environmental harm. In recent years, the interaction of biological and chemical oxidation units to utilize biomass has been extensively studied. Among these systems, bio-electro-Fenton (BEF) and photo-bio-electro-Fenton (PBEF) systems have shown prospects for application due to making rational and practical conversion and use of energy. This review compared and analyzed the electron transfer mechanisms in BEF and PBEF systems, and systematically summarized the techniques for enhancing system performance based on the generation, transfer, and utilization of electrons, including increasing the anode electron recovery efficiency, enhancing the generation of reactive oxygen species, and optimizing operational modes. This review compared the effects of different methods on the electron flow process and fully evaluated the benefits and drawbacks. This review may provide straightforward suggestions and methods to enhance the performance of BEF and PBEF systems and inspire the reader to explore the generation and utilization of sustainable energy more deeply.

Abstract
Electrochemical filtration can not only enrich low concentrations of pollutants but also produce reactive oxygen species to interact with toxic pollutants with the assistance of a power supply, making it an effective strategy for drinking water purification. In addition, the application of electrochemical filtration facilitates the reduction of pretreatment procedures and the use of chemicals, which has outstanding potential for maximizing process simplicity and reducing operating costs, enabling the production of safe drinking water in smaller installations. In recent years, the research on electrochemical filtration has gradually increased, but there has been a lack of attention on its application in the removal of low concentrations of pollutants from low conductivity water. In this review, membrane substrates and electrocatalysts used to improve the performance of electrochemical membranes are briefly summarized. Meanwhile, the application prospects of emerging single-atom catalysts in electrochemical filtration are also presented. Thereafter, several electrochemical advanced oxidation processes coupled with membrane filtration are described, and the related working mechanisms and their advantages and shortcomings used in drinking water purification are illustrated. Finally, the roles of electrochemical filtration in drinking water purification are presented, and the main problems and future perspectives of electrochemical filtration in the removal of low concentration pollutants are discussed.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:23924-23941. [PMID: 38430437 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-32679-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
In response to the escalating concerns over antibiotics in aquatic environments, the photo-Fenton reaction has been spotlighted as a promising approach to address this issue. Herein, a novel heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst (Fe3O4/WPC) with magnetic recyclability was synthesized through a facile two-step process that included in situ growth and subsequent carbonization treatment. This catalyst was utilized to expedite the photocatalytic decomposition of ciprofloxacin (CIP) assisted by H2O2. Characterization results indicated the successful anchoring of MIL-101(Fe)-derived spindle-like Fe3O4 particles in the multi-channeled wood-converted porous carbon (WPC) scaffold. The as-synthesized hybrid photocatalysts, boasting a substantial specific surface area of 414.90 m2·g-1 and an excellent photocurrent density of 0.79 μA·cm-2, demonstrated superior photo-Fenton activity, accomplishing approximately 100% degradation of CIP within 120 min of ultraviolet-light exposure. This can be attributed to the existence of a heterojunction between Fe3O4 and WPC substrate that promotes the migration and enhances the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Meanwhile, the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox circulation and mesoporous wood carbon in the catalyst synergistically enhance the utilization of H2O and accelerate the formation of •OH radicals, leading to heightened degradation efficiency of CIP. Experiments utilizing chemical trapping techniques have demonstrated that •OH radicals are instrumental in the CIP degradation process. Furthermore, the study on reusability indicated that the efficiency in removing CIP remained at 89.5% even through five successive cycles, indicating the structural stability and excellent recyclability of Fe3O4/WPC. This research presented a novel pathway for designing magnetically reusable MOFs/wood-derived composites as photo-Fenton catalysts for actual wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stands as one of the foremost utilized oxidizing agents in modern times. The established method for its production involves the intricate and costly anthraquinone process. However, a promising alternative pathway is the electrochemical hydrogen peroxide production, accomplished through the oxygen reduction reaction via a 2-electron pathway. This method not only simplifies the production process but also upholds environmental sustainability, especially when compared to the conventional anthraquinone method. In this review paper, recent works from the literature focusing on the 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction promoted by carbon electrocatalysts are summarized. The practical applications of these materials in the treatment of effluents contaminated with different pollutants (drugs, dyes, pesticides, and herbicides) are presented. Water treatment aiming to address these issues can be achieved through advanced oxidation electrochemical processes such as electro-Fenton, solar-electro-Fenton, and photo-electro-Fenton. These processes are discussed in detail in this work and the possible radicals that degrade the pollutants in each case are highlighted. The review broadens its scope to encompass contemporary computational simulations focused on the 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction, employing different models to describe carbon-based electrocatalysts. Finally, perspectives and future challenges in the area of carbon-based electrocatalysts for H2O2 electrogeneration are discussed. This review paper presents a forward-oriented viewpoint of present innovations and pragmatic implementations, delineating forthcoming challenges and prospects of this ever-evolving field.

Abstract
Photodegradation is considered a significant method engaged for the elimination of organic pollutants from water. In this work, hydrothermal cobalt-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Hy-Co-ZnO NPs) loaded with 5, 10, and 15% cobalt were prepared in a hydrothermal way and were investigated as a photocatalyst for the Ciprofloxacin (CIPF) degradation under visible irradiation using LED-light. Characterization approaches such as FTIR, XRD, XPS, DRS UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, BET, EDX and TGA were used for the investigation of the fabricated Hy-Co-ZnO NPs. The studies indicated that 10% Hy-Co-ZnO NPs was the most efficient catalyst for the CIPF photolysis compared to ZnO NPs and other Hy-Co-ZnO NPs with 5 and 15% cobalt content. Higher photocatalytic activity (> 98%) of 20 mg/L of CIPF solution was attained within 60 min. The reaction kinetics showed that the first-order model is suitable for displaying the rate of reaction and amount of CIPF elimination with R2 = 0.9883. Moreover, Central composite design (CCD) optimization of the 10% Hy-Co-ZnO NPs was also studied.

Abstract
Surface water pollution has become relevant because growing population and intense industrial activities. Thus, to protect the environment from contamination, recently the electroanalytical sensors that require small sample volume and easy preparation have shown a prominent performance for pharmaceuticals monitoring. For this purpose, a miniaturized electrochemical platform was developed based on recycling obsolete computer integrated circuits (microchips), fitting with the ideals of green chemistry and circular economy. The gold microelectrodes array (Au-μEA) was easily exposed by polishing the device surface and then characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. To enhance the analytical performance for isoniazid detection, the Au-μEA was modified with electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO). The developed sensor presented a linear range between 5 and 100 μmol L-1 and a limit of detection of 1.38 μmol L-1 demonstrating a reliable performance. Looking to its environmental application, the ERGO/Au-μEA sensor was used for isoniazid quantification in lagoon, river, tap water and synthetic effluent spiked samples with recovery values between 92.5 and 108.4%. Thus, this research field opens up new possibilities in global water-related issues contributing with innovative sustainable solutions.

Abstract
The search for a simple and clean approach toward the production of sulfate radicals for water treatment gave rise to electrochemical and photoelectrochemical activation techniques. The photoelectrochemical activation method does not just distinguish itself as a promising activation method, it is also used as an efficient water treatment method with the ability to treat a myriad of pollutants due to the complementary effects of highly reactive oxidizing species. This perspective highlights some merits that distinguish sulfate monoanion radicals from hydroxyl radicals. It highlights the electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, and in situ photoelectrochemical routes of generating sulfate radicals for advanced oxidation process approach to water treatment. We provide a detailed account of the few known applications of sulfate radical enhanced photoelectrochemical treatments of water laden with organics. Finally, we placed this area of research in perspective by providing outlooks and conclusive remarks.

Brillas E. Solar photoelectro-Fenton: A very effective and cost-efficient electrochemical advanced oxidation process for the removal of organic pollutants from synthetic and real wastewaters. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 327:138532.

Abstract
Recalcitrant and toxic organic pollutants from wastewaters are scarcely removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. To preserve the water quality, organics need to be removed by developing powerful oxidation technologies. Our laboratory proposed in 2007 a potent electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) for wastewater remediation, so-called solar photoelectro-Fenton (SPEF). This review summarizes the advances of this emerging technology up to 2022, making evident its effectiveness and cost-efficiency for the destruction of usual organic pollutants. The simultaneous action of generated hydroxyl radicals and the photolysis by sunlight explains the high oxidation power of SPEF respect to other EAOPs. The review is initiated by describing the fundamentals of the process to remark the role of the produced oxidants and the benefits of using solar irradiation in its performance. The photoelectrochemical systems used (bench tank reactor and solar pre-pilot flow plant) and the assessment of the operating variables are discussed. The characteristics of the most common homogeneous SPEF for the degradation and mineralization of several synthetic solutions of industrial chemicals, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic organic dyes, as well as of some real wastewaters, are further described. The influence of the photoelectrochemical cell, electrodes, solution pH, electrolyte composition, Fe2+ and pollutant concentration, and current density is analyzed. The performance of a homogeneous SPEF-like process with active chlorine and heterogeneous SPEF processes with solid catalysts such as Fe3O4 and sodium vermiculite is also discussed. Finally, the advances of homogeneous SPEF combined with other techniques like solar photocatalysis, solar photoelectrocatalysis, anaerobic digestion, and nanofiltration are reported.

Abstract
The degradation of the chemotherapeutic drug cyclophosphamide in artificial urine was evaluated by Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAOP). The system consisted of an electrochemical flow reactor with a commercial DSA® electrode (nominal composition Ti / Ru0,3Ti0,7O2) and Ti-mesh cathode. In order to assess the best parameters, the effect of current density, time and flow rate were analyzed using an initial 23 factorial design. The chosen response variable was the energy efficiency to produce free chlorine species (HClO/ClO-). After obtaining the most significant factors, the Central Composite Design (CCD) was performed, where the optimum conditions were determined for the current density range (11.714 mA cm-2 and 66.57 mA cm-2), flow rate (31.33 mL min-1) and time range (19 and 37 min). Under an optimized condition, the efficiency of other combined methods (photo-assisted electrochemical, photochemical, sonoelectrochemical and photo-assisted sonoelectrochemical) was evaluated. The efficiency of degradation processes was determined by removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), creatinine and urea. Analysis by HPLC demonstrates that the cyclophosphamide was substantially removed during the treatment process of ∼77%. Based on these results, it can be observed that the coupling between electrochemical and photochemical processes is a promising alternative for the treatment of this effluent, as a marked reduction of organic matter is observed (63, 94% of creatinine, 29.62% of urea, 39.1% of TOC) and a low treatment cost ratio.

Abstract
This study used CdS as a pair of TiO2 Nanotube Arrays (TNTAs), considering the position and width of the energy band gap, which is expected to increase photocatalyst performance. The nancomposite was synthesized using the successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) method, with Cd(CH3COO)2 and Na2S as precursors. The CdS/TNTAs nanocomposite is expected to reduce the energy band gap to enable the visible and UV spectrum to activate the photocatalyst. Additionally, the formed heterojunction mechanism provides opportunities for the trajectories of electrons and holes to be farther apart and reduce the recombination rate. The degradation ability of CdS/TNTAs nanocomposite in the photocatalytic process was evaluated using samples of ciprofloxacin liquid waste as an antibiotic, which is quite challenging to decompose completely. The ability of the photocatalytic process to produce hydrogen gas was also observed and its performance synergized with the electrocoagulation process. The result showed that the use of CdS as a TNTAs partner in CdS/TNTAs nanocomposites affects increasing photocatalyst performance, both in degrading ciprofloxacin and producing hydrogen gas. Furthermore, the CdS/TNTAs nanocomposite increased the photocatalytic process’s ability to degrade ciprofloxacin and produce hydrogen from 8.5 to 20.5% and 6 to 23.5 mmol/m2 compared to using TNTAs alone. The processing capability is further enhanced when run in synergy with the electrocoagulation process where the removal of ciprofloxacin reaches 86.55% and the hydrogen produced is 2.62×106 mmol/m2.

Abstract
Nowadays metal-free persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been intensively investigated, however, the catalysts are often too complex to fully consider their application potential. Conventional AOPs usually suffer from severe interference in real water matrix, thus, selective oxidation is practically and scientifically challenging as it could avoid unnecessary inputs of energy and possible secondary pollutants. In this study, a remarkably synergistic effect was achieved when conventional amorphous boron/peroxymonosulfate (Boron/PMS, 0.67 × 10-2 min-1) system was combined with electrolysis (E-Boron/PMS, 1.54 × 10-2 min-1) to degrade sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Evidenced by selectively quenching tests with kinetic evaluation, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), solvent-exchange experiment and electrochemical analysis, the dominated reactive oxygen species in E-Boron/PMS system tended to be 1O2, instead of the •OH and SO4•-. Mechanistic study unveiled that 1O2 was generated via accelerated PMS self-decomposition, triggered by interface alkalization and hydroxyl radicals transfer at the cathode interface. 1O2 is considered to be selective to the electron-rich organic compounds, thus E-Boron/PMS system was superior to conventional radical-dominated system (Boron/PMS) for SMX removal in the co-presence of common inorganic anions, showing the great merits of selective oxidation in nonradical system. These findings provided new insights into effective and selective oxidation of SMX via E-Boron/PMS system, which shed new light on the development of nonradical system.

Abstract
Using Cu(NO3)2·3H2O as active material and citric acid (CA) as complexing agent, heterogeneous catalyst nano-CuOx was prepared by sol-gel method. The catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) reaction system was established accordingly. The system was used to treat ciprofloxacin (CIP) in simulated wastewater and real wastewater. The effects of the molar ratio of metal salt to CA, calcination temperature, H2O2 dosage, reaction temperature, and catalyst dosage on the physicochemical structure and the properties of CWPO were investigated. The results showed that when the molar ratio of CA to metal salt (Cu(NO3)2·3H2O) was 1.8, the calcination temperature was 500 °C, the concentration of H2O2 was 10 mmol · L–1, the reaction temperature was 95 °C, and the dosage of catalyst was 1 g · L–1, CWPO system has the best degradation effect on CIP. At thses optical conditions, the removal rate reached 86.8%, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate reached 54.9%, and the recycling rate of the catalyst was very good. The refractory organics in actual pharmaceutical wastewater could be oxidized by this system as well, and the COD removal rate reaches 47%. The degradation mechanism of CIP showed that the main functions of the CWPO system were ·O2– and ·OH radicals. The possible degradation pathways were determined by ion chromatography to be intermediate products generated from piperazine ring cleavage, defluorination, decarboxylation, and quinoline hydroxylation of CIP. The catalyzing mechanism was investigated in detail; some useful information was obtained in this work.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasingly growing interest regarding the use of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) which are considered highly promising alternative treatment techniques for addressing environmental issues related to pollutants of emerging concern. In EAOPs, electrogenerated oxidizing agents, such as hydroxyl radical (HO•), can react non-selectively with a wide range of organic compounds, degrading and mineralizing their structures to unharmful molecules like CO2, H2O, and inorganic ions. To this date, a broad spectrum of advanced electrocatalysts have been developed and applied for the treatment of compounds of interest in different matrices, specifically aiming at enhancing the degradation performance. New combined methods have also been employed as alternative treatment techniques targeted at circumventing the major obstacles encountered in Fenton-based processes, such as high costs and energy consumption, which still contribute significantly toward inhibiting the large-scale application of these processes. First, some fundamental aspects of EAOPs will be presented. Further, we will provide an overview of electrode materials which have been recently developed and reported in the literature, highlighting different anode and cathode structures employed in EAOPs, their main advantages and disadvantages, as well as their contribution to the performance of the treatment processes. The influence of operating parameters, such as initial concentrations, pH effect, temperature, supporting electrolyte, and radiation source, on the treatment processes were also studied. Finally, hybrid techniques which have been reported in the literature and critically assess the most recent techniques used for evaluating the degradation efficiency of the treatment processes.

Abstract
In the recent years, endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) has received increasing attention due to their significant toxic effects on human beings and wildlife by affecting their endocrine systems. As an important group of emerging pollutant, EDCs have been detected in various aquatic environments, including surface waters, groundwater, wastewater, runoff, and landfill leachates. Their removal from water resources has also been an emerging concern considering growing population as well as reducing access to fresh water resources. EDC removal from wastewaters is highly dependent on physicochemical properties of the given EDCs present in each wastewater types as well as various aquatic environments. Due to chemical, physical and physicochemical diversities in these parameters, variety of technologies consisting of physical, biological, electrochemical, and chemical processes have been developed for their removal. This review highlights that the effectiveness of EDC removal is highly dependent of selecting the appropriate technology; which decision is made upon a full wastewater chemical characterization. This review aims to provide a comprehensive perspective about all the current technologies used for EDCs removal from various aquatic matrices along with rising challenges such as the antimicrobial resistance gene transfer during EDC treatment.

Abstract
Iron alginate beads (Fe-Alg) were prepared, characterized and implemented for the degradation of amoxicillin (AMX) by the heterogeneous electro-Fenton process using a graphite cathode recovered from used batteries. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that (Fe-Alg) beads have a spherical shape and the results of energy dispersive spectrometric (EDS) revealed the presence of iron in (Fe-Alg). Optimization of the operating parameters showed that a complete degradation of AMX was achieved within 90 min of heterogeneous electro-Fenton treatment by operating under these conditions: initial AMX concentration: 0.0136 mM, I = 600 mA, [Na2SO4] = 50 mM, pH = 3, T = 25 °C, ω = 360 rpm. The corresponding chemical oxygen demand (COD) abatement was 50%. Increasing the contact time increased the COD abatement to 85.71%, after 150 min of heterogeneous electro-Fenton treatment. The results of the kinetic study by using nonlinear methods demonstrated that the reaction of AMX degradation obeyed to a pseudo-second-order kinetic. Iron content of 4.63% w/w was determined by the acid digestion method. After 5 cycles of use, the Alg-Fe catalyst depletion was only 8%. Biodegradability was remarkably improved after electro-Fenton pretreatment, since it increased from 0.07 initially to 0.36. The heterogeneous electro-Fenton process had efficiently eliminated AMX and it increased the biodegradability of the treated solution.

Abstract
The present work investigates the electrocatalytic performance of two different morphologies of boron doped-diamond film electrode (microcrystalline diamond - MCD, and nanocrystalline diamond - NCD) used in electrochemical oxidation for the removal of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP). A thorough study was conducted regarding the formation of the MCD and NCD films through the adjustment of methane in CH4/H2 gas mixture, and the two films were compared in terms of crystalline structure, apparent doping level, and electrochemical properties. The physicochemical results showed that the NCD film had higher sp2 carbon content and greater doping level; this contributed to improvements in its surface roughness, as well as its specific capacitance and charge transfer, which consequently enhanced its electrocatalytic activity in comparison with the MCD. The results obtained from CIP removal and mineralization assays performed in sulfate medium also showed that the NCD was more efficient than the MCD under all the current densities investigated. The effects of CIP concentration and the evolution of the final by-products, including short-chain carboxylic acids and inorganic ions, were also investigated. The electrochemical performance of the NCD was evaluated in different aqueous matrices, including chloride medium, real wastewater and simulated urine. The application of the NCD led to complete or almost complete CIP degradation, regardless of the medium employed. The kinetic constant rates obtained under the different media investigated were as follows: synthetic urine (0.0416 min-1 - R2 = 0.991) < real wastewater (0.0923 min-1 R2 = 0.997) < synthetic matrix containing chloride (0.1992 min-1 - R2 = 0.995); this shows that the pollutant degradation was affected by the type of aqueous matrix and the oxidants that were electrogenerated in situ. The results obtained from the analysis of electrical energy per order (EE/O) showed that the treatment of simulated urine spkiked with required the highest energy consumption, followed by the real effluent and synthetic matrix containing chloride. The present study proves the viability of electrocatalytic nanostructured materials to the treatment of antibiotics in complex matrices.

Abstract
The popular use of ciprofloxacin is often irrational, so it causes environmental pollution such as resistance. The solution to overcome environmental pollution due to ciprofloxacin is degradation by using TiO2 nanoparticles. TiO2 nanoparticles performance is influenced by environment such as light source, pH solvent, duration of lighting and TiO2 nanoparticles mass. The residual levels determination of ciprofloxacin was carried out by using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Toxicity test of ciprofloxacin degradation products with TiO2 nanoparticles used Escherichia coli bacteria. Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) was used to determine the type of ciprofloxacin degradation product with TiO2 nanoparticles. The optimum condition for the ciprofloxacin degradation with TiO2 nanoparticles is lighting for 5 hours by using a white mercury UV lamp and 50 mg TiO2 nanoparticles with pH solvent of 5.5. The toxicity of ciprofloxacin degradation product with TiO2 nanoparticles was low. The smallest degradation product identified with m/z was p-fluoraniline (m/z 111).

Superior selectivity of high-frequency ultrasound toward chorine containing-pharmaceuticals elimination in urine: A comparative study with other oxidation processes through the elucidation of the degradation pathways. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2021; 80:105814.

Abstract
This work considered the sonochemical degradation (using a bath-type reactor, at 375 kHz and 106.3 W L-1, 250 mL of sample) of three representative halogenated pharmaceuticals (cloxacillin, diclofenac, and losartan) in urine matrices. The action route of the process was initially established. Then, the selectivity of the sonochemical system, to degrade the target pharmaceuticals in simulated fresh urine was compared with electrochemical oxidation (using a BDD anode, at 1.88 mA cm-2), and UVC/H2O2 (at 60 W of light and 500 mol L-1 of H2O2). Also, the treatment of cloxacillin in an actual urine sample by ultrasound and UVC/H2O2 was evaluated. More than 90% of the target compounds concentration, in the simulated matrix, was removed after 60 min of sonication. However, the sono-treatment of cloxacillin in the real sample was less efficient than in the synthetic urine. The ultrasonic process achieved 43% of degradation after 90 min of treatment in the actual matrix. In the sonochemical system, hydroxyl radicals in the interfacial zone were the main degrading agents. Meanwhile, in the electrochemical process, electrogenerated HOCl was responsible for the elimination of pharmaceuticals. In turn, in UVC/H2O2 both direct photolysis and hydroxyl radicals degraded the target pollutants. Interestingly, the degradation by ultrasound of the pharmaceuticals in synthetic fresh urine was very close to the observed in distilled water. Indeed, the sonodegradation had a higher selectivity than the other two processes. Despite the sono-treatment of cloxacillin was affected by the actual matrix components, this contrasts with the UVC/H2O2, which was completely inhibited in the real urine. The sonochemical process led to 100% of antimicrobial activity (AA) elimination after 75 min sonication in the synthetic urine, and ∼ 20% of AA was diminished after 90 min of treatment in the real matrix. The AA decreasing was linked to the transformations of the penicillin nucleus on cloxacillin, the region most prone to electrophilic attacks by radicals according to a density theory functional analysis. Finally, predictions of biological activity confirmed that the sono-treatment decreased the activity associated with cloxacillin, diclofenac, and losartan, highlighting the positive environmental impact of degradation of chlorinated pharmaceuticals in urine.

Abstract
Antibiotic pollution is mainly caused by aquaculture wastewater and pharmaceuticals, which are frequently used by humans. Due to limited treatment efficiency or improper selection of treatment methods, these antibiotic residues may be very harmful in human drinking water and aquatic environments. The EAOPs coupling membrane technology (EAOPs-membrane) can play their own advantages, which can significantly improve the degradation efficiency and alleviate membrane pollution (electrochemical manners). In this context, this review mainly collecting researches and information on EAOPs-membrane treatment of antibiotic pollution published between 2012 and 2020. Discussed the different combinations of these two technologies, the mechanism of them in the system to improve the processing efficiency, prolong the working time, and stabilize the system structure. Mainly due to the synergistic effect of electrochemical behavior such as electric repulsion and in-situ oxidation, the membrane fouling in the system is alleviated. In this review it was summarized that the selection of different membrane electrode materials and their modifications. The paper also elaborates the existing challenges facing the EAOPs-membrane methods for antibiotic pollution treatment, and their prospects.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been widely detected in wastewater and surface water, indicating that the removal of NSAIDs by wastewater treatment plants was not efficient. Electrochemical advanced oxidation technology is considered to be an effective process. This study presents an investigation of the kinetics, mechanism, and influencing factors of diclofenac (DCF) degradation by an electrochemical process with boron-doped diamond anodes. Relative operating parameters and water quality parameters are examined. It appears that the degradation follows the pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics. DCF degradation was accelerated with the increase of pH from 6 to 10. The degradation was promoted by the addition of electrolyte concentrations and current density. Humic acid and bicarbonate significantly inhibited the degradation, whereas chloride accelerated it. According to the quenching tests, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and sulfate radicals contributed 76.5% and 6.5%, respectively, to the degradation. Sodium sulfate remains a more effective electrolyte, compared to sodium nitrate and sodium phosphate, suggesting the quenching effect of nitrate and phosphate on •OH. Major DCF transformation products were identified. According to the degradation products detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, hydroxylation and decarboxylation are the main pathways of DCF degradation; while dechlorination, chlorination, and nitro substitution are also included in this electrochemical degradation process.

Abstract
Degradation of two representative antihypertensives, losartan (LOS) and valsartan (VAL) in water by photo-electro-Fenton (PEF), using a BDD anode in presence of sulfate anion was evaluated. PEF showed a fast elimination of these pollutants (>95% at 30 and 60 min of treatment for LOS and VAL, respectively). The main elimination route was the attacks of radicals produced in the system, having pseudo-first-order rate constants of 0.154 and 0.054 min-1 for LOS and VAL, correspondingly. Theoretical analyses of atomic charges were performed to rationalize the antihypertensives reactivity toward the electrogenerated degrading agents. Afterwards, the primary transformation products were assessed. The transformation products revealed that the degrading species attack the biphenyl-tetrazole, imidazole, and alcohol moieties on LOS. Meanwhile, carboxylic and amide groups, plus the central nucleus, were modified on VAL. These moieties corresponded well with the electron-rich sites indicated by the theoretical calculations. Also, the PEF process removed between 33 and 38% of total organic carbon after 5 h of electrolysis. Finally, it was considered LOS treatment in presence of oxalic acid (a typical organic waste of pharmaceutical industry), in addition to the pollutant degradation in effluents from municipal sewage treatment plants by PEF at pH ∼5. Oxalic acid accelerated LOS degradation. Meanwhile, in the effluent, the process led to 64% of LOS removal after 120 min of treatment, indicating the high potentiality of PEF to degrade antihypertensives in water containing organic and inorganic substances.

Abstract
Synthetic manganese porphyrins (MnPs), in the presence of oxidants, were employed for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and levofloxacin (LEV) degradation by iodosylbenzene, iodobenzene diacetate, H2O2 and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid using water-soluble MnP catalysts yielded thirteen and nine products, respectively, seven of which have been proposed for the first time. The MnP catalysts have demonstrated the ability to degrade these antibiotics to a high degree (up to 100% degradation). The structures of the degradation products were proposed based on mass spectrometry analysis, and density functional theory calculations could confirm how the substituent moieties attached to the basic chemical structure of the fluoroquinolones influence the degradation reactions. CIP has been shown to be a more reactive substrate towards the porphyrinic catalysts tested because of its three-membered ring. However, the catalysts could almost completely degrade LEV, highlighting the ability of these porphyrins to act as catalysts to degrade environmental pollutants.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to understand the influence of the characteristics of boron-doped diamond anodes on the degradation of Penicillin G contained in urine. Therefore, five commercial BDD anodes with different boron doping levels (100 ppm - 8000 ppm) were studied. These electrodes were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and electrolysis. The boron doping was found to correlate well with the electrochemical properties of the electrodes, and results indicate a different behavior in drug degradation. The improvement in the toxicity and the reduction of the antibiotic effect of urine were the most innovative inputs monitored. For this, the concentration of Penicillin G, the toxicity toward Vibrio fisheri, and the antibiotic effect in Enterococcus faecalis were monitored. The best results were found for the BDD with a boron content of 200 ppm, capable of removing 100% of the antibiotic, reducing toxicity by 90%, and eradicating the antibiotic effect. These results indicate that low doping levels are more efficient for urine removal by anodic oxidation.

Abstract
The bio-electro-Fenton (BEF) technology has proven to be an effective and energy-saving method for treating wastewaters containing a single pharmaceutical in the lab-scale. However, the continuous degradation of pharmaceuticals in a scaled-up BEF has never been reported. In this study, a 20-L dual-chamber BEF reactor was designed and tested for treating six model pharmaceuticals. The effect of key operational factors including applied voltage, cathode Fe2+ dosage, initial pharmaceuticals concentration and hydraulic retention time (HRT), were assessed. By implementing 0.1 V voltage, 0.3 mM Fe2+ and HRT of 26 h, the six selected pharmaceuticals (500 μg L-1 for each) were removed completely. Moreover, transformation products during clofibric acid degradation, such as 4-chlororesorcinol, were detected and the relevant transformation pathway was proposed. Additionally, it successfully removed these pharmaceuticals in the real wastewater matrix. This paper contributes to scaling-up the BEF process for continuous and effective treating pharmaceuticals-contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
Wastewaters containing recalcitrant and toxic organic pollutants are scarcely decontaminated in conventional wastewater facilities. Then, there is an urgent challenge the development of powerful oxidation processes to ensure their organic removal in order to preserve the water quality in the environment. This review presents the recent development of an electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) like the photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) process, covering the period 2010-2019, as an effective treatment for wastewater remediation. The high oxidation ability of this photo-assisted Fenton-based EAOP is due to the combination of in situ generated hydroxyl radicals and the photolytic action of UV or sunlight irradiation over the treated wastewater. Firstly, the fundamentals and characteristics of the PEF process are described to understand the role of oxidizing agents. Further, the properties of the homogeneous PEF process with iron catalyst and UV irradiation and the benefit of sunlight in the homogeneous solar PEF one (SPEF) are discussed, supported with examples over their application to the degradation and mineralization of synthetic solutions of industrial chemicals, herbicides, dyes and pharmaceuticals, as well as real wastewaters. Novel heterogeneous PEF processes involving solid iron catalysts or iron-modified cathodes are subsequently detailed. Finally, the oxidation power of hybrid processes including photocatalysis/PEF, solar photocatalysis/SPEF, photoelectrocatalysis/PEF and solar photoelectrocatalysis/SPEF, followed by that of sequential processes like electrocoagulation/PEF and biological oxidation coupled to SPEF, are analyzed.

Development of an Electrochemical Ceramic Membrane Bioreactor for the Removal of PPCPs from Wastewater. WATER 2020.

Abstract
The removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) from water and wastewater is of great significance for eco-system safety. In this study, an electrochemical ceramic membrane bioreactor (ECMBR) was developed for removing seven groups (24 kinds in total) of PPCPs from real wastewater. In the presence of an electric field (2 V/cm), the ECMBR could enhance the removal efficiencies for most targeted PPCPs without having adverse impacts on conventional pollutant removal and membrane filtration. The ECMBR achieved higher removal efficiencies for fluoroquinolones (82.8%), β-blockers (24.6%), and sulfonamides (41.0%) compared to the control (CMBR) (52.9%, 4.6%, and 36.4%). For trimethoprim, ECMBR also significantly increased the removal to 66.5% compared to 15.6% in CMBR. Furthermore, the exertion of an electric field did not cause significant changes in microbial communities, suggesting that the enhanced removal of PPCPs should be attributed to the electrochemical oxidation of the built-in electrodes in the ECMBR.

Abstract
In this work, the removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was studied by electro-Fenton (EF) technique using different molar ratio of Mn2+/Fe2+ based on a chemically modified graphite felt (MGF) cathode. The CIP removal efficiency reached 95.62% in 30 min and the removal efficiency of total organic carbon (TOC) reached 94.00% in 8 h under optimal conditions (50 mg/L initial CIP concentration, 400 mA applied current, 2:1 M ratio of Mn2+/Fe2+, and 3 initial pH value). A possible pathway of CIP degradation was supposed according to the analysis of the by-products detected during the EF process. An expanding experiment for CIP removal was also conducted by using acid mine drainage (AMD) rich in iron and manganese to replace the homogeneous solution in EF, and the CIP removal efficiency of 89.00% in 60 min under the optimal conditions may assign new perspectives for organic pollutants removals by utilizing AMD.

Abstract
Sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been widely applied in environmental remediation during the past decade, especially in the degradation of refractory organic contaminants. The electrochemical method, which is considered as one of the most efficient ways to generate sulfate radical, has been extensively investigated for the activation of persulfate recently. This work presented a thorough assessment towards the performance of electrochemically activated persulfate for the removal of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in aqueous systems. The mechanism and superiority of electrochemically activated persulfates were revealed accordingly. Some major factors (e.g., electrode material, pH, current density, and persulfate concentration) influencing the electrochemical activation of persulfates to remove POPs were also discussed. Considering the increasing quantity of publications on this subject, it is significant to broader guidelines such as the efficiency for practical application, quantization of organic by-products, and cost-effectiveness of the electrochemical method to optimize active persulfate in the water treatment processes.

Abstract
In this study, electrochemical oxidation of Acid Orange 7 (AO 7) azo dye has been investigated using a Fe-doped PbO2 electrode. The degradation of AO 7 followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. The removals of AO 7, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) were 87.15%, 49.88% and 44.94% after 60 min of electrolysis at the optimal conditions (Na2SO4 concentration 0.1 M, initial pH 5, initial AO 7 concentration 100 mg L-1 and applied current density 20 mA cm-2), respectively. And the corresponding degradation rate constant was 0.035 min-1. The intermediates formed during electrochemical process were identified, and a possible degradation pathway was proposed, which was initiated by the oxidation of azo bond (-NN-), hydroxylation and substitution reaction of -NH2 and -SO3H under the attack of OH, and ended with the formation of mineralization products such as NH4+, NO3-, SO42-, CO2 and H2O. The toxicity of treated AO 7 solution towards Vibrio fischeri increased slightly at first and then rapidly reduced to non-toxicity with prolonging time. The results indicate that electrochemical oxidation of AO 7 using Fe-doped PbO2 electrode is a promising way.

Abstract
Quantification of extractable antibiotics in soils is important to assessing their bioavailability and mobility, and ultimately their ecotoxicological and health risks. This study aimed to establish a biosensor method for detecting extractable tetracyclines in soils (Alfisol, Mollisol, and Ultisol) using whole-cell biosensors containing a reporter plasmid (pMTGFP or pMTmCherry) carrying fluorescent protein genes tightly controlled by tetracyclines-responsive control region (tetRO). This whole-cell biosensor method can simultaneously measure 96 or more samples within 6 h and is easily parallelizable, whereas a typical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method may require 7 times more of analysis time and much greater cost to achieve similar analytical throughput. The biosensor method had a detection limit for each of six tetracyclines between 5.32-10.2 μg/kg soil, which is considered adequate for detecting tetracyclines in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) extracts of soils. Relative standard deviation was between 19.8-51.2% for the biosensor Escherichia coli DH5α/pMTGFP and 2.98-25.8% for E. coli DH5α/pMTmCherry, respectively, suggesting that E. coli DH5α/pMTmCherry was superior to E. coli DH5α/pMTGFP for detecting extractable tetracyclines in soils. This new, fast, easily parallelizable, and cost-effective biosensor method has the potential for measuring extractable concentrations of tetracyclines for a large number of soil samples in large-scale monitoring studies.

Abstract
Sulfonamide-class antibiotics are recognized as water pollutants, which have negative environmental impacts. A strategy to deal with sulfonamides is throughout the application of oxidation processes. This work presents the treatment of the sulfacetamide (SAM) antibiotic by electrochemical oxidation, UV-C/H2O2 and photo-Fenton process. It was established the main degradation routes during each process action. A DFT computational analysis for SAM structure was done and mass spectra of primary transformation products were determined. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) were also followed. Additionally, SAM treatment in simulated seawater and hospital wastewater was measured. These data can be useful for comparative purposes about degradation of sulfonamide-class antibiotics by electrochemical and advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation processes usually favored specific degradation pathways depending on anode materials. In this work, a series of sulfonamides (SNs) were degraded by electrochemical oxidation. Compared to Pt anodes (0.1567–0.1795 h−1), degradation rates of SNs were much higher at boron‐doped diamond (BDD) anodes (2.4290–13.1950 h−1). However, the same intermediates were detected in the two anode systems. Due to the strong oxidizing ability of BDD anodes, a large amount of intermediates with high toxicities were initially generated and then finally reduced in the BDD anode systems, while the amount of intermediates continuously increased in the Pt anode systems. Additionally, SNs were degraded faster in Na2SO4 than NaH2PO4 electrolytes at BDD anodes, while they were similar at Pt anodes. This study demonstrated that the degradation pathways of SNs at BDD and Pt anodes were similar, but the evolutions of intermediate amounts and toxicities were different due to their varied oxidizing abilities.
