Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging environmental contaminants that often co-exist with tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in the environment. However, the joint effect of TBBPA and photoaged MPs at ambient concentrations remains unknown largely. In this study, the combined toxicity of ultraviolet-aged polystyrene (UV-PS) and TBBPA was investigated in Caenorhabditis elegans. UV irradiation could change the physical and chemical characteristics of polystyrene (PS), and UV-PS (90.218 μg/g) showed a stronger adsorption capacity than PS of 79.424 μg/g. Toxicity testing showed that 1 μg/L UV-PS enhanced the toxic effect of 1 μg/L TBBPA by reducing body length, locomotion behavior, and brood size in nematodes. Using ROS production, lipofuscin accumulation, and expression of gst-4::GFP as endpoints, the combined exposure of UV-PS and TBBPA induced stronger oxidative stress than TBBPA alone. Joint exposure to UV-PS and TBBPA significantly increased of Nile red and blue food dye in its intestinal tract compared to that in the TBBPA exposure group, indicating that co-exposure enhanced intestinal permeability. After co-exposure to UV-PS and TBBPA, the expression of the associated genes detected increased significantly. Therefore, UV-PS enhances the adverse effects of TBBPA through intestinal damage and oxidative stress in nematodes. These findings suggest that the co-presence of photoaged PS and TBBPA results in high environmental risks.

[PMID: 38078399 PMCID: PMC10750807 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c09920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/22/2023]
Abstract
Quantum dot-based materials have been found to be excellent platforms for biosensing and bioimaging applications. Herein, self-propelled microrobots made of graphene quantum dots (GQD-MRs) have been synthesized and explored as unconventional dynamic biocarriers toward the optical "on-the-fly" monitoring of DNA. As a first demonstration of applicability, GQD-MRs have been first biofunctionalized with a DNA biomarker (i.e., fluorescein amidite-labeled, FAM-L) via hydrophobic π-stacking interactions and subsequently exposed toward different concentrations of a DNA target. The biomarker-target hybridization process leads to a biomarker release from the GQD-MR surface, resulting in a linear alteration in the fluorescence intensity of the dynamic biocarrier at the nM range (1-100 nM, R2 = 0.99), also demonstrating excellent selectivity and sensitivity, with a detection limit as low as 0.05 nM. Consequently, the developed dynamic biocarriers, which combine the appealing features of GQDs (e.g., water solubility, fluorescent activity, and supramolecular π-stacking interactions) with the autonomous mobility of MRs, present themselves as potential autonomous micromachines to be exploited as highly efficient and sensitive "on-the-fly" biosensing systems. This method is general and can be simply customized by tailoring the biomarker anchored to the GQD-MR's surface.

Abstract
Gaining insight into the occurrence states of residual antibiotics is crucial to demystify their environmental behavior. However, the complexation of heteroatoms functioned on antibiotic molecules to metal ions in the water environment is not fully understood. This study reports that a fluorescence response was unexpectedly triggered by tetracycline (TC) and Al3+, serving as solid evidence to visualize the Al3+-TC coordination reaction. Differential electron absorption spectroscopy shows a quantifiable signal of the redshifted n-π* transition with a coordination reaction, which is also proportional to the fluorescence. The occurrence of Al3+-complexed TC also caused a split in retention time in liquid chromatogram. The TC ligands were re-released in the presence of stronger ligands competing for central Al3+. The complex ratio of Al3+-TC is confirmed to be 1:1 using Job's plot with a stability constant of 1.01 × 106. Quantum chemical computations coupled with Gibbs free energy analysis simulated the formation of octahedral Al3+-TC configuration through a spontaneous bidentate chelation. This study helps convey a broad consensus and opens a new door in the mechanistic study of metal-involved antibiotic transformation process, leading to a better understanding that can ultimately be essential to reach the final goal of alleviating the antibiotic crisis.

Abstract
Cyanotoxins such as microcystin-LR (MC-LR) represent a global environmental threat to ecosystems and drinking water supplies. The study investigated the direct use of graphene as a rational interface for removal of MC-LR via interactions with the aromatic ring of the ADDA1 chain of MC-LR and the sp2 hybridized carbon network of graphene. Intra-particle diffusion model fit indicated the high mesoporosity of graphene provided significant enhancements to both adsorption capacities and kinetics when benchmarked against microporous granular activated carbon (GAC). Graphene showed superior MC-LR adsorption capacity of 75.4 mg/g (Freundlich model) compared to 0.982 mg/g (Langmuir model) for GAC. Sorption kinetic studies showed graphene adsorbs 99% of MC-LR in 30 min, compared to zero removal for GAC after 24 hr using the same MC-LR concentration. Density functional theory (DFT), calculations showed that postulated π-based interactions align well with the NMR-based experimental work used to probe primary interactions between graphene and MC-LR adduct. This study proved that π-interactions between the aromatic ring on MC-LR and graphene sp2 orbitals are a dominant interaction. With rapid kinetics and adsorption capacities much higher than GAC, it is anticipated that graphene will offer a novel molecular approach for removal of toxins and emerging contaminants with aromatic systems.

Abstract
The contamination of the aquatic environment with antibiotics is among the major and developing problems worldwide. The present study investigates the potential of adsorbent magnetite-chitosan nanoparticles (Fe3O4/CS NPs) for removing trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX). For this purpose, Fe3O4/CS NPs were synthesized by the co-precipitation method, and the adsorbent characteristics were investigated using XRD, SEM, TEM, pHzpc, FTIR, and VSM. The effect of independent variables (pH, sonication time, adsorbent amount, and analyte concentration) on removal performance was modeled and evaluated by Box-Behnken design (BBD). The SEM image of the Fe3O4/CS adsorbent showed that the adsorbent had a rough and irregular surface. The size of Fe3O4/CS crystals was about 70 nm. XRD analysis confirmed the purity and absence of impurities in the adsorbent. TEM image analysis showed that the adsorbent had a porous structure, and the particle size was in the range of nanometers. In VSM, the saturation magnetization of Fe3O4/CS adsorbent was 25 emu g-1 and the magnet could easily separate the adsorbent from the solution. The results revealed that the optimum condition was achieved at a concentration of 22 mg L-1, a sonication time of 15 min, an adsorbent amount of 0.13 g/100 mL, and a pH of 6. Among different solvents (i.e., ethanol, acetone, nitric acid, and acetonitrile), significant desorption of TMP and SMX was achieved using ethanol. Also, results confirmed that Fe3O4/CS NPs can be used for up to six adsorption/desorption cycles. In addition, applying the Fe3O4/CS NPs on real water samples revealed that Fe3O4/CS NPs could remove TMP and SMX in the 91.23-95.95% range with RSD (n = 3) < 4. Overall, the Fe3O4/CS NPs exhibit great potential for removing TMP and SMX antibiotics from real water samples.

Abstract
The resulting antibiotic residue and organic chemicals from continuous climatic change, urbanization and increasing food demand have a detrimental impact on environmental and human health protection. So, we created a unique B, N-CQDs (Boron, Nitrogen doping carbon quantum dots) based fluorescent nanosensor to investigate novel sensing methodologies for the precise and concentrated identification of antibiotics and phenol derivatives substances to ensure that they are included in the permitted percentages. The as-prepared highly fluorescent B, N-CQDs had a limited range of sizes between 1 and 6 nm and average sizes of 2.5 nm in our study. The novel B, N-CQDs showed high sensitivity and selectivity for phenolic derivatives such as hydroquinone, resorcinol, and para aminophenol, as well as organic solvents such as hexane, with low detection limits of 0.05, 0.024, 0.032 and 0.013 µM respectively in an aqueous medium. The high fluorescence B, N-CQDs probes were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The outcomes were compared to carbon quantum dots (CQDs) previously generated from Urea.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of ultraviolet (UV) photolysis combined with electrochemical oxidation on sulfonamides (SAs) as well as its treated effluent on the bacterial community in surface water. In terms of degradation rate, the best anode material for electrochemical oxidation was Ti/RuO2-IrO2, which had the highest degradation kinetic constant compared to Ti/Ta2O5-IrO2 and Ti/Pt. Experiments showed the highest degradation rate of SAs at 8.3 pH. Similarly, increasing the current leads to stronger degradation due to the promotion of free chlorine production, and its energy consumption rate decreases slightly from 73 to 67 W h/mmol. Compared with tap water, the kinetic constants decreased by 20-62% for SAs in three different surface water samples, which was related to the decrease in free chlorine. When extending the reaction time to 24 h, the concentrations of chemical oxygen demand and total organic carbon decreased by approximately 30-40%, indicating that the SAs and their products could be mineralized. The diversity analysis showed that the effluents influenced the richness and diversity of the bacterial community, particularly in the 4 h sample. Additionally, there were 86 operational taxonomic units common to all samples, excluding the 4 h sample; significant differences were derived from changes in the Actinobacteriota and Bacteroidota phyla. The toxicity of the products might explain these changes, and these products could be mineralized, as observed in the 24 h sample. Therefore, the extension of treatment time would greatly reduce the ecological harm of treated effluent and ensure that the UV/electrochemical process is a feasible treatment option. Overall, this study provides valuable insight into the optimization and feasibility of UV/electrochemical processes as a sustainable treatment option for sulfonamide-contaminated water sources, emphasizing the importance of considering ecological impacts and the need for extended treatment times that address environmental concerns and ensuring improved water quality.

Abstract
An inexpensive and environmentally friendly composite synthesized from rice husk, impregnated with montmorillonite and activated by carbon dioxide, was investigated for the removal of azithromycin from an aqueous solution. Various techniques were used to characterize adsorbents in detail. The sorption process was primarily regulated by the solution pH, pollutant concentration, contact duration, adsorbent dose, and solution temperature. The equilibrium data were best analyzed using the nonlinear Langmuir and Sips (R2 > 0.97) isotherms, which revealed that adsorption occurs in a homogenous manner. The adsorption capacity of pristine biochar and carbon dioxide activated biochar-montmorillonite composite was 33.4 mg g-1 and 44.73 mg g-1, respectively. Kinetic studies identified that the experimental data obeyed the pseudo-second-order and Elovich models (R2 > 0.98) indicating the chemisorption nature of adsorbents. The thermodynamic parameters determined the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the reaction. The ion exchange, π-π electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) interactions, hydrogen-bonding, and electrostatic interactions were the plausible mechanisms responsible for the adsorption process. This study revealed that a carbon dioxide activated biochar-montmorillonite composite may be used as an effective, sustainable, and economical adsorbent for the removal of azithromycin from polluted water.

Abstract
Selective transport of anions across membranes has become an important goal in chemistry and biology. Here, we found an anomalous anion transfer order within the graphene oxide membrane: Cl- > Br- > F- > I-. This is at odds with the conventional ranking of the transfer order, which usually decreases as the radii of the anions increase, i.e., F- > Cl- > Br- > I-. The abnormal transportation of F- can be ascribed to the strong anion-π interactions between F- and graphene oxide sheets. Such unexpectedly strong anion-π interaction resulted in the lower movement of F- in the graphene oxide membrane and caused the anomalous anion transfer order. Our findings not only provide experimental evidence of anion-π interactions, but also improve our understanding of anion-π interactions in the selective transport of anions across a two-dimensional membrane.

Metal organic framework-derived recyclable magnetic coral Co@Co 3O 4/C for adsorptive removal of antibiotics from wastewater.

Abstract
The menace posed by antibiotic contamination to humanity has increased due to the absence of efficient antibiotic removal processes in the conventional waste water treatment methods from the hospitals, households, animal husbandry, and pharma industry. Importantly, only a few commercially available adsorbents are magnetic, porous, and have the ability to selectively bind and separate various classes of antibiotics from the slurries. Herein, we report the synthesis of a coral-like Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrid for the remediation of three different classes of antibiotics - quinolone, tetracycline, and sulphonamide. The coral like Co@Co3O4/C materials are synthesized via a facile room temperature wet chemical method followed by annealing in a controlled atmosphere. The materials demonstrate an attractive porous structure with an excellent surface-to-mass ratio of 554.8 m2 g-1 alongside superior magnetic responses. A time-varying adsorption study of aqueous nalidixic acid solution on Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrids indicates that these coral-like Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrids could achieve a high removal efficiency of 99.98% at pH 6 in 120 min. The adsorption kinetics data of Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrids follow a pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics suggesting a chemisorption effect. The adsorbent has also shown its merit in reusability for four adsorption-desorption cycles without showing significant change in the removal efficiency. More in-depth studies validate that the excellent adsorption capability of Co@Co3O4/C adsorbent attributing to the electrostatic and π-π interaction between adsorbent and various antibiotics. Concisely, the adsorbent manifests the potential for the removal of a wide range of antibiotics from the water alongside showing their utility in the hassle-free magnetic separation.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotics in the aqueous environment has been a serious concern primarily due to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in diverse microbial populations. To overcome the rising AMR concerns, antibiotic decontamination of the environmental matrices may play a vital role. The present study investigates the use of zinc-activated ginger-waste derived biochar for the removal of six antibiotics belonging to three different classes, viz., β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and tetracyclines from the water matrix. The adsorption capacities of activated ginger biochar (AGB) for the concurrent removal of the tested antibiotics were investigated at different contact times, temperatures, pH values, and initial concentrations of the adsorbate and adsorbent doses. AGB demonstrated high adsorption capacities of 5.00, 17.42, 9.66, 9.24, 7.15, and 5.40 mg/g for amoxicillin, oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, chlortetracycline, and doxycycline, respectively. Further, among the employed isotherm models, the Langmuir model fitted well for all the antibiotics except oxacillin. The kinetic data of the adsorption experiments followed the pseudo-second order kinetics suggesting chemisorption as the preferred adsorption mechanism. Adsorption studies at different temperatures were conducted to obtain the thermodynamic characteristics suggesting a spontaneous exothermic adsorption phenomenon. AGB being a waste-derived cost-effective material shows promising antibiotic decontamination from the water environment.

The synergistic effect of chemical oxidation and microbial activity on improving volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production during the animal wastewater anaerobic digestion process treated with persulfate/biochar. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 857:159276. [PMID: 36216057 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Improving volatile fatty acid (VFA) production, rather than producing methane from the anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste, has become a new strategy of resource utilization. In regard to animal wastewater, the effectiveness of persulfate/biochar (potassium peroxodisulfate, PDS/BC) on the hydrolysis and acidogenesis stages and the reaction mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, the AD process on cow wastewater was controlled at the hydrolysis and acidification stages by setting the hydraulic retention time (HRT) at 25 days. The results showed that the contents of total solids (TS) and volatile solids (VS) were further reduced by PDS/BC treatment with 0.15 gPDS/gTS of PDS added. The VFAs production increased by 12.4 % from day 0 to 25 compared to the blank set. Based on our molecular analysis, the rate of increase for the dissolved organic matter with low molecular weight (0-10 kDa) was 699.5 mg/(L·d) in the first 10 days. The change rate increased nearly 2.1 times, leading to higher VFAs yield. Moreover, the activities of fermentative bacteria were enhanced and Anaerocella was determined to be the specific and critical genus. However, excessive PDS (0.3 gPDS/gTS) prolonged the acidification period and caused the inactivation of fermentative bacteria. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that PDS can directly affect VFAs yield and also had an indirect effect by influencing the decomposition of particulate matter and microbial activities. Therefore, the enhancement of VFAs production using the PDS/BC method could be due to synergistic chemical and microbial effects. Findings from this study can provide a practical strategy to enhance the VFAs production of AD technology for livestock wastewater and help reveal the reaction mechanism of PDS/BC treatment.

Abstract
Antibiotics have attracted considerable attention as pollutants; however, they have not been controlled because they cannot be effectively treated via conventional water treatment. In this study, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) was prepared, and its adsorption performance on multiple trace antibiotics in water was investigated by considering sulfamethoxazole, levofloxacin, clindamycin, tetracycline, penicillin, and chloramphenicol as target pollutants. The results demonstrated that the adsorption process was completed within 60 min at a removal rate exceeding 80%. The adsorption process was in line with the first-order kinetic equation and the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model, with a theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 1,265.82 mg g-1 . Meanwhile, the effect of pH value was related to the structure of antibiotics. Simulation studies showed that anions and cations in natural water matrix did not inhibit the adsorption process, whereas humic acid adversely affected the adsorption effect. Characterizations revealed that the N-rGO surface was wrinkled with abundant and diverse oxygen-containing functional groups, which provided suitable conditions for efficient adsorption. The results indicated that N-rGO rapidly and effectively adsorbed trace antibiotics in water, thus providing a basis for constructing an adsorption-catalytic oxidation system. Overall, the proposed method is excellent for treating trace antibiotics in a water environment.

Abstract
Two-dimensional carbonaceous materials have sparked extensive attention in organic pollutants adsorption due to their unique structure to facilitate the formation of the physical or chemical bonding. Herein, natural two-dimensional porous activated carbon nanosheets with ultra-high specific surface area (2276.44 m2 g-1) are prepared by alkaline immersion-assisted circulating calcination techniques from corn straw piths. The prepared nanosheets exhibit rapid tetracycline adsorption capacity (633 mg g-1 within 5 min) and high equilibrium adsorption capacity of 804.5 mg g-1. Significantly, the nanosheets can adapt to a wide range of pH (at least between pH = 3-10) and are almost unaffected by coexisting ions. Mechanism studies and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the rapid and high-efficient adsorption of tetracycline mainly depends on the π-π electron donor receptor interactions. In addition, hydrogen bonding and pore filling was also responsible for tetracycline adsorption. This work provides important guidance for the development of the biobased high-performance adsorbents from agricultural waste.

Abstract
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a wild floating plant that can be found widely in pond or river areas. The plant grows fiercely and causes many harmful issues to the ecosystem around its covered area. This work provides a utilization method that converts wild water hyacinth to reliable magnetic biochar which can be used as a very effective adsorbent for the removal of lead ion Pb(II) in industrial wastewater. The mentioned magnetic biochar can be prepared via a modified pyrolysis process at 550°C with the support of cobalt sulfates as magnetite precursors and limited oxygen from the sweeping gas (the gas mixture ratio is 4 : 1 nitrogen/oxygen). The produced samples were hydrophobic biochar with high oxygen-containing functional groups that are suitable for the removal of inorganic contaminants. The impregnation of cobalt (II, III) oxides provided high magnetic separation performance and additional adsorption sites on the produced magnetic biochar. As indicated by the obtained result, the WHB-Co2M sample possesses a highly porous structure (0.126 cc/g), higher thermal stability (thermal durability reaches 900°C), relatively stable magnetic properties (14.74 emu/g), and a larger surface area (192 m2/g). These beneficial properties led to its suitability to serve as an adsorbent in removing lead ions in the contaminated effluent, recording 95% of removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of 67.815 mg/g. As indicated in the result, all prepared magnetic biochar samples were fitted to two-parameter (Langmuir models) and three-parameter (Sips model) isotherm models. Therefore, the adsorption process in this work could be carried out on both homogeneous and heterogeneous adsorbent surfaces. The adsorption kinetics of the removal process also was described by the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models to reveal the adsorption and desorption rate of the as-prepared magnetic biochar. This work indicates a successful waste refinery route of converting lignocellulosic biomass such as water hyacinth into value-added material for use as promising heavy metal adsorbents.

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

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) have recently attracted much attention due to their widespread distribution in the aquatic environment. Microplastics can act as a vector of heavy metals in the aquatic environment, causing a potential threat to aquatic organisms and human health. This review mainly summarized the occurrence of microplastics in the aquatic environment and their interaction with heavy metals. Then, we considered the adsorption mechanisms of MPs and heavy metals, and further critically discussed the effects of microplastics properties and environmental factors (e.g., pH, DOM, and salinity) on the adsorption of heavy metals. Finally, the potential risks of combined exposure of MPs and heavy metals to aquatic biota were briefly evaluated. This work aims to provide a theoretical summary of the interaction between MPs and heavy metals, and is expected to serve as a reference for the accurate assessment of their potential risks in future studies.

Abstract
Functional nMnOx@RBC composites were synthesized via a simple co-precipitation method. The nanomaterials have efficient activity in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for removal of chlorophenols (CPs). Rice husk biochar (RBC) could support nMnOx, and acted as an electron shuttle to mediate electron transfer reaction. nMnOx@RBC had superior catalytic and adsorption properties and exhibited remarkable synergistic effects. This led to complete degradation of 4-chloro-3-methyl phenol (CMP) in 60 min at the natural pH (7.0). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also identified via the corresponding scavengers. The results indicated that singlet oxygen (1O2) played a dominant role in the degradation of CMP within nMnOx@RBC system. Moreover, the mechanism of CMP decomposition was rationally proposed, and possible intermediate products were deduced. The high degradation performances of diverse CPs were also observed in nMnOx@RBC/PMS system. This research aims to offer novel insights into carbon-metal nanomaterials for the elimination of emerging pollutants.

Abstract
The widespread usage of veterinary antibiotics results in antibiotic contamination and increases environmental risks. This study was evaluated the single and ternary competitive adsorption-desorption and degradation of three amphenicol antibiotics (AMs): chloramphenicol (CAP), thiamphenicol (TAP), and florfenicol (FF) in three agricultural soils. The adsorption capacity of amphenicol antibiotics in the soil was weak, and the Kf value was in the range of 0.15-3.59 μg1-1/nL1/n kg-1. In the single adsorption-desorption experiment, the ranked order of adsorption capacity was TAP > FF > CAP. However, in the ternary competitive adsorption experiment, the order was changed to be CAP > FF > TAP. The degradation of AMs in soils was performed at various conditions. All AMs were vulnerable to microbial degradation in soils. A higher initial concentration would reduce the degradation rate and enhance the persistence of AMs in soil. The degradation of AMs was positively influenced by changes in soil moisture content and culture temperatures up to 30 °C and decreased at higher temperatures. An equation was used to predict the leachability of AMs in soils and assess their risk to the water environment. The weak adsorption capacity and poor persistence of FF indicated that it may have a strong effect on groundwater based on the equation. It is imperative to further assess the biological impacts of FF at environmentally relevant concentrations given its mobility and extensive use in the livestock industry.

Modern Carbon-Based Materials for Adsorptive Removal of Organic and Inorganic Pollutants from Water and Wastewater. Molecules 2021; 26:6628.

Abstract
Currently, a serious threat for living organisms and human life in particular, is water contamination with persistent organic and inorganic pollutants. To date, several techniques have been adopted to remove/treat organics and toxic contaminants. Adsorption is one of the most effective and economical methods for this purpose. Generally, porous materials are considered as appropriate adsorbents for water purification. Conventional adsorbents such as activated carbons have a limited possibility of surface modification (texture and functionality), and their adsorption capacity is difficult to control. Therefore, despite the significant progress achieved in the development of the systems for water remediation, there is still a need for novel adsorptive materials with tunable functional characteristics. This review addresses the new trends in the development of new adsorbent materials. Herein, modern carbon-based materials, such as graphene, oxidized carbon, carbon nanotubes, biomass-derived carbonaceous matrices-biochars as well as their composites with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF-derived highly-ordered carbons are considered as advanced adsorbents for removal of hazardous organics from drinking water, process water, and leachate. The review is focused on the preparation and modification of these next-generation carbon-based adsorbents and analysis of their adsorption performance including possible adsorption mechanisms. Simultaneously, some weak points of modern carbon-based adsorbents are analyzed as well as the routes to conquer them. For instance, for removal of large quantities of pollutants, the combination of adsorption and other methods, like sedimentation may be recommended. A number of efficient strategies for further enhancing the adsorption performance of the carbon-based adsorbents, in particular, integrating approaches and further rational functionalization, including composing these adsorbents (of two or even three types) can be recommended. The cost reduction and efficient regeneration must also be in the focus of future research endeavors. The targeted optimization of the discussed carbon-based adsorbents associated with detailed studies of the adsorption process, especially, for multicomponent adsorbate solution, will pave a bright avenue for efficient water remediation.

Abstract
Modifying hydrogels in order to enhance their conductivity is an exciting field with applications in cardio and neuro-regenerative medicine. Therefore, we have designed hybrid alginate hydrogels containing uncoated and protein-coated reduced graphene oxide (rGO). We specifically studied the adsorption of three different proteins, BSA, elastin, and collagen, and the outcomes when these protein-coated rGO nanocomposites are embedded within the hydrogels. Our results demonstrate that BSA, elastin, and collagen are adsorbed onto the rGO surface, through a non-spontaneous phenomenon that fits Langmuir and pseudo-second-order adsorption models. Protein-coated rGOs are able to preclude further adsorption of erythropoietin, but not insulin. Collagen showed better adsorption capacity than BSA and elastin due to its hydrophobic nature, although requiring more energy. Moreover, collagen-coated rGO hybrid alginate hydrogels showed an enhancement in conductivity, showing that it could be a promising conductive scaffold for regenerative medicine.

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
Over the past decade, biochar (BC) has received significant attention in many environmental applications, including water purification, since it is available as a low-cost by-product of the energetic valorisation of biomass. Biochar has many intrinsic characteristics, including its porous structure, which is similar to that of activated carbon (AC), which is the most widely used sorbent in water treatment. The physicochemical and performance characteristics of BCs are usually non-homogenously investigated, with several studies only evaluating limited parameters, depending on the individual perspective of the author. Within this review, we have taken an innovative approach to critically survey the methodologies that are generally used to characterize BCs and ACs to propose a comprehensive and ready-to-use database of protocols. Discussion about the parameters of chars that are usually correlated with adsorption performance in water purification is proposed, and we will also consider the physicochemical properties of pollutants (i.e., Kow). Uniquely, an adsorption efficiency index BC/AC is presented and discussed, which is accompanied by an economic perspective. According to our survey, non-homogeneous characterization approaches limit the understanding of the correlations between the pollutants to be removed and the physicochemical features of BCs. Moreover, the investigations of BC as an adsorption medium necessitate dedicated parallel studies to compare BC characteristics and performances with those of ACs.

Abstract
In this work, a modified g-C3N4/MgZnAl-calcined layered double hydroxide composite (M-CN/cLDH) was successfully fabricated via a template method. The composite material is a hierarchical porous flower-like nanostructure self-assembled from stacked hybrid flakes. The 3D M-CN/cLDH architectures exhibit a synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalysis for eliminating typical tetracycline antibiotics in seawater, i.e., oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), chlortetracycline (CTC), and doxycycline (DXC). The synergistic removal rate of OTC in seawater of M-CN/cLDH is 2.73 times higher than that of g-C3N4 after 120 min of visible-light illumination, and M-CN/cLDH also performs better adsorption-photocatalytic degradation on OTC in the continuous flow reaction process. The superior adsorption capability of the M-CN/cLDH is attributed to the open porous structures of cLDH, and its excellent photocatalytic degradation activity is ascribed to the closely bonded heterojunctions between g-C3N4 (CN) and cLDH double layers. The mass spectra reveals the degradation pathways of OTC, and its byproducts are less toxic after degradation for 120 min. The exploration of the M-CN/cLDH in synthetic mariculture wastewater suggested a huge potential for its practical application. With the assistance of magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) precipitation pretreatment, the material can effectively retain the high OTC removal rate in the synthetic mariculture wastewater circumstance.

Abstract
The present investigation deals with the adsorptive removal of crude petroleum oil from the water surface using coconut oil-modified pinewood biochar. Biochar generated at higher pyrolysis temperature (700 °C) revealed higher fatty acid-binding efficiency responsible for the excellent hydrophobicity of the biochar. Fatty acids composition attached to the biochar produced at 700 °C was (mg g-1 BC) lauric acid (9.024), myristic acid (5.065), palmitic acid (2.769), capric acid (1.639), oleic acid (1.362), stearic acid (1.114), and linoleic acid (0.130). Simulation of the experimental adsorption data of pristine and modified pinewood biochar generated at 700 °C offered the best fit to pseudo-first-order kinetics (R2 > 0.97) and Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 0.99) based on the highest regression coefficients. Consequently, the adsorption process was mainly driven by surface hydrophobic interactions including π-π electron-donor-acceptor between electron-rich (π-donor) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the crude oil and biochar (π-acceptor). A maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) of 5.315 g g-1 was achieved by modified floating biochar within 60 min. Whereas the reusability testing revealed 49.39% and 51.40% was the adsorption efficiency of pristine and modified biochar at the fifth adsorption-desorption cycle.

Abstract
To date, the degradation of microplastics (MPs; <5 mm) in different environments, particularly their adsorption characteristics for coexisted metal pollutants remains to be elucidated. Thus, this study investigated the effects of aging MPs, including polyamide (mPA), polyethylene terephthalate (mPET), polystyrene (mPS), and polyvinyl chloride (mPVC) for 3 months under UVA irradiation in four environmental media (air, seawater, sand, and soil) and adsorption of heavy metals (Cu, Cd) onto seawater-aged mPS and mPVC. The results showed that surface morphological changes, including cracks, oxidized particles, and wrinkles, appeared on aged MPs. The heavy metal adsorption capacity decreased in the order aged mPVC > aged mPS > unaged mPS > unaged mPVC, and the Cu2+ and Cd2+ ions competed for active adsorption sites on the MPs surfaces. Overall, the aging environment affected the physical and chemical properties of MPs and the aging of MPs enhanced their adsorption of coexisting metals tested.

Abstract
In this study, spent Auricularia auricula substrate (AS)-derived biochar (ASBCs) and activated biochar with NaOH (A-ASBC) were evaluated for the adsorption of cationic azo dyes, including methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RB), and crystal violet (CV), from single and binary adsorptive systems. A-ASBC showed a higher maximum adsorption capacity for these dyes (MB: 53.62 mg·g-1, RB: 32.33 mg·g-1, CV: 735.73 mg·g-1) than ASBCs in a single system because it had a greater specific surface area and more oxygen containing-functional groups on the surface. The adsorption process of the three dyes onto the adsorbents was in good agreement with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm and fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which revealed sorbate polymolecular layer formation over the adsorbent surface and the involvement of chemisorption. The adsorption mechanism showed that the adsorption of three dyes on adsorbents could be postulated as a multistep process with extraordinary affinity-induced adsorption in terms of both physisorption and chemisorption. In the binary adsorptive system, the results showed that all MB, RB, and CV had antagonistic/competitive effects on each other's adsorption (QBinary/QSingle < 1). Furthermore, a phytotoxic assay affirmed the effectiveness of the adsorbent in adsorbing dye species from aqueous solutions using Brassica pekinensis L. seeds as the model. Therefore, activated biochar prepared from AS can be used as a potentially economical and effective adsorbent for treating printing and dyeing wastewater.

Abstract
At present, activated carbon (AC) derived from industrial wastes has a great practical significance. In this work, residue activated carbon (RAC) was successfully synthesized from catechol distillation residue by a simple activation process based on two steps. The optimized RAC (RAC-800, activated at 800 °C) had high specific surface area (1800 m2/g) and large total pore volume (0.91 cm3/g). RAC-800 portrayed the evident increase of the graphitic structure and possessed abundant functional groups. Catechol (CC), phthalic acid (PA) and dimethyl phthalate (DMP) were chosen as typical pollutant to investigate the effect of different functional groups on adsorption aromatic compounds, and the equilibrium adsorption capacity of RAC-800 for CC, PA and DMP was 221.5, 365.0 and 449.9 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption behaviors were systematically studied by the combination of kinetic and thermodynamic model. The adsorption process was dominated by the π-π interaction, assisted by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. In addition, regeneration study showed that the adsorption capacity can still remain over 88.5% after five cycles. In total, fine chemical distillation residues are promising to turn into the precursor of activated carbon, which has potential to be used as a good adsorbent for removal of aromatic compounds.

Computational and experimental assessment of pH and specific ions on the solute solvent interactions of clay-biochar composites towards tetracycline adsorption: Implications on wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Experimental and computational investigations have been conducted in this study to assess the influence of municipal waste pyrolyzed biochar impregnated clay composites on antibiotic removal as a material for wastewater treatment and simultaneous value-addition for waste. The surface potential (zeta potential) of the pristine biochar and composite samples are found to be within the range ~10 to ~ -40 mV in the pH range 2-10. The presence of different inorganic salt solutions influences the electrophoretic mobility of the dispersed phase in a suspension, as well as its zeta potential. In addition of Na+ salt solutions, the Na+ ions undergo electrostatic interaction with the negatively charged biochar samples and form a double layer at the interface of biochar and ionic salt solution. Molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to understand experimental findings, ions adsorption and solute-solvent interactions at the molecular level of two biochar B7 (seven benzene rings, one methoxy, one aldehyde and two hydroxyls groups) and B17 (seventeen benzene rings, one methoxy, two hydroxyls and two carboxylic acid groups) in salts aqueous solutions. The results confirm that hydroxyls and carboxylate groups of biochar are responsible for solute-solvent interactions. Successful removal of tetracycline antibiotics is observed with 26 mg/g maximum adsorption capacity with montmorillonite biochar composite. This study confirms that interactions between amide and hydroxyl groups of tetracycline with hydroxyl and carboxylate groups of biochar play the key role in the adsorption process. The solution pH and presence of different background electrolytes effectively influence the process of solute-solvent interactions as well as adsorption efficacy towards tetracycline adsorption.

Abstract
With increasing environmental application, biochar (BC) will inevitably interact with and impact environmental behaviors of widely distributed extracellular DNA (eDNA), which however still remains to be studied. Herein, the adsorption/desorption and the degradation by nucleases of eDNA on three aromatized BCs pyrolyzed at 700 °C were firstly investigated. The results show that the eDNA was irreversibly adsorbed by aromatized BCs and the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich models accurately described the adsorption process. Increasing solution ionic strength or decreasing pH below 5.0 significantly increased the eDNA adsorption on BCs. However, increasing pH from 5.0 to 10.0 faintly decreased eDNA adsorption. Electrostatic interaction, Ca ion bridge interaction, and π-π interaction between eDNA and BC could dominate the eDNA adsorption, while ligand exchange and hydrophobic interactions were minor contributors. The presence of BCs provided a certain protection to eDNA against degradation by DNase I. BC-bound eDNA could be partly degraded by nuclease, while BC-bound nuclease completely lost its degradability. These findings are of fundamental significance for the potential application of biochar in eDNA dissemination management and evaluating the environmental fate of eDNA.

Abstract
This study investigated the competitive adsorption mechanisms of pharmaceuticals (i.e., naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen) toward the pristine and NaOH-activated biochars from spent coffee wastes (SCW) in lake water and wastewater effluent. The kinetic and isotherm studies revealed that the improved physicochemical characteristics and physically homogenized surfaces of the pristine SCW biochar through the chemical activation with NaOH were beneficial to the adsorption of pharmaceuticals (competitive equilibrium adsorption capacity (Qe, exp): NaOH-activated SCW biochar (61.25-192.07 μmol/g) > pristine SCW biochar (14.81-20.65 μmol/g)). The adsorptive removal of naproxen (Qe, exp = 14.81-18.81 μmol/g), diclofenac (Qe, exp = 15.73-20.00 μmol/g), and ibuprofen (Qe, exp = 16.20-20.65 μmol/g) for the pristine SCW biochar showed linear correlations with their hydrophobicity (log D at pH 7.0: ibuprofen (1.71) > diclofenac (1.37) > naproxen (0.25)). However, their Qe, exp values for the NaOH-activated SCW biochar (naproxen (176.39-192.07 μmol/g) > diclofenac (78.44-98.74 μmol/g) > ibuprofen (61.25-80.02 μmol/g)) were inversely correlated to the order of their log D values. These results suggest that the reinforced aromatic structure of the NaOH-activated SCW biochar facilitated the π-π interaction. The calculated thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the competitive adsorption of pharmaceuticals on the NaOH-activated SCW biochar compared to pristine SCW biochar occurred more spontaneously over the entire pH (5.0-11.0) and ionic strength (NaCl: 0-0.125 M) ranges. These observations imply that the NaOH-activated SCW biochar might be potentially applicable for the removal of pharmaceuticals in lake water and wastewater effluent.

Antibiotics removal from aquatic environments: adsorption of enrofloxacin, trimethoprim, sulfadiazine, and amoxicillin on vegetal powdered activated carbon.

Abstract
This study addresses the growing concern about the high levels of antibiotics in water, outlining an alternative for their removal. The adsorption of four representative antibiotics from commonly used families (fluoroquinolones, β-lactams, trimethoprim, and sulfonamides) was performed over vegetal powdered activated carbon. The evolution of the adsorption was studied during 60 min for different initial antibiotic concentrations, not only individually but also simultaneously to determine competitive adsorption. Moreover, this research studied the adsorption isotherms and kinetics of the process, as well as the pH influence; FTIR of the activated carbon before and after adsorption was carried out. Trimethoprim and sulfadiazine showed more affinity for the adsorbent than amoxicillin and enrofloxacin. This trend might be attributed to their structure, capable of stablishing stronger π-π interactions with the adsorbent, which showed high affinity for the active sites of the adsorbent via FTIR. In addition, the sorption isotherms of trimethoprim followed a Langmuir type isotherm, amoxicillin followed a Freundlich type isotherm, and enrofloxacin and sulfadiazine followed both. The antibiotics followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Sulfadiazine and amoxicillin gave better performances in acidic conditions. By contrast, the sorption of trimethoprim was favored in basic environments. Variations of pH had a negligible effect on the removal of enrofloxacin.

Abstract
Prevalence of antibiotic resistance in the environment is of critical concern from a public health perspective, with many human impacted environments showing increased incidence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Wastewater treatment environments are of particular interest due to their high levels of antibiotic residuals, which can select for antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria. However, wastewater treatment plants are generally not designed to remove antibiotics from collected waste, and many of the currently proposed methods are unsafe for environmental use. This has prompted researchers to identify alternative environmentally safe methods for removing antibiotics from wastewater to be used in parallel with conventional wastewater treatment, as it is a potential strategy towards the mitigation of environmental antibiotic resistance selection. This paper reviews several methods developed to absorb and/or degrade antibiotics from aqueous solutions and wastewater biosolids, which includes ligninolytic fungi and ligninolytic enzymes, algae-driven photobioreactors and algae-activated sludge, and organically-sourced biochars.

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

Abstract
Abies bornmulleriana cone was used to investigate its biosorption efficiency and capacity of Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ heavy metal ions in a quinary system. The mechanism of multi-metal removal was illustrated in terms of FTIR results. Electrophoretic mobilities of the biosorbents were determined to access the information about the competitive biosorption. BET surface area and pore volume of the biosorbents before and after the biosorption were defined to be (5.05 m2 g-1 and 0.0018 cm3 g-1) and (0.97 m2 g-1 and 0.00032 cm3 g-1), respectively. The average pore width of the biosorbent before and after the biosorption was calculated as 9.34 and 13.04 Å, respectively. The pseudo-first-order model and the pseudo-second-order model were applied to analyze the experimental data. Experimental data have been evaluated according to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. The maximum biosorption efficiency and capacity for Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ ions were defined as (85.4, 56.4, 35.4, 21.7 and 18.9%) and (8.5, 5.6, 3.5, 2.2 and 1.9 mg g-1), respectively. The selectivity of heavy metal ions resulted in the magnitude order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+ > Co2+.

Adsorption of sulfamethoxazole and sulfadiazine on phosphorus-containing stalk cellulose under different water pH studied by quantitative evaluation. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 27:43246-43261.

Abstract
To improve the high-value application of corn stalk, phosphorus-containing stalk cellulose (PFC) was prepared, characterized, and utilized for the adsorption of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) and sulfadiazine (SD), with maximum adsorption capacities of 1.385 and 2.527 mg/g at pH 7. As expected, the adsorption efficiency of PFC was strongly affected by pH, and the preferential adsorption order of SMZ- (SD0) > SMZ0 (SD-) > SMZ+ (SD+) was obtained from the experimental results and due to the charges of PFC and the SMZ and SD species. Furthermore, these results were qualitatively linked to the adsorption mechanism, e.g., π+-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA), anion-π bond electrostatic, and hydrophobic interactions. In particular, the adsorption mechanism was further characterized in terms of structure and analyzed systematically using density functional theory (DFT), frontier orbital theory (FOT), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, with the aim to explain the theoretical calculation and experimental results. As a result, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) orbitals revealed the key role of the rings and functional groups of PFC and SMZ (or SD) and validated the optimized structures of PFC+ sulfonamides (SAs)+, PFC- SAs0, and PFC- SAs-, in which their binding energy values, energy gaps, and relevant molecular lengths determined their stability. Additionally, the van der Waals (vdW) energy confirmed the effect of various interactions on adsorption.

Abstract
Phosphoric acid is used to in-situ activate biochar pyrolyzed by cotton shells to enhance the adsorption ability of sulfadiazine (SDZ). To confirm the optimum condition, different impregnation ratios and impregnation times were investigated. It was found that the biochar (BC) pyrolyzed under the condition of an impregnation ratio of 2.5 and an impregnation time of 6 h showed the highest performance for the removal of SDZ. The maximum adsorption ability was 86.89 mg/g at a temperature of 298 K. The pseudo-second-order model was used to disclose the adsorption process of SDZ by BCs. The experimental data were described by the Langmuir and Temkin isotherms at different temperatures. It was found that the sorption of SDZ was an exothermic process according to the thermomechanical analysis. The activated BC could be recycled for at least five times with a high removal rate of SDZ. Thus, activated BCs are regarded as promising adsorbents for SDZ removal.

Abstract
This paper shows the use of membrane filters in adsorption of solution of tetracycline hydrochloride on graphene materials. The adsorption process was monitored at different wavelengths, different pH values at certain time intervals.
The absorbances of the solutions were measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometry at two wavelengths (275 nm and 356 nm), and three pH values (pH 4, pH 7 and pH 10) every 90 minutes for 6 hours of monitoring, with constant stirring in an ultrasonic bath.
The results showed decrease in absorbance at both wavelength and in all three pH values which proved the adsorption of tetracycline hydrochloride on GO and rGO. The largest decrease in absorbance was 98.1%. The most suitable pH value for adsorption was pH 4.
This paper used a unique approach to filtration through membrane filters, which in the future could lead to the development of membrane filters based on graphene materials.
