Liu P, Sun M, Xia S, Ju J, Mao W, Zhao H, Yanbin Hao. Earthworms and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cooperate to promote the biodegradation of tetracycline residues in livestock manure. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2024; 186:166-175. [PMID: 38905906 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2024.06.007] [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: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
Tetracycline is an antibiotic with extensive veterinary use in the livestock industry. However, their widespread application poses risks to soil health as residue in livestock feces, and their removal is crucial for sustainable soil-ecosystem development. Physical and chemical approaches to extract tetracycline may have adverse effects on soil ecosystems, but no studies have thus far examined the potential for biological methods, such as collective degradation action of soil fauna. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and earthworms (Eisenia fetida) on biodegradation of tetracycline residues in sheep manure. We assessed earthworm biomass, tetracycline residue, and bacterial communities in both earthworm intestines and vermicompost. Earthworm biomass and tetracycline degradation efficiency increased significantly with LAB addition, with a degradation rate of up to 80.16%. This increase may be attributable to LAB acting as electron donors to spur tetracycline degradation. Additionally, we noted that tetracycline presence significantly influenced bacterial communities in earthworm intestines and vermicompost, elevating the abundance of potential pathogenic bacteria (e.g., Flavobacterium, Gammaproteobacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae). This finding suggests that heightened environmental stress from antibiotics could actually facilitate the growth of less prevalent bacteria, including potential pathogens. In conclusion, our study provides evidence supporting the effectiveness of LAB and earthworms in degrading tetracycline residues. In particular, LAB appears to mitigate stress from tetracycline exposure in earthworms, thus increasing their vermicomposting efficacy. Our work has important implications for soil management, with the potential to enhance pollution clean-up rates while minimizing negative side-effects to soil microbial communities.

Mechanistic insights of PO 43- functionalized carbon nitride homojunction hydrogels in photocatalytic-self-Fenton-peroxymonosulfate system for tetracycline degradation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 669:366-382. [PMID: 38718590 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/27/2024]
Abstract
In this study, metal-free PO43- enriched g-C3N4/g-C3N4 (PGCN) homojunction alginate 3D beads were developed for in-situ H2O2 production under visible light. Later, the photocatalytic-self-Fenton system was integrated with peroxymonosulfate for tetracycline degradation. Initially, the PO43- enriched g-C3N4 (PCN) and a homojunction composed of PCN and g-C3N4 (GCN) were prepared via the wet-impregnation method. Later, PGCN homojunction was formulated into 3D alginate beads through the blend-crosslinking method. The comprehensive characterization of the homojunction beads affirmed the closer contact between the semiconductors, alteration of the bandgap, faster channelization of electron-hole pairs, and improved separation of charge carriers that attributed to higher catalytic efficacy. The PGCN beads exhibited a maximum H2O2 production of 535 ± 12 µM under visible light irradiation for 60 min. The homojunction hydrogels displayed 99 ± 0.25 % tetracycline degradation in 20 min in the photocatalytic-self-Fenton-PMS system. The experimental studies also claimed a maximum chemical oxygen demand removal of 81 ± 3.6 % in 20 min with maximum reusability of beads up to 20 cycles. The Z-scheme electron migration mechanism is proposed based on the results aided by scavenger and electron spin resonance analysis. Overall, the as-synthesized alginate-supported homojunction-based photocatalytic-self-Fenton-peroxymonosulfate system is highly versatile and reusable for energy and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Antibiotics released into water sources pose significant risks to both human health and the environment. This comprehensive review meticulously examines the ecotoxicological impacts of three prevalent antibiotics-ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and sulfamethoxazole-on the ecosystems. Within this framework, our primary focus revolves around the key remediation technologies: adsorption and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In this context, an array of adsorbents is explored, spanning diverse classes such as biomass-derived biosorbents, graphene-based adsorbents, MXene-based adsorbents, silica gels, carbon nanotubes, carbon-based adsorbents, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon nanofibers, biochar, metal oxides, and nanocomposites. On the flip side, the review meticulously examines the main AOPs widely employed in water treatment. This includes a thorough analysis of ozonation (O3), the photo-Fenton process, UV/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2), TiO2 photocatalysis, ozone/UV (O3/UV), radiation-induced AOPs, and sonolysis. Furthermore, the review provides in-depth insights into equilibrium isotherm and kinetic models as well as prospects and challenges inherent in these cutting-edge processes. By doing so, this review aims to empower readers with a profound understanding, enabling them to determine research gaps and pioneer innovative treatment methodologies for water contaminated with antibiotics.

Abstract
This study investigates the potential applications of incorporating 2D bacterial cellulose microfibers (BCM) biochar into chitosan/polyethyleneimine beads as a semi-natural sorbent for the efficient removal of tetracycline (TET) and metronidazole (MET) antibiotics. Batch adsorption experiments and characterization techniques evaluate removal performance and synthesized adsorbent properties. The adsorbent eliminated 99.13 % and 90 % of TET and MET at a 10 mg.L-1 concentration with optimal pH values of 8 and 6, respectively, for 90 min. Under optimum conditions and a 400 mg.L-1 concentration, MET and TET have possessed the maximum adsorption capacities of 691.325 and 960.778 mg.g-1, respectively. According to the isothermal analysis, the adsorption of TET fundamentally follows the Temkin (R2 = 0.997), Redlich-Peterson (R2 = 0.996), and Langmuir (R2 = 0.996) models. In contrast, the MET adsorption can be described by the Langmuir (R2 = 0.997), and Toth (R2 = 0.991) models. The pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.998, 0.992) and Avrami (R2 = 0.999, 0.999) kinetic models were well-fitted with the kinetic results for MET and TET respectively. Diffusion models recommend that pore, liquid-film, and intraparticle diffusion govern the rate of the adsorption process. The developed semi-natural sorbent demonstrated exceptional adsorption capacity over eleven cycles due to its porous bead structure, making it a potential candidate for wastewater remediation.

Abstract
The escalating global consumption of tetracyclines (TCs) as broad-spectrum antibiotics necessitates innovative approaches to mitigate their pervasive environmental persistence and associated risks. While initiatives such as China's antimicrobial reduction efforts highlight the urgency of responsible TC usage, the need for efficient degradation methods remains paramount. Microbial degradation emerges as a promising solution, offering novel insights into degradation pathways and mechanisms. Despite challenges, including the optimization of microbial activity conditions and the risk of antibiotic resistance development, microbial degradation showcases significant innovation in its cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and simplicity of implementation compared to traditional degradation methods. While the published reviews have summarized some aspects of biodegradation of TCs, a systematic and comprehensive summary of all the TC biodegradation pathways, reactions, intermediates, and final products including ring-opening products involved with enzymes and mechanisms of each bacterium and fungus reported is necessary. This review aims to fill the current gap in the literature by offering a thorough and systematic overview of the structure, bioactivity mechanism, detection methods, microbial degradation pathways, and molecular mechanisms of all tetracycline antibiotics in various microorganisms. It comprehensively collects and analyzes data on the microbial degradation pathways, including bacteria and fungi, intermediate and final products, ring-opening products, product toxicity, and the degradation mechanisms for all tetracyclines. Additionally, it points out future directions for the discovery of degradation-related genes/enzymes and microbial resources that can effectively degrade tetracyclines. This review is expected to contribute to advancing knowledge in this field and promoting the development of sustainable remediation strategies for contaminated environments.

Abstract
Antibiotics, widely used in the fields of medicine, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and agriculture, pose a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. To prevent antibiotic pollution, efforts have been made in recent years to explore alternative options for antibiotics in animal feed, but the effectiveness of these alternatives in replacing antibiotics is not thoroughly understood due to the variation from case to case. Furthermore, a systematic summary of the specific applications and limitations of antibiotic removal techniques in the environment is crucial for developing effective strategies to address antibiotic contamination. This comprehensive review summarized the current development and potential issues on different types of antibiotic substitutes, such as enzyme preparations, probiotics, and plant extracts. Meanwhile, the existing technologies for antibiotic residue removal were discussed under the scope of application and limitation. The present work aims to highlight the strategy of controlling antibiotics from the source and provide valuable insights for green and efficient antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
Antibiotic abuse, particularly the excessive use of tetracycline (TC), a drug with significant environmental risk, has gravely harmed natural water bodies and even posed danger to human health. In this study, a three-dimensional self-supported MoS2/MXene nanohybrid with an expanded layer spacing was synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal method and used to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) for the complete degradation of TC. The results showed that a stronger •OH signal was detected in the aqueous solution containing MoS2/MXene, demonstrating a superior PDS activation effect compared to MoS2 or Ti3C2TX MXene alone. Under the conditions of a catalyst dosage of 0.4 g/L, a PDS concentration of 0.4 mM, and pH = 5.0, the MoS2/MXene/PDS system was able to fully eliminate TC within one hour, which was probably due to the presence of several reactive oxygen species (ROS) (•OH, SO4•-, and O2•-) in the system. The high TC degradation efficiency could be maintained under the influence of various interfering ions and after five cycles, indicating that MoS2/MXene has good anti-interference and reusability performance. Furthermore, the possible degradation pathways were proposed by combining liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data and other findings, and the mechanism of the MoS2/MXene/PDS system on the degradation process of TC was elucidated by deducing the possible mechanism of ROS generation in the reaction process. All of these findings suggest that the MoS2/MXene composite catalyst has strong antibiotic removal capabilities with a wide range of application prospects.

Abstract
Worldwide abuse of tetracycline (TC) seriously threatens environmental safety and human health. Metal-TC complexes formed by residual TC in the environment can also contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, monitoring of TC residues is still required. Here, we report novel aggregation-induced emission carbon dots (AIE-Cdots) as nanoaggregate probes for the rapid and selective detection of TC residue. Riboflavin precursors with rotational functional groups led to the development of AIE-Cdots. The aggregation of AIE-Cdots was induced selectively for Al3+, amplifying the fluorescence signals owing to the restricted rotation of the side chains on the AIE-Cdot surface. The fluorescence signal of such Al3+-mediated nanoaggregates (Al3+-NAs) was further triggered by the structural fixation of TC at the Al3+ active sites, suggesting the formation of TC-coordinated Al3+-NAs. A linear correlation was observed in the TC concentration range of 0-10 μM with a detection limit of 42 nM. In addition, the strong Al3+ binding affinity of AIE-Cdots produced similar NAs and enhanced fluorescence signals in Al3+-TC mixtures. These AIE-Cdots-based nanoplatforms have a rapid response, good selectivity, and reliable accuracy for detecting TC or aluminum complexes, meeting the requirements for hazardous substance monitoring and removal in environmental applications.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 353:141519. [PMID: 38401860 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141519] [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: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Tetracyclines are among the most commonly used antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections and the improvement of agricultural growth and feed efficiency. All compounds in the group of tetracyclines (tetracycline, chlorotetracycline, doxycycline, and oxytetracycline) are excreted in an unchanged form in urine at a rate of more than 70%. They enter the aquatic environment in altered and unaltered forms which affect aquatic micro- and macroorganisms. This study reviews the occurrence, fate, and removal techniques of tetracycline contamination in Europe. The average level of tetracycline contamination in water ranged from 0 to 20 ng/L. However, data regarding environmental contamination by tetracyclines are still insufficient. Despite the constant presence and impact of tetracyclines in the environment, there are no legal restrictions regarding the discharge of tetracyclines into the aquatic environment. To address these challenges, various removal techniques, including advanced oxidation, adsorption, and UV treatment, are being critically evaluated and compared. The summarized data contributes to a better understanding of the current state of Europe's waters and provides insight into potential strategies for future environmental management and policy development. Further research on the pollution and effects of tetracyclines in aquatic environments is therefore required.

Abstract
Green zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized using Stevia rebaudiana as a reducing agent were investigated as ecofriendly adsorbents for the removal of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and tetracycline (TET) from water. Green ZnO NPs were synthesized using a rapid novel approach that did not require annealing or calcination at high temperatures to produce mesoporous NPs with a size range of 37.36-71.33 nm, a specific surface area of 15.28 m2/g, and a negative surface charge of -15 mV at pH 5. The green ZnO NPs exhibited an antioxidant activity of 85.57% at 250 μg/mL and an antibacterial activity with MIC and MBC of 50 and 100 mg/mL, respectively, against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The best adsorption performance was achieved using a 4 g/L dose and pH 5, yielding, respectively, 86.77 ± 0.82% removal and 27.07 ± 0.26 mg/g adsorption capacity for CIP at 10 mg/L and 67.86 ± 3.41% and 15.88 ± 0.37 mg/g for TET at 25 mg/L. The green ZnO NPs achieved 79.71% ± 0.28 and 61.55% ± 0.53 removal of 10 mg/L CIP and 25 mg/L TET, respectively, in a spiked tap water binary system of the two contaminants. Adsorption of CIP and TET occurred mainly via electrostatic interactions, whereby CIP was bound more strongly than TET by virtue of its charge and size. The synthesis and adsorption processes were evaluated by a stepwise regression statistical model to optimize their parameters. Lastly, the green ZnO NPs were regenerated and reused for 5 cycles, indicating their functionality as simple, reusable, and low-cost adsorbents for the removal of CIP and TET from wastewater, in accordance with SDGs #6 and 12 for the sustainable management of water.

Abstract
Herein, core-shell magnetic nanoparticles are modified with imidazolium-tagged phosphine and propylene glycol moieties and used for the stabilization of bimetallic AuCu nanoparticles. The structure and morphology of the prepared material are identified with SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, atomic absorption spectroscopy, Fourier translation infrared spectroscopy, and a vibrating sample magnetometer. This hydrophilic magnetic bimetallic catalyst is applied in the reduction of toxic nitroarenes and reductive degradation of hazardous organic dyes such as methyl orange (MO), methyl red (MR), and rhodamine B (RhB), as well as in the degradation of tetracycline (TC). This magnetic AuCu catalyst indicated superior activity in all three mentioned reactions in comparison with its single metal Au and Cu analogs. This catalyst is recycled for 17 consecutive runs in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol without a significant decrease in catalytic activity and recycled catalyst is characterized.

Myriophyllum Biochar-Supported Mn/Mg Nano-Composites as Efficient Periodate Activators to Enhance Triphenyl Phosphate Removal from Wastewater. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:1118.

Abstract
Transition metals and their oxide compounds exhibit excellent chemical reactivity; however, their easy agglomeration and high cost limit their catalysis applications. In this study, an interpolation structure of a Myriophyllum verticillatum L. biochar-supported Mn/Mg composite (Mn/Mg@MV) was prepared to degrade triphenyl phosphate (TPhP) from wastewater through the activating periodate (PI) process. Interestingly, the Mn/Mg@MV composite showed strong radical self-producing capacities. The Mn/Mg@MV system degraded 93.34% TPhP (pH 5, 10 μM) within 150 min. The experimental results confirmed that the predominant role of IO3· and the auxiliary ·OH jointly contributed to the TPhP degradation. In addition, the TPhP pollutants were degraded to various intermediates and subsequent Mg mineral phase mineralization via mechanisms like interfacial processes and radical oxidation. DFT theoretical calculations further indicated that the synergy between Mn and Mg induced the charge transfer of the carbon-based surface, leading to the formation of an ·OH radical-enriched surface and enhancing the multivariate interface process of ·OH, IO3, and Mn(VII) to TPhP degradation, resulting in the further formation of Mg PO4 mineralization.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed theoretical understanding of the noncovalent interactions between antibiotics tetracycline and conjugated microporous polymer (CMP), which is important to understand the recent experimental finding of efficient removal of antibiotics by CMP materials. We show that the co-work of π-π and H-π interactions determines the final equilibrium structures, when a tetracycline molecule spontaneously adsorbs to the surface or within the pores of the CMP network at physisorption distances. The binding energies for tetracycline/CMP systems are calculated to be -0.31 ∼ -1.15 eV, demonstrating the reliability of the adsorption. The electronic structures of CMP nanostructures remain basically undamaged upon the tetracycline adsorption. The replacement of benzothiadiazole unit with S and N heteroatoms to the phenyl moiety in the linker effectively enhanced the molecular polarity of CMP molecule and increases the interaction area between tetracycline and CMP network, consequently enhancing the average binding energies notably. Our calculations provide useful theoretical guidance for design of novel carbon-based porous adsorbents with good adsorption performance to remove residual tetracycline and other antibiotics in water.

Abstract
To improve the adsorption efficiency of pollutants by biochar, preparing graphene-like biochar (GBC) or nitrogen-doped biochar are two commonly used methods. However, the difference in the nitrogen doping (N-doping) effects upon the adsorption of pollutants by pristine biochar (PBC) and GBC, as well as the underlying mechanisms, are still unclear. Take the tetracycline (TC) as an example, the present study analyzed the characteristics of the adsorption of TCs on biochars (PBC, GBC, N-PBC, N-GBC), and significant differences in the effects of N-doping on the adsorption of TCs by PBC and GBC were consistently observed at different solution properties. Specifically, N-doping had varied effects on the adsorption performance of PBC, whereas it uniformly improved the adsorption performance of GBC. To interpret the phenomenon, the N-doping upon the adsorption was revealed by the QSAR model, which indicated that the pore filling (VM) and the interactions between TCs with biochars (Ead-v) were found to be the most important two factors. Furthermore, the density functional theory (DFT) results demonstrated that N-doping slightly affects biochar's chemical reactivity. The van der Waals (vdWs) and electrostatic interactions are the main forces for TCs-biochars interactions. Moreover, N-doping mostly strengthened the electrostatic interactions of TCs-biochars, but the vdWs interactions of most samples remained largely unaffected. Overall, the revealed mechanism of N-doping on TCs adsorption by biochars will enhance our knowledge of antibiotic pollution remediation.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is on an upsurge as more and more broad-spectrum antibiotics are being used haphazardly, resulting in imbalances in the ecosystem and disrupting common/systematic clinical protocols. To combat this issue, metal-organic framework embedded zinc-copper-benzenedicarboxylate@calcium alginate composite beads (Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs) were synthesized and utilized for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) from water. The surface morphology, presence of functional groups, surface area, and thermal stability of Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs were evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. Batch adsorption experiments were also carried out to optimize the adsorption performance of Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs for TC by adjusting the key parameters, including pH of the solution, contact time, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and initial concentration of TC. From the RSM model, 96.8% removal of TC takes place under the optimum conditions (pH = 7.3, mass = 17.2 mg, concentration = 21.3 ppm, time = 3.4 h, and temperature = 31.8 °C), which aligns closely with the experimental batch study, where the addition of 20 mg of adsorbent to a 20 mL TC solution (20 mg/L) at a pH of 7 and a temperature of 27 °C yielded an impressive TC removal efficiency of 96.55% within 180 min. Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs possess homogeneous adsorption surfaces, and TC is adsorbed via monolayer chemisorption, according to the results derived from the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process is both endothermic and spontaneous. In their entirety, the synthesized Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs exhibit certain operational advantages, such as simple separation, satisfactory adsorption performance, and decent recyclability, indicating their viability for industrial application of elimination of TC residues from aquatic environments.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a robust predictive model for tetracycline (TC) adsorption onto biochar (BC) by employing machine learning techniques to investigate the underlying driving factors. Four machine learning algorithms, namely Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), were used to model the adsorption of TC on BC using the data from 295 adsorption experiments. The analysis revealed that the RF model had the highest predictive accuracy (R2 = 0.9625) compared to ANN (R2 = 0.9410), GBDT (R2 = 0.9152), and XGBoost (R2 = 0.9592) models. This study revealed that BC with a specific surface area (S (BET)) exceeding 380 cm3·g-1 and particle sizes ranging between 2.5 and 14.0 nm displayed the greatest efficiency in TC adsorption. The TC-to-BC ratio was identified as the most influential factor affecting adsorption efficiency, with a weight of 0.595. The concentration gradient between the adsorbate and adsorbent was demonstrated to be the principal driving force behind TC adsorption by BC. A predictive model was successfully developed to estimate the sorption performance of various types of BC for TC based on their properties, thereby facilitating the selection of appropriate BC for TC wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Natural zeolite is a widely used material with excellent environmental cleaning performance, especially in water and wastewater treatment. Natural zeolite (Zini) calcined by CO2-laser radiation (ZL) was tested as a catalyst for the photodegradation and the adsorption of industrial azo dye Lanasol Yellow 4G (LY4G) in water. Morphology, chemical structure, and surface composition of Zini and ZL were analyzed by XRD, SEM, EDS, and XPS. UV/Visible spectrophotometry was used to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of Zini and ZL. The photocatalytic activity of the studied zeolites was associated with the presence of Fe oxides in their composition. Laser-treated natural zeolite showed higher efficiency as a photocatalyst compared to untreated natural zeolite.

Abstract
InVO4 is the most attractive inorganic new-generation material for advanced scientific research, especially in the fields of energy and environmental science. In theory, this stable, non-toxic, energy-efficient metal vanadate semiconductor is expected to exhibit significant catalytic activity owing to its narrow bandgap energy. However, this has not been achieved in practice because of its inherent defects in terms of the separation and migration of charge carriers. In fact, the exploration of this material is still in its infancy, and more research is needed to improve its efficiency and speed up its commercialization. Band gap engineering using heterojunction formation offers better results than other methods, such as morphological variations and doping efforts. In this context, the present study offers a significant solution substantiated by experimental results. This includes the successful synthesis of a novel nanocomposite of InVO4 nanosheets decorated with ZnWO4 nanorods with a unique improved light absorption ability. Three composites with 26.48-33.85 nm crystal sizes and 11.74-19.98 m2/g surface area were prepared with tailor-made bandgap energies in the range of 2.52-2.97 eV. Furthermore, they produced high photoexcitation currents with low EIS resistance with respect to their constituents. The as-prepared InVO4-based novel catalyst almost completely (98.33%) decomposed tetracycline (TC) antibiotic in just 90 min, proving its high efficacy. The enhanced performance of the novel catalyst is 7.6 times that of InVO4 and 10 times that of ZnWO4. Moreover, the catalyst intake was significantly small (15 mg/100 mL TC solution).

Abstract
In this study, chitosan-modified bentonite was synthesized using the coprecipitation method. When the Na2CO3 content was 4% (weight of soil) and the mass ratio of chitosan to bentonite was 1:5, the adsorption performance of the chitosan/bentonite composite was best. The adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurement. Various characterization results demonstrate that chitosan successfully entered the bentonite interlayer and increased layer spacing but did not modify bentonite's laminar mesoporous structure, and the -CH3 and -CH2 groups of chitosan appeared on chitosan-modified bentonite. Tetracycline was used as the target pollutant in the static adsorption experiment. The adsorption capacity was 19.32 mg/g under optimal conditions. The adsorption process was more consistent with the Freundlich model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating that it was a nonmonolayer chemisorption process. The adsorption process is a spontaneous, endothermic, entropy-increasing process, according to thermodynamic characteristics.

Feizpoor S, Habibi-Yangjeh A, Luque R. Preparation of TiO 2/Fe-MOF n‒n heterojunction photocatalysts for visible-light degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride. CHEMOSPHERE 2023:139101. [PMID: 37290505 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Visible-light-assisted photocatalysis has been recognized as an effective solution to the degradation of various pollutants including antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, microplastics, and organic dyes. Herein, an n-n heterojunction TiO2/Fe-MOF photocatalyst is reported, designed via hydrothermal synthesis route. TiO2/Fe-MOF photocatalyst was characterized by XPS, BET, EIS, EDS, DRS, PL, FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM and HRTEM techniques. Inspired by XRD, FTIR, XPS, EDS, TEM, SEM, and HRTEM analyses, the successful synthesis of n-n heterojunction TiO2/Fe-MOF photocatalysts was proved. The migration efficiency of the light-induced electron-hole pairs was confirmed by the PL and EIS tests. TiO2/Fe-MOF exhibited a significant performance for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) removal under visible light irradiation. TC removal efficiency for TiO2/Fe-MOF (15%) nanocomposite reached 97% within 240 min, ca. 11 times higher than pure TiO2. The photocatalytic enhancement of TiO2/Fe-MOF could be attributed to the broadening the light response range, forming an n-n junction between Fe-MOF and TiO2 components, suppressing charge recombination. Based on recycling experiments, TiO2/Fe-MOF had a good potential to be used in consecutive TC degradation tests.

Abstract
Water pollution is a global issue as a consequence of rapid industrialization and urbanization. Organic compounds which are generated from various industries produce problematic pollutants in water. Recently, metal oxide (TiO2, SnO2, CeO2, ZrO2, WO3, and ZnO)-based semiconductors have been explored as excellent photocatalysts in order to degrade organic pollutants in wastewater. However, their photocatalytic performance is limited due to their high band gap (UV range) and recombination time of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Strategies for improving the performance of these metal oxides in the fields of photocatalysis are discussed. To improve their photocatalytic activity, researchers have investigated the concept of doping, formation of nanocomposites and core-shell nanostructures of metal oxides. Rare-earth doped metal oxides have the advantage of interacting with functional groups quickly because of the 4f empty orbitals. More precisely, in this review, in-depth procedures for synthesizing rare earth doped metal oxides and nonocomposites, their efficiency towards organic pollutants degradation and sources have been discussed. The major goal of this review article is to propose high-performing, cost-effective combined tactics with prospective benefits for future industrial applications solutions.

Abstract
The composite of magnetite (Fe3O4) and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) is considered a potential adsorbent for water treatment and environmental remediation. In the current study, a one-pot hydrothermal procedure was utilized for magnetic cellulose nanocrystal (MCNC) development from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in the presence of ferric chloride, ferrous chloride, urea, and hydrochloric acid. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the presence of CNC and Fe3O4, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis verified their respective sizes (< 400 nm and ≤ 20 nm) in the generated composite. To have an efficient adsorption activity for doxycycline hyclate (DOX), the produced MCNC was post-treated using chloroacetic acid (CAA), chlorosulfonic acid (CSA), or iodobenzene (IB). The introduction of carboxylate, sulfonate, and phenyl groups in the post-treatment was confirmed by FTIR and XPS analysis. Such post treatments decreased the crystallinity index and thermal stability of the samples but improved their DOX adsorption capacity. The adsorption analysis at different pHs revealed the increase in the adsorption capacity by reducing the basicity of the medium due to decreasing electrostatic repulsions and inducing strong attractions.

Abstract
As an environment-friendly oxidant and disinfectant, peracetic acid (PAA) and PAA based-advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the treatment of emerging micropollutants have raised increasing interest, owing to their ease of activation and less generation of harmful disinfection byproducts. Tetracyclines (TCs) antibiotics as a group of wide-spectrum antibiotics are frequently detected in sewage effluents, while the knowledge of PAA-based advanced oxidation reactions to remove the substrates is quite limited. In this work, we systematically investigated the kinetics and underlying transformation mechanisms of three TCs including tetracycline (TTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC) in the UV-activated PAA oxidation process. The results indicated that three TCs can be efficiently decayed by UV/PAA. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants (kobs) of TCs followed the order: kCTC (0.453 min-1) ≫ kTTC (0.164 min-1) > kOTC (0.158 min-1). Quenching experiments showed that the removal of CTC was mainly ascribed to the direct oxidation of PAA, while TTC and OTC were more susceptible to free radicals. The kobs values of the three TCs by PAA oxidation presented a fairly well correlation to the global nucleophilicity and the activation energies of the TC molecules, highlighting the structure-specific reactions of TCs to PAA. Based on product identification and theoretical calculation, N-demethylation and hydroxylation were proposed as the main pathways for TCs degradation by PAA non-radical oxidation. The combination of PAA and UV irradiation can further improve the degradation efficiency of TCs and contribute to reducing the diffusion and transmission of resistance genes in the environment.

Abstract
The contamination of the aquatic environment with emerging micro-pollutants is a serious global concern. The aim of this investigation was to synthesize novel functionalized material (BNAPTES) precursor to natural bentonite in a single pot facile synthetic route. The material was utilized for efficient and selective removal of tetracycline (TC) and triclosan (TCS) in aqueous wastes. The grafting of silane was confirmed with the FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) analysis and the EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray) analysis showed the incorporation of amino group with the bentonite. The structural changes of clay due to silane grafting were studied with the help of XRD (X-ray Diffraction) and BET (Brunner-Emmett-Teller) surface area analyses. Batch adsorption studies showed that functionalized clay significantly increased the selectivity and adsorption capacity of bentonite for TC and TCS. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was found to be 15.36 and 17.15 mg/g for TC and TCS, respectively. The rapid uptake of TC and TCS by functionalized material followed pseudo-second-rate kinetics. Further, a total of 78% of TC and 73% of TCS were removed within 5 min of contact and the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 120 min. The influence of background electrolytes and co-existing ions indicated that TC and TCS were selective towards BNAPTES. The loading capacities of the column packed with BNAPTES were found to be 56.00 and 44.42 mg/g for TC and TCS, respectively. Further, BNAPTES was found efficient even in real water treatment since the attenuation of TC and TCS was not affected significantly in the real water matrix.

Abstract
In this work, different mass percent ratios of CoFe2O4 coupled g-C3N4 (w%-CoFe2O4/g-C3N4, CFO/CN) nanocomposites were integrated through a hydrothermal process for the sonocatalytic eradication of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) from aqueous media. The prepared sonocatalysts were subjected to various techniques to investigate their morphology, crystallinity, ultrasound wave capturing activity and charge conductivity. From the investigated activity of the composite materials, it has been registered that the best sonocatalytic degradation efficiency of 26.71 % in 10 min was delivered when the amount of CoFe2O4 was 25% in the nanocomposite. The delivered efficiency was higher than that of bare CoFe2O4 and g-C3N4. This enriched sonocatalytic efficiency was credited to the accelerated charge transfer and separation of e--h+ pair through the S-scheme heterojunctional interface. The trapping experiments confirmed that all the three species i.e. •OH, h+ and •O2- were involved in the eradication of antibiotics. A strong interaction was shown up between CoFe2O4 and g-C3N4 in the FTIR study to support charge transfer as confirmed from the photoluminescence and photocurrent analysis of the samples. This work will provide an easy approach for fabricating highly efficient low-cost magnetic sonocatalysts for the eradication of hazardous materials present in our environment.

Abstract
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum class of antibiotics. The use of excessive doses of tetracycline antibiotics can result in their residues in food, posing varying degrees of risk to human health. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and sensitive field detection method for tetracycline residues is of great practical importance to improve the safety of food-derived animal foods. Electrochemical analysis techniques are widely used in the field of pollutant detection because of the simple detection principle, easy operation of the instrument, and low cost of analysis. In this review, we summarize the electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics by bibliometrics. Unlike the previously published reviews, this article reviews and analyzes the development of this topic. The contributions of different countries and different institutions were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explain the development of different research directions. The results of the analysis revealed that developments and innovations in materials science can enhance the performance of electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics. Among them, gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are the most used nanomaterials. Aptamer sensing strategies are the most favored methodologies in electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics.

Abstract
Rice husk biochars (BCs) doped with ferric chloride were prepared by one-pot method, characterized by SEM, EDS, BET, XRD, and FTIR, and utilized to catalyze peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for tetracycline (TC) degradation. Various influencing factors in the BC/PMS/TC system were investigated, as well as the recycling performance of the optimal BC. The mechanism of BC activation of PMS and degradation of TC were analyzed based on the free radicals quenching experiment and the pathways of TC degradation. The results demonstrated that bBC3 was an excellent catalyst with large specific surface area; the amounts of oxidant and catalyst were important factors affecting the catalytic performance of PMS, while pH had less effect on TC degradation; 10 mM of chloride ions inhibited the TC degradation, while 20 mM promoted the TC degradation; other ions and humic acid inhibited the TC degradation at the set concentrations; activation of PMS by bBC3 yielded species with strong oxidative activity, which were primarily responsible for TC degradation. The bBC3 obtained stable performance for removing TC. This study provided a pathway for the deep utilization of waste rice husks besides an effective method for degrading TC.

Abstract
The sustainable control of pharmaceutical micropollutants in water and wastewater environments is a great challenge in the 21st century. To address these issues, unique CdO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal approach and investigated for photocatalytic control of the antibiotic tetracycline, multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB), and total coliform in the wastewater effluent. The NPs were characterized using a range of techniques and it exhibited a spherical-like crystal structure with a mean size of 40 nm. The vibrational stretching mode of 1419 cm-1 confirmed the formation of Cd-O (M - O). The synthesis protocol formed smoother surfaces and 1.88 eV band gap energy of CdO NPs, inducing excellent photocatalytic activity under visible LED light (blue and white) irradiation. The optimal catalyst dose and pH were 100 mg/L and 8-9, respectively. Blue light proved more effective than white light, resulting in 28% higher efficiency (93 ± 0.47%) in tetracycline degradation than white light under an identical intensity (20 mW/cm2). White light required a four-fold higher light intensity (80 mW/cm2) than blue light to induce comparable photocatalytic MDRB inactivation. Bacterial cell lysis by the photocatalytic treatment was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The used catalyst was easily recovered by 5 min of centrifugation and re-used without any noticeable change in the photocatalytic decomposition. The trapping experiment revealed that the CdO-based NPs contributed primarily to the generation of •O2- and •OH radicals (Type I), but the •O2- radicals were the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the photocatalytic process.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) is a carbonaceous material produced by pyrolysis of biomass, applied in various areas such as water purification, fuel production, soil amendment, etc. Many types of BC are characterized by insufficient textural parameters or poor surface chemistry, and hence by low adsorption capacity. This makes innovative chemical methods increasing BC ability to remove xenobiotics from aquatic environments highly needed. Many of them have already been described in the literature. This review presents them in detail and evaluates their effectiveness in improving textural parameters, surface chemistry, and adsorption capacity of BC.

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) consisting of EG-(ChCl: C2H6O2) and TU-(ChCl: CH4N2S) assisted synthesized BiOCl/BiVO4 heterostructured catalyst studied for electrochemical uric acid (UA) sensor and tetracycline photocatalytic degradation. The chemical composition of the BiOCl/BiVO4 catalyst was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). UV-vis spectroscopy reveals increased absorption of visible light till the near-infrared region, which results in a narrowing of band gap energy from 2.3 eV to 2.2 eV for BiOCl/BiVO4-TU. Morphology of catalyst analyzed using field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM) technique. Time-Resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) confirms an increased lifetime of e-/h+ pair after heterostructure formation. The catalyst-modified glassy carbon electrode shows selectivity toward the detection of uric acid (UA). The limit of detection (LOD) is estimated to be 0.04688 μM for UA; also, interference and stability of catalyst were studied. Photocatalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst was investigated by degrading tetracycline (TC) antibiotic pollutants, and their intermediate product was analyzed by ion trap mass spectrometry (MS).

Magnetic activated carbon synthesized using rubber fig tree leaves for adsorptive removal of tetracycline from aqueous solutions. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 216:114775. [PMID: 36370812 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The current study emphasizes the activated carbon fabrication from rubber fig leaves, the establishment of its composite with iron oxide nanoparticles (RFAC@Fe2O3), and its relevance in the adsorptive elimination of tetracycline. The physical and functional properties of RFAC@Fe2O3 nanocomposite were uncovered by multiple approaches. Elemental analysis portrayed the existence of carbon, oxygen, and iron, while FESEM analysis revealed that Fe2O3 nanoparticle agglomerates were entrenched in the activated carbon matrix rendering it a rough abrasive texture. FT-IR analysis reported the presence of functional groups attributing to CC, -OH, crystalline iron oxide, and Fe-O stretching vibrations, and XRD corroborated graphitic crystalline structure, oxygenated functional groups attached to carbon accompanied by crystalline plane corresponding to Fe2O3 nanoparticles. XPS spectra depicted signature peaks for C, O, and Fe, while VSM studies designated its superparamagnetic nature. The high surface area (662.73 m2/g), pore size (3.12 nm), and mesoporous nature of RFAC@Fe2O3 make it apt for the adsorption of pollutants from contaminated samples. The adsorption of tetracycline (50 ppm) by RFAC@Fe2O3 was maximum at pH 4.0. As the nanocomposite dosage and stirring speed increased to 2.0 g/L and 150 rpm, maximum adsorption was observed due to more active binding sites and improved mixing. Freundlich isotherm along with pseudo-second-order model well described adsorption process divulging that tetracycline was adsorbed onto RFAC@Fe2O3 composite in multi-layers by chemisorption. Thermodynamic analysis signified negative values for ΔG°, while positive values for ΔH° and ΔS were obtained, indicating spontaneous feasible endothermic adsorption.

Assessment of agricultural waste biochars for remediation of degraded water-soil environment: Dissolved organic carbon release and immobilization of impurities in one- or two-adsorbate systems. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 155:87-98. [PMID: 36356434 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2022.10.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This paper presents a method of agricultural waste management - the production of two biochars (BC) from potato and raspberry stems. It defines the potential of these materials for remediation of degraded water and soil environments. The performed study included analyses of BC physicochemistry, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release and ability to immobilize copper (Cu), tetracycline (TC) and carboxin (CB) in one- and two-adsorbate systems. The BCs were obtained with pyrolysis at 600 °C for 30 min in a nitrogen atmosphere. Their DOC was predominantly constituted of substances with large molecular weights and high aromaticity, meaning that both BCs can be safely applied as soil additives. Potato-biochar (P-BC) had a more developed surface than raspberry-biochar (R-BC). The specific surface area (SBET) of P-BC was 122 m2/g, whilst of R-BC was 87 m2/g. As a result, the efficiency of impurity adsorption in the one-adsorbate systems was higher for P-BC (61.75% for Cu, 73.84% for TC, and 54.43% for CB). In the two-adsorbate systems, organic impurities improved the immobilization of heavy metal ions on BCs. The efficiency of Cu adsorption on P-BC when TC was present was 88.29%. Desorption of Cu from BC was highest using HCl, whilst that of TC and CB was highest using NaOH. Maximum desorption was observed in a two-adsorbate system with TC + CB (up to 63.6% for TC). These results confirmed that potato and raspberry stems can be used to produce highly effective BCs with large application potential, especially for remediation of degraded soils and polluted waters.

Abstract
Injectable calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) represent promising candidates for the regeneration of complex-shape bone defects, thanks to self-hardening ability, bioactive composition and nanostructure offering high specific surface area for cell attachment and conduction. Such features make CPCs also interesting for functionalization with various biomolecules, towards the generation of multifunctional devices with enhanced therapeutic ability. In particular, strontium-doped CPCs have been studied in the last years due to the intrinsic antiosteoporotic character of strontium. In this work, a SrCPC previously reported as osteointegrative and capable to modulate the fate of bone cells was enriched with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA-NPs) functionalized with tetracycline (TC) to provide antibacterial activity. We found that HA-NPs functionalized with TC (NP-TC) can act as modulator of the drug release profile when embedded in SrCPCs, thus providing a sustained and tunable TC release. In vitro microbiological tests on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains proved effective bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties, especially for the NP-TC loaded SrCPC formulations. Overall, our results indicate that the addition of NP-TC on CPC acted as effective modulator towards a tunable drug release control in the treatment of bone infections or cancers.

Abstract
Clay-based materials have attracted attention owing to their dual effects of adsorption and advanced oxidation degradation in removing organic pollutants. In this study, the introduction of humic acid (HA) in the Fe-bearing montmorillonite (Fe-Mt) nano platform enhanced its tetracycline (TC) adsorption and degradation were investigated. The result showed that the adsorption and degradation efficiency of humic acid/poly-hydroxyl-iron/montmorillonite (HA-Fe-Mt) was greater than those of Fe-Mt. The adsorption performance and characterization confirmed that HA-Fe-Mt had more functional groups, stronger hydrophobic character, and higher specific surface area. The introduction of HA onto the Fe-Mt platform enhanced its specific surface area, electrostatic interaction, and hydrophobic character, therefore providing more active sites to interact with the carbonyl and amide groups of TC. Moreover, the catalytic performance and characterization results revealed that HA-Fe-Mt had greater persulfate (PS) activation, the coupled HA would speed up the transmission of electrons between Fe (III) and PS in the Fe (III) / Fe (II) cycle when PS was captured by the HA-Fe-Mt system, and the in situ generated Fe accelerates the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to further degrade TC. Consequently, HA can not only promote the adsorption of TC but also promote the degradation of TC in the Fe-Mt nano platform. HA-Fe-Mt provided a feasible and promising platform with PS activation for TC adsorption and degradation.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotics as micro-contaminants in the water and aqueous environments is a health concern to humans and the ecosystem. Therefore, their elimination by adsorption to available and cheap materials in water treatment plants is a research topic of high relevance. The present paper reports on the adsorption behavior of oxytetracycline on a bio-adsorbent prepared from Posidonia oceanica; an abundant Mediterranean biomass. Characterization of the pretreated Posidonia biomaterial was achieved using several analyses such as Boehm acid-base titration method, pHPZC determination, and analysis techniques (FTIR, 13C CP-MAS NMR, optical microscopy, and TGA). The pHPZC occurred around pH 2.11. Posidonia biomaterial showed a fast and high uptake rate throughout the adsorption process, which is a definite advantage for analytical applications such as water decontamination. The experimental kinetic data fitted very rightly the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the equilibrium uptake can adopt the bi-Langmuir isotherm model for all studied pH values which assumes adsorptions at the two localized sites. Maximum adsorption capacities of 11.8 mg∙g-1 and 4.4 mg∙g-1 for the two adsorption sites are reached at pH 6. The oxytetracycline adsorption process onto Posidonia bio-adsorbent is spontaneous (ΔadsG0 < 0), exothermic (ΔadsH0 < 0), and entropically favorable (ΔadsS0 > 0). The effect of pH on adsorption behavior and the thermodynamic parameters of adsorption are consistent with a possible origin of adsorption of oxytetracycline by means of hydrogen bonding interactions between surface hydroxyl and phenolic groups of the biomaterial and oxytetracycline. The proposed green and environmentally friendly biomaterial offers potential benefits as a bio-adsorbent in the remediation of aquatic environments contaminated by various organic materials.

Abstract
Antibiotics are emerging water pollutants that have attracted significant attention from the scientific community. Antibiotics are generally released via hospital effluents, industrial production waste, animal manure, and irrigated agricultural land. Antibiotic residues can harm all living organisms, with the most detrimental consequence being the generation of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, commonly known as “superbugs.” Antimicrobial resistance is a concern to the healthcare community as it complicates the treatment of infections. Thus, the development of effective and economical technologies to remove antibiotics from the environment is necessary. Adsorption is a promising technology owing to its effectiveness and high operational feasibility, and carbon-based adsorbents are primitive materials that are particularly suited for antibiotic adsorption. Herein, an overview of the current state of antibiotic pollution will be summarised, including the adverse effects of different antibiotics and challenges associated with antibiotic removal. The adsorption behaviours of tetracycline (TC), quinolone, penicillin, and macrolides on carbon-based adsorbents (i.e., activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, and graphene-based materials) are reviewed. The interactions between antibiotics and carbon-based adsorbents, adsorption mechanism, and adsorption behaviour under different conditions are emphasised. In addition, the limitations of adsorption technology are highlighted to direct future research.

Abstract
This study first reports on the tetracycline photodegradation with the synthesized heterostructured titanium oxide nanotubes coupled with cuprous oxide photocatalyst. The large surface area and more active sites on TiO2 nanotubes with a reduced band gap (coupling of Cu2O) provide faster photodegradation of tetracycline under visible light conditions. Cytotoxicity experiments performed on the RAW 264.7 (mouse macrophage) and THP-1 (human monocytes) cell lines of tetracycline and the photodegraded products of tetracycline as well as quenching experiments were also performed. The effects of different parameters like pH, photocatalyst loading concentration, cuprous oxide concentration, and tetracycline load on the photodegradation rate were investigated. With an enhanced surface area of nanotubes and a reduced band gap of 2.58 eV, 1.5 g/L concentration of 10% C-TAC showed the highest efficiency of visible-light-driven photodegradation (∼100% photodegradation rate in 60 min) of tetracycline at pH 5, 7, and 9. The photodegradation efficiency is not depleted up to five consecutive batch cycles. Quenching experiments confirmed that superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals are the most involved reactive species in the photodegradation of tetracycline, while valance band electrons are the least involved reactive species. The cytotoxicity percentage of tetracycline and its degraded products on RAW 264.7 (-0.932) as well as THP-1 (-0.931) showed a negative correlation with the degradation percentage with a p-value of 0.01. The toxicity-free effluent of photodegradation suggests the application of the synthesized photocatalyst in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The transformation of organic pollutants by stabilized nano-FeS in oxic conditions is far less understood than in anoxic states. Herein, carboxymethyl cellulose-stabilized FeS (CMC-FeS) nanofluids are prepared at a CMC-to-FeS mass ratio of 1/2 and their performance of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) degradation under oxic conditions was investigated. Here, we showed that TC could be efficiently removed by oxygenation of CMC-FeS nanofluids at neutral initial pH. We found that CMC-FeS dosages as low as 15 mg/L can achieve the TC removal efficiency as high as 99.1% at an initial TC concentration of 50 mg/L. Oxidative degradation plays a predominated role in TC removal (accounting for 58.0%), adsorption has the second importance (accounting for 37.0%), and reduction has minor impact (accounting for 4.1%) toward TC removal. Electron spin resonance assays, fluorescent detection using coumarin as a probe, and radical scavenging experiments confirm that hydroxy radicals (•OH), both in free and surface-bound forms, contribute to oxidation of TC. Humic acids brought detrimental effects on TC removal and therefore should be biologically degraded in advance. This work offers a facile and cost-effective solution to decontaminate TC in natural and engineered water bodies.

Abstract
Chemical modification of biochars can improve their adsorption capacity relative to antibiotics, posing a serious threat to the environment. Therefore, this research is aimed at the treatment of sunflower husk biochar (BC) by vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide or silver nanoparticles and the impact of this procedure on the biochar porosity, surface chemistry, and ability to remove tetracycline (TC). During the study, BC was produced by pyrolysis of sunflower husks at 650 °C. All solids were characterized using potentiometric titration, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, etc. The experimental adsorption data was described by kinetics equations: pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and particle internal diffusion (IPD) models as well as by isotherms of Langmuir, Langmuir-Freundlich, and Redlich-Peterson. The obtained results indicated that the biochar upgraded by vitamin C (BCV) had the highest ability to attract antibiotic molecules and, as a result, the TC adsorption on its surface was the largest. Furthermore, the TC desorption from this material was minimal. The measured TC adsorbed amounts for the modified BCs were as follows: 47.75% (7.47 mg/g) for BCV, 37.35% (8.41 mg/g)-for biochar treated by hydrogen peroxide (BCH), and 42.04% (9.55 mg/g) for biochar modified by silver nanoparticles (BCA). The lowest adsorption level was noted for non-modified biochar, i.e., 34.17% (6.83 mg/g). Based on the presented results it can be stated that the upgraded biochars had a good potential to improve the tetracycline removal from aqueous media, e.g., groundwater.
