Mangla D, Sharma A, Ikram S. Critical review on adsorptive removal of antibiotics: Present situation, challenges and future perspective. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 425:127946. [PMID: 34891019 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 38.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
This review gives a proper dedicated understanding of the contamination level, sources, and biological dangers related with different classes of antibiotics in consumable water. The literature on the adsorption of antibiotics is relatively uncommon and developments are still under progression, especially for adsorbents other than activated carbon. Also, adsorption technique has already been applied vastly for water treatment. Notwithstanding significant progressions, designed natural wastewater treatment frameworks are just bearably effective (48-77%) in the expulsion of antibiotics. Hence, the compilation of available literature especially for antibiotic adsorption was much needed. Moreover, the conventional adsorbents have some limitations of their own. In this study, the main focus was laid on unconventional adsorbents such as Biochar, Biopolymers, Carbon Nanotubes, Clays, Metal-Organic Frameworks, Microalgae and some miscellaneous adsorbents. The mechanism of adsorption by the unconventional adsorbents includes electrostatic interactions, π-π bonding, weak Van der Waal forces, H-bonding and surface complexation, which was similar to that of conventional adsorbents and hence these unconventional adsorbents can easily replace the costlier conventional adsorbents with even better adsorption efficiency. This paper also briefly discussed the thermodynamics, adsorption equilibrium; isotherm and kinetics of adsorption. This review paper seizes the critical advances of adsorption phenomenon at various interfaces and lays the foundation for current scenario associated with further progress. Besides, this study would help in understanding the antibiotic adsorption, cost estimation and future goals that will attract the young the researchers of this field.

Adsorption and detoxification of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater using nanomaterials: A review on mechanism, kinetics, valorization and circular economy. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 300:113569.

Abstract
Antibiotics overuse, inappropriate conduct, and discharge have led to adverse effects on various ecosystems. The occurrence of antibiotics in surface and drinking water is a matter of global concern. It is responsible for multiple disorders, including disruption of endocrine hormones and high chronic toxicity. The hospitals, pharmaceutical industries, households, cattle farms, and aquaculture are the primary discharging sources of antibiotics into the environment. This review provides complete detail on applying different nanomaterials or nanoparticles for the efficient removal of antibiotics from the diverse ecosystem with a broader perspective. Efforts have been made to focus on the degradation pathways and mechanism of antibiotic degradation using nanomaterials. More light has been shed on applying nanostructures in photocatalysis, which would be an economical and efficient solution. The nanoscale material or nanoparticles have incredible potential for mineralizing pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous solutions at low cost, easy handling characteristics, and high efficacy. Furthermore, nanoparticles can absorb the pharmaceutical by-products and wastes at a minimum cost as they can be easily recycled. With the increasing number of research in this direction, the valorization of pharmaceutical wastes and by-products will continue to expand as we progress from old conventional approaches towards nanotechnology. The utilization of nanomaterials in pharmaceutical wastewater remediation is discussed with a major focus on valorization, energy generation, and minimization and its role in the circular economy creating sustainable development.

Chitosan, alginate and other macromolecules as activated carbon immobilizing agents: A review on composite adsorbents for the removal of water contaminants. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 164:2535-2549.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) is widely used in water treatment, however, it has some technical disadvantages, such as its high cost and difficulty to recover. To overcome these drawbacks, AC particles have been encapsulated within a polymeric support, mainly chitosan and alginate-based. The use of these biological macromolecules results in composites with lower-cost, superior mechanical properties, and higher number of functional groups, advantages that have been attracted the attention of the scientific community. However, the number of publications is relatively low, demonstrating an important research gap yet to be investigated. Thus, this paper aims to review the recent studies concerning the use of chitosan, alginate and other macromolecules as AC immobilizing agents, describing the synthesis methods, characterization analyses and adsorption studies, focusing on the main advantages, disadvantages, gaps and future perspectives. Throughout the review it was verified that the composites were able to remove several water contaminants, mainly dyes and heavy metals, with high efficiency. Synergistic effects were detected, indicating the role of both polymers and AC, which increased the spectrum of contaminants capable of being adsorbed. Finally, it was observed a gap in column experiments, suggesting that future studies are essential to elucidate the applications in the industrial perspective.

Abstract
Traditional water treatment plants adopt multiple treatments to sequentially treat raw water for producing potable water. Besides complex treatment design and operation, they typically require a large space to accommodate different reactors. Furthermore, emerging issues (e.g. poor removal of persistent micro-pollutants) challenge the conventional treatment train. In this study, bench-scale tests were performed with real surface waters to evaluate ferrate(VI) treatment as a key alternative process for traditional water treatment. Of note, most earlier investigations on ferrate(VI) for water treatment utilized ferrate(VI) merely for pre- or post-treatment or simply as a disinfecting agent. Fundamentally different from the previous efforts, this study aimed to assess whether one-step ferrate(VI) addition, coupled with sedimentation, provided a comprehensive treatment, better than or equivalent to conventional surface water treatment. Results show that ferrate(VI) could simultaneously and effectively remove turbidity, degrade natural organic matter (NOM), and inactivate bacterial indicators in one single dose. The treatment performance relied heavily on ferrate(VI) dose and pH. Generally, higher ferrate(VI) dose improved the treatment results, except that it might re-suspend particles at a high dose at an alkaline condition. Lower pH favored coagulation due to reduction of zeta potentials on particle surface and promotion of their aggregation and enhanced the degradation of NOM because of higher Fe(VI) reactivity toward reductive moieties. In contrast, higher pH benefited the disinfection efficiency due to better stability and greater exposure of ferrate(VI). This study demonstrates that ferrate(VI) treatment can serve as a core treatment process in alternative water treatment designs for addressing various challenges.

Abstract
Residues from pharmaceutical products are found in effluents and in other environmental matrices such as soil and surface waters. Chitin and chitosan are highly adsorptive substances present in mushrooms such as champignon (Agaricus bisporus) and shiitake (Lentinula edodes). This study evaluated the adsorption efficiency of shiitake and champignon stalks, and shiitake substrate in water contaminated with paracetamol and 17 α-ethynyl estradiol (EE2). Stalks and substrate were dried and ground. Particles were physically evaluated and chemically characterized. Adsorption kinetic and isotherms were carried out for EE2 and paracetamol. Shiitake and champignon stalks had high percentage of porosity, closed and open pores. All bioproducts from mushroom had chemical groups similar to chitosan standard. However, the degree of deacetylation of chitosan was higher in shiitake (28.3%). In EE2 adsorption kinetics, shiitake and champignon stalks showed 100% removal in 20 and 30 min, respectively. Shiitake substrate showed 80% removal. In paracetamol adsorption kinetics, all bioproducts presented more than 95% removal. In EE2 adsorption isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) to shiitake and champignon stalks and shiitake substrate were 5.62, 18.95 and 0.31 mgEE2/g, respectively. For paracetamol adsorption isotherm, qmax to shiitake and champignon stalks were 34.20 and 338.08 mgparacetamol/g, respectively. In conclusion, shiitake and champignon stalks (specially champignon) had the best results regarding the adsorption of EE2 and paracetamol. Reuse of discarded mushroom waste reduces the environmental impact and can add value to the product.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of endocrine-disrupting compound and pharmaceutical active compounds such as bisphenol A (BPA) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in natural freshwater resources can cause serious environmental problems even at low exposure levels. In this work, in order to remove BPA and SMX from aqueous solutions, a novel biochar-supported magnetic CuZnFe2O4 composite (CZF-biochar) was synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal process. After characterization studies, the key factors affecting BPA and SMX adsorption on CZF-biochar were comprehensively investigated. The primary mechanisms for BPA and SMX adsorption included charge-assisted H-bonding, hydrophobic, and π-π electron donor-acceptor interactions. In summary, considering the fast kinetics, high adsorption properties, easy magnetic separation, and recyclability for multiple reuses, the CZF-biochar composite has potential for the removal of BPA, SMX, and potentially other emerging organic contaminants from contaminated soil and water.

Abstract
Micropollutants, also called emerging contaminants, consist of an extensive group of synthetic and natural substances, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, steroid hormones, and agrochemicals. Currently, the monitoring of residual pharmaceuticals in the environment has been highlighted due to the fact that many of these substances are found in wastewater treatment plants effluents and surface waters, in concentrations ranging from ng L-1 to μg L-1. Most of these compounds are discharged into the environment continuously through domestic sewage treatment systems. In the present work, it is presented an overview of water pollution by these pollutants, as well as a review of the recent literature about the use of low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the main pharmaceuticals found in surface water, focusing on municipal and agroindustrial wastes as precursors. It was possible to observe several examples of high adsorption capacities of these compounds with such materials, however other aspects must be considered in order to evaluate the real applicability in water and wastewater treatment, such as competition, recyclability and production cost.

Abstract
The competitive sorption of the antibiotics sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) and SMX-Cd(II) on a hybrid clay nanosorbent (NanoSorb) was investigated in detail in this work. NanoSorb was synthesized by sorbing a surfactant on bentonite. Besides, the sorption of SMX on the NanoSorb was confirmed by FTIR analysis, and SMX was mainly sorbed on NanoSorb by a partition mechanism due to hydrophobic interactions. Otherwise, the single adsorption of Cd(II) and TMP onto NanoSorb were due to electrostatic interaction and hydrophobic partition, respectively. The capacity of NanoSorb for sorbing single SMX was very similar to that for single Cd(II), but more than 10 times higher than that for single TMP. The competitive sorption of SMX-TMP was antagonistic because the sorption of one antibiotic on NanoSorb was decreased by the presence of the other antibiotic. The uptake of SMX was reduced up to 43.4% by the presence of TMP, whereas the presence of SMX decreased the uptake of TMP up to 29.6%. The non-modified Langmuir multicomponent isotherm (NLMI) interpreted quite well the experimental competitive sorption data of SMX-TMP. On the other hand, the competitive sorption of SMX-Cd(II) on NanoSorb revealed that the sorption of SMX was non-interactive because it was not influenced by the presence of Cd(II). Whereas, the sorption of Cd(II) was synergistic or cooperative since the uptake of Cd(II) sorbed increased considerably with the uptake of SMX sorbed on NanoSorb. The two-site Langmuir model fitted the experimental competitive sorption data of Cd(II) on NanoSorb saturated with SMX. The application of this isotherm was based on the fact that Cd(II) sorbed on two types of sites: a) cationic sites of the NanoSorb and b) Pi-cation interactions between the aromatic ring of the SMX sorbed on NanoSorb and Cd2+.

Abstract
This study investigated the potential effect of four frequently used inorganic regenerant properties (i.e., ionic strength, cation type, anion type, and regeneration solution volume) on the desorption and adsorption performance of 14 pharmaceuticals, belonging to 12 therapeutic classes with different predominant chemical forms and hydrophobicities, using polymeric anion exchange resin (AER)-packed fixed-bed column tests. After preconditioning with NaCl, NaOH, or saline-alkaline (SA) solutions, all resulting mobile counterion types of AERs effectively adsorbed all 14 pharmaceuticals, where the preferential magnitude of OH--type = Cl- + OH--type > Cl--type. During regeneration, ionic strength (1 M versus 3 M NaCl) had no significant influence on desorption performance for any of the 14 pharmaceuticals, while no regenerant cation (HCl versus NaCl) or anion type (NaCl versus NaOH and SA) achieved higher desorption efficiencies for all pharmaceuticals. A volumetric increase in 1 M or 3 M NaCl solutions significantly improved the desorption efficiencies of most pharmaceuticals, irrespective of ionic strength. The results indicate that regeneration protocols, including regenerant cation type, anion type and volume, should be optimized to improve pharmaceutical removal by AERs.

Abstract
This study attempted to clarify the long-term pharmaceutical removal mechanism from sewage treatment plant effluent during the cyclical adsorption-regeneration operation of 5 commercial resin-based fixed-bed reactors with the simultaneous occurrence of electrostatic interactions and complex non-electrostatic interactions. It examined 12 pharmaceuticals belonging to 10 therapeutic classes with different predominant existing forms and hydrophobicities. Furthermore, the effect of the resin charged functional group (strong-base vs. strong-acid vs. non-ionic), porosity (macroporous vs. gel), and chemical matrix (polystyrenic vs. polyacrylic) on the mechanism was investigated to optimize resin properties and achieve higher pharmaceutical removal. The results reported herein indicate the importance of non-electrostatic interactions between pharmaceuticals and the resin backbone during short-term cyclical operation (i.e., the 1st adsorption-regeneration cycle). With the development of cyclical operation, however, non-electrostatic interaction-induced pharmaceutical removal generally decreased and even disappeared when equilibrium was achieved between the influent and the resin. Despite pharmaceutical therapeutic class or hydrophilicity, anion (or cation) exchange resin preferentially removed those pharmaceuticals that were predominantly present as organic anions (or cations) by ion exchange process during long-term cyclical operation (i.e., ≥6 adsorption-regeneration cycles). Besides pharmaceuticals predominantly present as undissociated molecules, some amphoteric pharmaceuticals containing large amounts of zwitterions were also difficult to remove by ion exchange resin. Additionally, neither resin porosity nor chemical matrix had any significant effect on the long-term pharmaceutical removal mechanism.

Ahmed MB, Zhou JL, Ngo HH, Guo W. Adsorptive removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater: Progress and challenges. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2015; 532:112-26. [PMID: 26057999 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.05.130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 501] [Impact Index Per Article: 55.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2015] [Revised: 05/26/2015] [Accepted: 05/28/2015] [Indexed: 04/15/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotics as emerging contaminants are of global concern due to the development of antibiotic resistant genes potentially causing superbugs. Current wastewater treatment technology cannot sufficiently remove antibiotics from sewage, hence new and low-cost technology is needed. Adsorptive materials have been extensively used for the conditioning, remediation and removal of inorganic and organic hazardous materials, although their application for removing antibiotics has been reported for ~30 out of 250 antibiotics so far. The literature on the adsorptive removal of antibiotics using different adsorptive materials is summarized and critically reviewed, by comparing different adsorbents with varying physicochemical characteristics. The efficiency for removing antibiotics from water and wastewater by different adsorbents has been evaluated by examining their adsorption coefficient (Kd) values. For sulfamethoxazole the different adsorbents followed the trend: biochar (BC)> multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)>graphite = clay minerals, and for tetracycline the adsorptive materials followed the trend: SWCNT > graphite > MWCNT = activated carbon (AC) > bentonite = humic substance = clay minerals. The underlying controlling parameters for the adsorption technology have been examined. In addition, the cost of preparing adsorbents has been estimated, which followed the order of BCs < ACs < ion exchange resins < MWCNTs < SWCNTs. The future research challenges on process integration, production and modification of low-cost adsorbents are elaborated.
