[PMID: 38309035 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Antibiotics are considered as the new generation water pollutants as these disturb endocrine systems if water contaminated with antibiotics is consumed. Among many antibiotics norfloxacin is present in various natural water bodies globally. This antibiotic is considered an emerging pollutant due to its low degradation in aquatic animals. Besides, it has many side effects on human vital organs. Therefore, the present article discusses the recent advances in the removal of norfloxacin by adsorption. This article describes the presence of norfloxacin in natural water, consumption, toxicity, various adsorbents for norfloxacin removal, optimization factors for norfloxacin removal, kinetics, thermodynamics, modeling, adsorption mechanism and regeneration of the adsorbents. Adsorption takes place in a monolayer following the Langmuir model. The Pseudo-second order model represents the kinetic data. The adsorption capacity ranged from 0.924 to 1282 mg g-1. In this sense, the parameters such as the NFX concentration added to the adsorbent textural properties exerted a great influence. Besides, the fixed bed-based removal at a large scale is also included. In addition to this, the simulation studies were also discussed to describe the adsorption mechanism. Finally, the research challenges and future perspectives have also been highlighted. This article will be highly useful for academicians, researchers, industry persons, and government authorities for designing future advanced experiments.

Ricky R, Shanthakumar S. A pilot-scale study on the removal of binary mixture (ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin) by Scenedesmus obliquus: Optimization, biotransformation, and biofuel profile. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118388. [PMID: 37354597 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118388] [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: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and norfloxacin (NOR) belong to the organic contaminants of emerging concern (OCECs) that are frequently detected in wastewater matrices at ng/L to mg/L concentrations. This study investigates the potential of Scenedesmus obliquus in the treatment of CIP and NOR as a binary mixture from raw wastewater. Optimization of inoculum was done to find the required cell density concentration that has less inhibition and high removal. The optimum inoculum (cell density: 200 × 105 cells/mL and OD680: 1.0) has shown 75% removal with no inhibition of growth. A pilot scale study was conducted in controlled environment using high-rate algal pond to investigate the contribution of abiotic and biotic removal. Abiotic removal is negligible in comparison with the biotic contribution of removal. The order of removal efficiency is observed as COD (88%) > NOR (84.8%) > CIP (84.6%) > NH4+ (71.7%) with biodegradation as the major removal mechanism. Biotransformed products of CIP + NOR were identified inside the Scenedesmus obliquus. During the pilot-scale study, Biomass (3.70 ± 0.07 g/L) was harvested with carbohydrates (17.85 ± 0.1%), lipids (38.36 ± 0.13%), and proteins (28.18 ± 1.63%). Lipid productivity in binary mixture was 2.6 times higher than the lipid production in control condition. Transesterification of these lipids yielded good biofuel composition of 32.72% of saturated fatty acids and 21.7% of unsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract
Norfloxacin (NRFX) is one of a class of antibiotics known as broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is frequently used to treat infectious disorders in both animals and humans. NRFX is considered an emergent pharmaceutical contaminate. This review's objective is to evaluate empirical data on NRFX's removal from aqueous medium. The environmental danger of NRFX in the aquatic environment was validated by an initial ecotoxicological study. Graphene oxide/Metal Organic Framework (MOF) based composite, followed by Magnesium oxide/Chitosan/Graphene oxide composite gave the highest NRFX adsorption capacities (Qmax) of 1114.8 and 1000 mg/g, respectively. The main adsorption mechanisms for NRFX uptake include electrostatic interactions, H-bonds, π-π interactions, electron donor-acceptor interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and pore diffusion. The adsorptive uptake of NRFX were most suitably described by Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order implying adsorbate-to-adsorbent electron transfer on a monolayer surface. The thermodynamics of NRFX uptake is heavily dependent on the makeup of the adsorbent, and the selection of the eluent for desorption from the solid phase is equally important. There were detected knowledge gaps in column studies and adsorbent disposal method. There's great interest in scale-up and industrial applications of research results that will aid in management of water resources for sustainability.

Abstract
This study investigates degradation processes of three antimicrobials in water (norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole) by photolysis, focusing on the prediction of toxicity endpoints via in silico quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of their transformation products (TPs). Photolysis experiments were conducted in distilled water with individual solutions at 10 mg L-1 for each compound. Identification of TPs was performed by means of LC-TOF-MS, employing a method based on retention time, exact mass fragmentation pattern, and peak intensity. Ten main compounds were identified for sulfamethoxazole, fifteen for ciprofloxacin, and fifteen for norfloxacin. Out of 40 identified TPs, 6 have not been reported in the literature. Based on new data found in this work, and TPs already reported in the literature, we have proposed degradation pathways for all three antimicrobials, providing reasoning for the identified TPs. QSAR risk assessment was carried out for 74 structures of possible isomers. QSAR predictions showed that all 19 possible structures of sulfamethoxazole TPs are non-mutagenic, whereas 16 are toxicant, 18 carcinogenic, and 14 non-readily biodegradable. For ciprofloxacin, 28 out of the 30 possible structures for the TPs are mutagenic and non-readily biodegradable, and all structures are toxicant and carcinogenic. All 25 possible norfloxacin TPs were predicted mutagenic, toxicant, carcinogenic, and non-readily biodegradable. Results obtained from in silico QSAR models evince the need of performing risk assessment for TPs as well as for the parent antimicrobial. An expert analysis of QSAR predictions using different models and degradation pathways is imperative, for a large variety of structures was found for the TPs.

Abstract
Microwave (MW) technology has gained increasing interest in wastewater treatment due to its unique properties, such as fast and uniform heating, hot spots effect, and non-thermal effect. MW enhances the production of active radicals (e.g., OH, SO4-), which exerts a stronger integrated treatment effect in combination with advanced oxidation processes. Over the years, microwave-assisted advanced oxidation processes (MW-AOPs) have developed rapidly to degrade pollutants as innovative treatment approaches. This paper provides a detailed classification and a comprehensive review of MW-AOPs. The latest applications of MW in different advanced oxidation systems (oxidation systems, catalytic oxidation systems, and photochemical, electrochemical and sonochemical systems) are reviewed. The reaction parameters and performance of MW-AOPs in wastewater treatment are discussed, and the enhancement of pollutant degradation by MW is highlighted. In addition, the operating costs of MW-AOPs are evaluated. Some recommendations on MW-AOPs are made for future research. This review provides meaningful information on the potential development and evolution of MW-AOPs.

Abstract
Microwave-assisted catalytic oxidation technology has become an effective technology for rapid removal of organic pollutants in wastewater. In this research, the removal of methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution by CuFe2O4 loaded on carbon nanotubes (CuFe2O4/CNTs) under microwave irradiation was studied. The effects of different loadings (1:2, 1:4, 1:8) of CuFe2O4 on the dielectric loss, magnetic loss, dielectric loss factor, magnetic loss factor, and reflection loss of composite materials were studied. The results showed that the microwave adsorption performance was improved by loading CuFe2O4 on CNTs. These different composites were further characterized by SEM, FTIR, and XRD techniques. In addition, this article also studied the effects of different microwave irradiation time, pH, and ionic factors on the degradation of MO. In particular, the mechanism of MO degradation by composite materials under different pH conditions was also studied in detail. The results showed that the removal rate reaches 97% with 5 min under the best conditions, and the composite material had good anti-interference performance. This study may provide a new option to degrade organic dye in wastewater treating.

Abstract
Classic and conventional procedures in molecular cloning are inherent compositions in modern molecular biological experiments and are frequently involved in daily laboratory activities. They take up the majority of the total time input in spite of the availability of well-designed specialized commercial kits. A similar situation is also in the field of biotechnology. Fortunately, microwave/ultrasonic irradiation has been found to be capable of speeding up these processes, such as proteolysis in sample preparation for proteomics research, and digestion, ligation, (de)phosphorylation of DNA with the corresponding enzymes, even the introduction of DNA samples to recipient cells, and biotransformation (e.g., the production of biodiesel). Microwave/ultrasonic irradiation, when used solely or in combination with other existing operations, makes it possible to finish these time-consuming processes in as short as 1 min with comparable or even improved efficiency, and there is no need of reagent upgradation. The adoption of irradiation is ideal because it eliminates any possible side effects of the chemicals used as performance enhancer(s) that will inevitably make the system more complicated at least. More notably, the needed irradiation in the laboratory can be generated by a common microwave oven or ultrasonic cleaner. Taken together, microwave/ultrasonic irradiation provides an accessible method to make the procedures mentioned above time- and cost- efficient. In this article, we reviewed the relevant literature and discussed the experiment and mechanism details.
