Insights into the Fate and Removal of Antibiotics in Engineered Biological Treatment Systems: A Critical Review

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 53(13), P. 7234 - 7264

Published: June 3, 2019

Antibiotics, the most frequently prescribed drugs of modern medicine, are extensively used for both human and veterinary applications. Antibiotics from different wastewater sources (e.g., municipal, hospitals, animal production, pharmaceutical industries) ultimately discharged into treatment plants. Sorption biodegradation two major removal pathways antibiotics during biological processes. This review provides fundamental insights sorption mechanisms classes with diverse physical–chemical attributes. Important factors affecting behavior also highlighted. Furthermore, this sheds light on critical role extracellular polymeric substances adsorption their in engineered systems. Despite advancements, systems only moderately effective (48–77%) antibiotics. In review, we systematically summarize various discussion efficiency, mechanisms, bioreactor operating conditions removal, recent innovative advancements. Besides, relevant background information including classification, properties, occurrence environment is briefly covered. aims to advance our understanding fate outlines future research directions.

Pharmaceutical wastewater as Emerging Contaminants (EC): Treatment technologies, impact on environment and human health

Energy Nexus, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 6, P. 100076 - 100076

Published: April 26, 2022

A wide range of unregulated chemicals synthetic origin or derived from natural sources, which may be a contender for future regulations are called Emerging Contaminants (ECs). The concentration ECs ranges ng/L to μg/L, is comparatively smaller as compared other pollutants present in water and wastewater. Even though the environmental low, still possess great threat humans ecosystem. These compounds being widely studied due their potential health effects, pervasive nature, difficult degradation through conventional techniques. Pharmaceutical active (PhACs) pharmaceutical contaminants (PCs) one major groups can cause inimical effect on living organisms even at very lower concentration. don't degrade easily persistent longer periods environment stable structure. With increase demand Pharmaceuticals Personal Care Products (PPCPs), there has been sharp these bodies. This mainly inefficiency wastewater treatment plants removal PhACs. proper identification development techniques crucial recent times. review represents comprehensive summary PCs, various PCs an overview approaches systems available removal.

Microalgae-based wastewater treatment: Mechanisms, challenges, recent advances, and future prospects

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13, P. 100205 - 100205

Published: Sept. 8, 2022

The rapid expansion of both the global economy and human population has led to a shortage water resources suitable for direct consumption. As result, remediation will inexorably become primary focus on scale. Microalgae can be grown in various types wastewaters (WW). They have high potential remove contaminants from effluents industries urban areas. This review focuses recent advances WW through microalgae cultivation. Attention already been paid microalgae-based wastewater treatment (WWT) due its low energy requirements, strong ability thrive under diverse environmental conditions, transform nutrients into high-value compounds. It turned out that WWT is an economical sustainable solution. Moreover, different toxins are removed by biosorption, bioaccumulation, biodegradation processes. Examples agricultural runoffs textile pharmaceutical industrial effluents. mitigate carbon dioxide make use micronutrients present paper highlights application pollutants commonly mechanisms, simultaneous resource recovery, efficient co-culturing systems along with bottlenecks prospects.
