Antibiotics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(3), P. 440 - 440

Published: Feb. 23, 2023

Antibacterial drugs are among the most commonly used medications in world. Tetracycline is a widely antibiotic for human and animal therapy due to its broad-spectrum activity, high effectiveness, reasonable cost. The indications treatment with tetracycline include pneumonia, bone joint infections, infectious disorders of skin, sexually transmitted gastrointestinal infections. However, has become serious threat environment because overuse by humans veterinarians weak ability degrade. capable accumulating along food chain, causing toxicity microbial community, encouraging development spread resistance, creating threats drinking irrigation water, disrupting flora intestine. It essential address negative impact on environment, as it causes ecological imbalance. Ineffective wastewater systems main reasons increased concentrations aquatic sources. possible degrade breaking down into small molecules less harmful or nonhazardous effects. A range methods physical, chemical, biological degradation exists. review will discuss effects consumption describe available removal methods.

Published: March 24, 2020

Biochar has emerged as a new class of biomass-derived functional materials that can be obtained using plethora thermochemical conversion techniques. Biochar-based environmental catalysts have potential applications toward positive, planet-level impact. Here, recent observations in the activated conversions emerging contaminants are reviewed, highlighting most influential advancements, including metal-free processes. The status quo underlying interaction mechanisms summarized, revealing active moieties, persistent free radicals, graphitic degree and electron transfer capacity collectively synergistically regulate catalytic potency. These remarkable features convey biochar's high activity flexibility into viable chemo-redox, photo-, bio-, sono-, electrocatalysis. Advanced coupling processes some perspectives on future possibilities proposed at end.

Design and application of metal-organic frameworks and derivatives as heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for organic wastewater treatment: A review

Environment International, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 146, P. 106273 - 106273

Published: Nov. 28, 2020

Advanced oxidation process (AOP), with a high efficiency, fast reaction speed (relatively no secondary pollution), has become one of the core technologies industrial wastewater and advanced drinking water treatment. Heterogeneous Fenton-like (HFOP) is kind AOP, which developed rapidly in recent years such way to overcome disadvantages traditional Fenton reaction. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) their derivatives essential heterogeneous catalysts for organics mineralization due large specific surface area, abundant active sites, ease structural regulation. However, knowledge gap on mechanism fate catalyst species during degradation activities by MOFs presents considerable impediments, particularly wide application scaling up process. This work potential provide guidance ideas researchers engineers fields environmental remediation, catalysis functional materials. review focuses clarifying critical •OH production from as well its action organic's The developments MOF based HFOP are compared, more attention paid following aspects this review: (1) classifies systematically progressive modification methods chemical physical treatments; (2) analyzes catalytic treating organic wastewater; (3) proposes design principles improving performance catalysts; (4) discusses main factors influencing properties practical application; (5) summarizes possible research challenges directions applied treatment future.

Chemically Modified Biosorbents and Their Role in the Removal of Emerging Pharmaceutical Waste in the Water System

Water, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 12(6), P. 1551 - 1551

Published: May 29, 2020

Presence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PACs) as emerging contaminants in water is a major concern. Recent reports have confirmed the presence PACs natural and wastewater systems, which caused several problems indicating urgent need for their removal. The current review evaluates role chemically modified biosorbents removal water. Reported include plant animal solid waste, microorganisms bio-composite. Bio-composites exhibited better prospects when compared with other biosorbents. Types chemical treatment reported acid, alkaline, solvent extraction, metal salt impregnation surface grafting, alkaline exhibiting results treatments. biosorption processes mostly obeyed pseudo-second-order model Langmuir isotherm process described mainly by ionic interaction. Desorption regeneration capacity are very important selecting an appropriate biosorbent process. Depending on type biosorbent, cost per million liters was estimated US $10–US $200, presents cheap to known processes. However, there conduct large-scale studies removing
