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. Efficient effective methods useful completely eradicating making bodies safe use. So, investment capital time research beneficial future.

Monolithic Covalent Organic Frameworks with Hierarchical Architecture: Attractive Platform for Contaminant Remediation

Chemistry of Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 35(7), P. 2661 - 2682

Published: March 24, 2023

The insolubility in solvents and poor processability of powder covalent organic frameworks (COFs) considerably impede their practical application. To address these issues bridge the gap between COFs application, construction monolithic has emerged as a feasible effective solution. Monolithic (i.e., macroscopic three-dimensional architectures) with hierarchical structures have attracted tremendous interest for environmental remediation exhibited good contaminant removal performances owing to wide distribution pore sizes ranging from micropores macropores, large specific surface area, tailored chemical components, excellent stability. can be either pure self-supporting or composites other materials. resulting COF-based monoliths inherit merits parent (such tunable size, structure, super chemical/thermal stability) intriguing features materials, such high porosity, easy handling, endowing them fast mass transfer adsorption capacity. This review provides comprehensive summary recent advances synthesis COF Additionally, progress application is summarized, including metal-ion removal, organic-pollutant capture, oil–water separation. Furthermore, this discusses current challenges future perspectives. We sincerely hope that it will contribute further development materials fields, especially remediation.

Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance, referring to microorganisms' capability subsist and proliferate even when there are antimicrobials is a foremost threat public health globally. The appearance of antimicrobial resistance can be ascribed anthropological, animal, environmental factors. Human-related causes include overuse misuse in medicine, antibiotic-containing cosmetics biocides utilization, inadequate sanitation hygiene settings. Prophylactic therapeutic overuse, using as feed additives, microbes resistant antibiotics genes animal excreta, residue found animal-origin food excreta animals related contributive factors for the antibiotic emergence spread. Environmental including naturally existing genes, improper disposal unused antimicrobials, contamination from waste settings, farms, pharmaceutical industries, use agricultural chemicals facilitatet its Wildlife has plausible role Adopting one-health approach involving properly humans, improving spaces implementing coordinated governmental regulations crucial combating resistance.

Biochar-Based Strategies for Antibiotics Removal: Mechanisms, Factors, and Application

ACS ES&T Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4(6), P. 1256 - 1274

Published: April 22, 2024

The increasing use of antibiotics induces the spread antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) in environment, which seriously threatens natural ecosystem and human health. Reducing environment is utmost importance. Biochar, as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, carbon-rich porous material with circular economy prospects, has shown great potential antibiotic remediation environment. adsorption mechanisms (e.g., electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding hydrophobic π–π electron donor–acceptor (EDA) pore diffusion) biotic roles biochar microbial shelter, carrier, mediator) synergistically promote removal from aqueous phase. This review critically discusses various based on classes antibiotics, efficacy removal, influence crucial parameters antibiotics. Furthermore, provides critical discussion engineering application biochar. Finally, highlights prospects challenges treating antibiotic-contaminated liquid streams.
