Antibiotics, as antimicrobial drugs, have been widely applied human and veterinary medicines. Recently, many antibiotics detected in the environments due to their mass production, widespread use, but a lack of adequate treatment processes. The environmental occurrence has received worldwide attention potential harm ecosystem health. Research status environment field is presented by bibliometrics. Herein, we provided comprehensive overview on following important issues: (1) different compartments, such wastewater, surface water, soil; (2) toxicity toward non-target organisms, including aquatic terrestrial organisms; (3) current technologies for degradation removal antibiotics, adsorption, hydrolysis, photodegradation oxidation, biodegradation. It was found that macrolides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, sulfonamides were most frequently environment. Compared groundwaters, wastewater contained high concentration antibiotic residues. Both metabolites exhibited especially organisms (e.g., algae fish). Fluoroquinolones, can be removed through abiotic process, photodegradation, oxidation. Fluoroquinolones directly undergo Further studies chronic effects at environmentally relevant concentrations urgently needed fully understand hazards help government establish permissible limits. Biodegradation promising technology; it numerous advantages cost-effectiveness friendliness.

Biomass waste has known as a new precursor for the production of carbon-based materials due to its carbon richness, low cost, ease access, ubiquitous, renewable and environmental-friendliness. In this publication, study on availability biomass (CBMs) wastewater treatment application is reviewed addressed. This paper discussed several types CBMs such activated carbon, graphene, nanotubes, biochar, aerogel. The these different their modification are given special attention. As harmful organic, dyes, inorganic pollutants emerging from caused damage environment water supplies, adsorption most widely utilised conventional technology removal hazardous use relatively cheap in comparison with other methods. corresponds which mainly works mechanism perform treatment.

CO2 capture materials: a review of current trends and future challenges

Materials Today Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 24, P. 100483 - 100483

Published: July 29, 2023

Over the last decade, CO2 adsorption technology has quickly gained popularity and is now widely applied in global CCUS projects due to playing an important role achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As a result, new materials, or methods of post-modification those already available have been successively reported enhance efficiency capture from flue gases. This paper discusses systematic understanding fundamental aspects current research trends discussed terms developing selected solid adsorbent with particular emphasis on upcoming challenges. The candidates are reviewed considering practical drawbacks imposed industrial scale economics, including carbon-based MOFs, polymers, zeolite, silica, alumina, metal oxides, amine-based adsorbents, other composite porous materials. Solid sorbents derived biomass, residues, their thermochemical conversion also studied high need for cost-effective raw materials crucial circular economy. Lastly, techno-economic analysis (TEA) included provide most criteria that should be considered when adsorbents implemented scale. Consequently, review summarized, recommendations offered future development aims establish comprehensive theoretical basis characterization technologies currently used reduce emissions, along highlighting identification precise articulation paths could beneficial address over next years.
