“…A study was done to examine the efficacy of three AOPs for removing antibiotics from wastewater: ozonation, photo-Fenton process, and heterogeneous photocatalytic process with a TiO 2 semiconductor. The ozonation process was discovered to be effective at removing all types of antibiotics [ 115 ]. The majority of the literature to date, however, has been devoted to bench- or pilot-scale experiments.…”

The presence of pharmaceuticals in surface water and wastewater poses a threat to public health and has significant effects on the ecosystem. Since most wastewater treatment plants are ineffective at removing molecules efficiently, some pharmaceuticals enter aquatic ecosystems, thus creating issues such as antibiotic resistance and toxicity. This review summarizes the methods used for the removal of ceftriaxone antibiotics from aquatic environments. Ceftriaxone is one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in many countries, including Tanzania. Ceftriaxone has been reported to be less or not degraded in traditional wastewater treatment of domestic sewage. This has piqued the interest of researchers in the monitoring and removal of ceftriaxone from wastewater. Its removal from aqueous systems has been studied using a variety of methods which include physical, biological, and chemical processes. As a result, information about ceftriaxone has been gathered from many sources with the searched themes being ceftriaxone in wastewater, ceftriaxone analysis, and ceftriaxone removal or degradation. The methods studied have been highlighted and the opportunities for future research have been described.

“…In fact, already treated waters continue to show high levels of these pollutants [14]. As an alternative procedure to those already mentioned above, it is worth highlighting the chemical transformation through advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and especially those involving semiconductor photocatalysts [15]. These processes are based on the catalytic photodegradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution, being much more efficient than conventional methods, as well as being ecofriendly with the environment [15].…”

These processes are based on the catalytic photodegradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution, being much more efficient than conventional methods, as well as being ecofriendly with the environment [15]. The AOPs processes produce highly oxidized species, such as radicals and other reactive species, which degrade, through a chain reaction, organic pollutants in solution, allowing complete mineralization [16,17].…”

The photocatalytic degradation of two quinolone-type antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin) in aqueous solution was studied, using catalysts based on ZnO nanoparticles, which were synthesized by a thermal procedure. The efficiency of ZnO was subsequently optimized by incorporating different co-catalysts of gC3N4, reduced graphene oxide and nanoparticles of gold. The catalysts were fully characterized by electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), XPS, XRD, Raman, and BET surface area. The most efficient catalyst was 10%Au@ZnONPs-3%rGO-3%gC3N4, allowing to obtain degradations of both pollutants above 96%. This catalyst has the largest specific area, and its activity has been related to a synergistic effect, involving factors as relevant as the surface of the material and the ability to absorb radiation in the visible region, mainly produced by the incorporation of rGO and gC3N4 to the semiconductor. The use of different scavengers during the catalytic process, was used to establish the possible photodegradation mechanism of both antibiotics.

“…8 Tetracycline (TC) is commonly used in pharmaceutical healthcare and industrial farming due to its potent antibacterial effects. 9 To remove tetracycline and other potentially harmful antibiotics from aqueous environments, researchers have investigated many effective techniques, namely electrochemical, 10,11 bio-enzymatic, 12 photocatalytic, 13 membrane ltration, 14,15 and adsorption methods. 12,16,17 Adsorption is a promising strategy for antibiotic removal in water environment because of its low cost, low energy consumption, ease to operate, and high efficiency.…”
