Achieving tetracycline removal enhancement with granules in marine matrices: Performance, adaptation, and mechanism studies

Highly Efficient Ultrasound-Driven Ti3+-Doped TiO2 with Oxygen Vacancies: A Promising Visible-Light Catalyst for Complete Sonophotocatalytic Degradation of Tetracycline

“…To address these concerns and safeguard the environment and all living beings, researchers have proposed various strategies to eliminate or degrade TC using physical and chemical techniques such as adsorption, 4 ion exchange, 5 electrocoagulation, 6 ozonation, 7 and biological processes. 8 Although these techniques have effectively removed antibiotics, they also have drawbacks such as antibacterial resistance, large energy consumption, incomplete degradation due to the transfer of liquid to solid state, etc. 9 To circumvent these limitations, sonophotocatalysis emerges as an exceptionally effective method involving the simultaneous application of ultrasound and visible light irradiation.…”

“…Studies indicate that approximately 90% of TC is excreted in feces and reaches the surface water, leading to its accumulation and subsequent pollution of soil and water. , The persistent occurrence of such antibiotics in the environment can disrupt the native microbial community and interfere with material circulation and energy flow in soil and water ecosystems, posing significant ecological and environmental risks. To address these concerns and safeguard the environment and all living beings, researchers have proposed various strategies to eliminate or degrade TC using physical and chemical techniques such as adsorption, ion exchange, electrocoagulation, ozonation, and biological processes .
